Take that, Rush! Mitt Quits
With the evangelical Republicans having a strangle-hold on the South, it's beyond me how a Mormon thought he could win the Republican nomination. This guy's goose was cooked before the campaign ever got started.
When a large section of your own party thinks you believe that Jesus came to America, and you wear magic underwear to protect you from evil...you're screwed.
"WASHINGTON - John McCain effectively sealed the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday as chief rival Mitt Romney suspended his faltering campaign. "I must now stand aside, for our party and our country," Romney told conservatives.[..]

Well, there is a shocker. Actually, it does show that he has SOME business sense. It only took losing $40 million of his own stash before he folded. His sons must have told him to stop spending all their money. Who did he think he was...George Bush?
Now won't it be funny if Mitt tells everyone to vote for Huckabee?
At least we won't be subjected to all those boring speeches after Mitt lost a state...his poor wife and staff standing behind him with forced smiles on their faces melting like cakes in the rain the longer he droned on. He gave the worst speeches ever.
Though he did rouse his base with that goodbye speech yesterday...going on about how electing Obama or Hillary would be a "surrender to terror." A disgraceful and exploitative smear.
I'm sure that at the moment President Obama or President Hillary is being inaugurated, barge-loads of al Qaeda warriors brandishing box-cutters will be arriving on our shores.
BTW Mitt... now that there is no campaign for them to "serve" in, isn't it time for one or two of your five strapping sons to visit a recruiting station to fight in that war you promote?
Anyway, Mitt left because he lost. Period. He never connected with ordinary people...and he was like an actor auditioning for a role that's already been cast.
Our nation just might be ready for an African-American president or a female president...we are just not ready to elect an android.
Surely Mitt isn't angling for the VP slot...he and McCain dislike each other intensely. But then, by convention time their little spats could be healed.
Whoa! Not a McCain/Huckabee ticket! That would be a monumental disaster, the worst ticket in history. Don't do it John! You're no spring chicken...what if you keel over and put us in the hands of a President Huckabee who wants to amend our constitution to God's Laws?!
Maybe Mitt is merely bowing to the inevitable and practicing St. Ronnie's 11th commandment--Thou shall not speak ill of other Republicans.
Is our Republicans finally learning?
I'll say it again--IF Republicans were smart, they'd lick their wounds and coalesce around McCain and aim for November...while Democrats spend the next six months squabbling.
Boy, I heard that Rush Limbaugh had a little hissy-fit on his show about Mitt leaving...but it's nothing a little Oxy can't handle. I NEVER ever listen to Rush, but I might start. Hearing him bash the Republican nominee would be priceless.
