I did, and I certainly wouldn't discourage others from doing it. I just feel that stimulating the "what if" conversation is fruitless. SGS, then vote Romney.

McCain, however you look at it, won't run our government as conservatives. He will screw up the war on Terrorists, much worse than Bush. He will appointed "centerist" judges who basically believe the constitution is a living and breathing document. He has nothing to offer in term of domestic policy (nor any experience to back it up) -- see, the top issues are economy, illegal immigration and healthcare cost; those he will screw up big time. And once we offend him, you can forget it that he will ever listen to us again -- he has the history of not forgiving the people who worked against him, regardless of what he has been saying in this campaign. Remember how he slashed out against us when we protested his immigration reform bill? He was stopped only because there were others around him who have stepped back -- he personally was not stopped. Now, image him in this position of power, he will do everything, INCLUDING WORKING WITH DEMOCRATS, to get what he want passed. Rusty, at this point, it’s Romney or a Constitutional party for me.

He knows if he waits around long enough something good will happen. Huck reminds me of a dog panting at the family family dining table waiting for someone to throw him so scraps.

It would be great to see Huck and Omarosa go head to head. Maybe Huck could play his base for one of the tasks. I would like to see Huck in the next Celebrity Apprentice.

There is no wAY THE rnc WOULD EVEN ALLOW HUCK TO BE SUCESSFUL IN A BROKERED CONV. Mitt in the race come Sept, would be a sweet song to my ears though.

If this were to case McCain to drop out of the race there is no way Mike Huckabee would win I could see Romney getting selected out of a brokered convention because of the way he did exit gracefully when the time was right and showed he cared about the party winning more than making this some kind of ego campaign, which is what Huckabee is doing. It's obvious that Huckabee cannot win votes outside of his base of evangelical social conservatives, and many of those were votes taken away from Mitt.

He continues on because that's all he has going at the moment. And yes, Mitt could start campaigning again, he just doesn't need to at this point. Should it come to that, however, he'll do better than Huckabee at the convention. The likelihood of any of that coming to pass is almost nil. That is not what’s keeping Huckabee in the race.

Would he be able to reclaim his delegates? The thought of having Huckabee of all people represent our party in November really makes me uneasy. Could Mitt jump back in at that point?
