Now we will see the true nature of the talkers who claim they are all about conservatism. Even Sean Hanninty a week ago told Mike Huckabee that he saw him and Romney as the two most conservative choices. He said only previous victories in Michigan and Nevada were the tipping point in his decision. I think it will be another round of hide the salami because when it comes to McCain we have all heard about his record. We don't care who he would pick as VP we simply don't care that he was a POW when is comes to electing a president.
What Romney failed to recognize as did the talkers is that with Huckabee out of the race after South Carolina according to the talkers he still got alot of votes. The facts are that over 50% of the total vote count in these primaries was against McCain. If Romney was the alternate he would have gotten the Paul vote and the Huckabee vote when niether was given a legitamate chance of winning. After Romney dropped out he never endorsed another candidate. Even when Huckabee absorbed his votes in huge numbers. So even when the facts prove that most of republican voters will not support John McCain because he is no different than a Clinton or Obama. Now Mitt endorses him proving he to is a liberal and exstinguishing any hopes he might have in the future of running again. Those who think people look at previous delagate counts are braindead. The recall from this election will more favor Huckabee who fought to keep McCain from being the failed nominee. The electorate who Romney has now sold out will see him as enabling McCain to go to the convention unchallenged. Further they will also remember his statements about Washinton being broken and his willingness to throw in with entrenched power as proof positive of his shifting positions. The voters in this party are not at all interested in a candidate who tells us what we want to hear if he can't pass the test. There was a clear difference in this contest and while McCain is solidly ahead before his endorsement, Romney would have been seen as a man of conservative principle had he endorsed Huckabee. If Huckabee was able to seat Romneys' delagates we would have a real fight for the nomination. This is what the party wanted, this is the only way the party would ever unify behind the eventual nominee. This is the only way Romney could have proven he could be trusted as a true conservative he has failed. The only hope now for the GOP is that most of these delagates object to their being endorsed and announce they are going to vote for Huckabee at the convention. I sincerely hope Huckabee stays in and is able to deny McCain 1191 delgates 60% of the party will never vote for McCain and we can not afford Clinton or Obama.
Thanks Mitt for giving me the opportunity to write you political eulogy. RIP
