I’m looking forward to it. I like clinging to the hope that ¡El Juan McShamnesty-Hernandez y Feingold y Kennedy! can be nudged to the right a little bit.
Both Romney and Huckabee have said they are staying in, and that’s good news for the GOP.
No, if you can’t win then quit. Nobdy cares what Mitt or Huck has to say. Let McCain be the nominee ASAP and let the Dems try to hammer him as much as possible early. We still have 9 months left.

Somebody remind me what the consequence of the 1976 nomination process was again? I get this strange feeling that it wasn’t very good.

If he did, he’d be instantly castigated here as a flip-flopping phony. How many would accept it as genuine if he suddenly took a hardliner stance on illegal immigration?

Not sure Hewitt’s wrong here. The sooner the R race is resolved, the sooner the media can go into full-time Obamadoration mode, whilst the Rs get eclipsed.
Also, if there’s any way Mitt’s staying in keeps Elmer Gantry off the ticket I’m all for it.
Did Thompson get out too soon? Should he have stayed in to keep Hyukabee in the low(er) teens?
OK, I mentioned almost everyone in that post, the partisans should be here any second to start pounding on each other.

I know what you mean, but to be sarcastic I thought McCain was a principled man? I thought he doesn’t budge on what he stands for, like he did with the surge when he “was the only one who supported the surge”.
Come to think of it, have you noticed that Mr Bush hasn’t come out and said something to the effect of “That John McCain, he’s a good man !”, thereby killing any chances Sen McCain has with winning the election? Maybe that means that Mr Bush secretly wants McCain to win…
I blame George Bush for McCain being the presumptive nominee!

I read the Romney-stays-in thread, so I feel compelled to explain the logic of that third sentence. Huck staying in will tick McCain off eventually, and if so, there goes the VP slot for him. The only thing I’d be willing to put money on in this political season is McCain’s vindictiveness.

Anything that makes John McCain work harder, spend more money, beg conservatives and possibly drive him to the point of exhaustion is okay by me.

If Romney wants to stay in to force McCain further right and to avoid the possibility of a Huckafool VP slot then that is alright with me.

Personally, I don’t think it helps the party
