As if Romney would endorse Huckabee, who has little chance of winning the nomination, and ZERO chance of winning the general election.
Romney and Huckabee DESPISE each other--religiously and financially.
Romney is doing the classy thing and biding his time, just like McCain did in 2000.
Prediction--McCain will lose a close one to Obama, then Romney becomes the frontrunner in 2012.
I don't think so MS, not as long as McCain need the Huckabee conservative Christian vote, and not as long as Romney goes to a temple instead of a church, and has an angel called "Moroni" on top of the steeple.
No, I think McCain realizes that if he wants to count on the right wing of the Republican Party for votes he better move to the right and start rubbing elbows with the Ralph Reed, Pat Robertson crowd.
McCain is in a tough spot because he has to prove he's going to uphold the "Conservative" agenda which is going to lose the majority of the American voters who are tired of the Republicans and want a change from the Bush era.
I think McCain will pander now to the right wing of the Republican Party and then after he is nominated as the R candidate for President he will become a much more middle of the road and reasonable sounding candidate.
He has no choice or he will lose big time, he must reflect the key operative word the public wants to hear,"change".
I think McCain will end up with a moderate to liberal VP on the order of "Chuck Hagel" or if he's smart a "Colin Powell"
just my hunch.
Loyal party guy.
McCain may win..but Romney is waiting to fill the slot should he be needed.
since its looking like Barack will get the nomination McCain needs to pick a strong conservative woman or minority who if McCain loses can come back in four years and beat barack when he is the Jimmy Carter of the modern age
George Skelton in the Times said that McCain's having moved to the right on illegal immigration since he's become the frontrunner, to saying the borders must be closed before there's a path to legalization, will cost him. I don't think so, the opposite it probably true for most people. Certainly anyone I know and they're not rightwing.
-- maybe when people say otherwise in polls, it's sort of like the Bradley effect, where they're afraid to be criticized for what they really think.
Hillary and McCain aren't all that different, but Obama is so far to the left, once people stop focusing on his "vision" and Oprah emptiness they'll wake up and realize they're stuck with a choice between an extreme leftie and a guy who wants to spend more money on the war and is opposed to abortion.
