Shocker - Romney out

[KenP]

I didn't expect this so soon.

:iagree:

[BKLYNH2]

While I don't really care he's out I don't get the bizzare rationale.
How is his continuation of a campaign aiding terrorism?
The Dems are not going to have a candidate anytime soon so why would you think that resolving the GOP race quickly is critical? Now the dems can target one cadidate instead of fight each other and McCain doesn't know whether to go after Hillary or Obama or Hillama. :giggling:

[Big Dad]

I think the GOP's just getting their ducks in a row...it shows that they can get their $hit together quickly, in contrast to the democrats.

Have you ever seen trading places?

Do you really think the "good old boy, old money democrats" would allow Obama or Hillary to run their country/money? I don't think the country's come that far at this point in time.

Besides, most people know we still need another Republican administration to ramrod this war.

My 2 pesos....

:iagree: Sounds like you listened to Rush today too!

[KenP]

:iagree: Sounds like you listened to Rush today too!Rush was for Romney just last week.

BTW, who are you?;)

What Huckabee waiting for?:twak:

Wow I haven't heard Rush for the past 3 years...not in Seattle.

I was very surprised as well to see this. Way too early to call it quits.. but I think he did us a favor really, as if he cant handle this situation we sure the heck dont need him as a pres...

[devilsfan]

I'm not thrilled about this. He was the only candidate I liked.

Huckabee is too much a zealot. And McCain is just freakin psycho.

I'm just going to vote for whoever is going to be easiest to assassinate.

Romney was the last "electable" candidate in the running who was serious about closing the border. :rant:

McCain is no conservative and his views about the border are a joke. Osama and Billary aren't going to do anything about the border.

I agree with Ron Paul on many issues, but IMO he's wrong about the war. The two most important issues for me are the war and the borders.

[KenP]

The two most important issues for me are the war and the borders.None of the candidates are going to do enough with the border, but I'll be damned if I'll vote for one of those Lieberals.

They're all pretty liberal now! If Romney had talked as strongly during his entire campaign as he did in his "suspension" speech, he would probably still be in the race. He was pandering too much to the Conservacrats in the party!

The way he pulled out of the race, by suspending his campaign, he is still able to receive contributions. What's that all about?:confused: Once Huckabee withdraws will we see Romney reappear?

[RuggedH2]

Huckabee has a deal with McCain, his job was to pull the Evangelicals away from Romney in the South. It worked.

They were not likely to vote for a Mormon anyway, but a former Baptist preacher was a easy choice for them, most didn't see far enough ahead to understand the real meaning of that vote.

You can't be President without the South. Romney couldn't win in the South with Huckabee doing his job for McCain.

McCain knows politics.........

Edit*

I don't like McCain, Obama or Billary.......and even a vote for Ron Paul has us tuck tail and run in Iraq.

I think the liberal media succeeds in pulling public opinion where they want it.......Make people worry about him being a Mormon, and they won't look at the conservative platform that is probably more like their own views, than the guy they will get if they throw their vote away.

The media never wanted to have to run the Democratic choice against Romney in the National Election, they prefer to run against McCain.......that's why the New York Times endorsed him. Many people can't see past Romney's religion but if they could, they might see a better candidate than the one they have now.

I wanted Duncan Hunter or Romney....at least both were conservative.

[H2Blondie]

McCain's now getting the celebrity support and showing up at all the fundraisers hosted by Stallone.:clapping: I guess that's his only hope at combatting the "Oprah-effect".

Romney is out.

He left the way he did in order to be able to re-enter the race if something happened to McCain, and McCain couldn't continue. That's all "suspending" his campaign means.

[dochummer]

:) Voted for Romney before he pulled out. Been sick this wknd, so didn't get a chance to attend the caucus'. Don't know what I would've done there anyways...
