Huckabee will make an excellent VP for McCain and complete an unbeatable ticket as the GOP rides the South, Sunbelt, and Midwest to victory again.

Anything’s better than Hillary, and her alimony presidency.

I’d rather see McCain put an illegal immigration hardliner on the ticket for VP.

I have a bad feeling, though, it could be Lindsey Gramnisty.

Don’t count Romney out yet boys. He probably still leads in delegates.

McCain or Romney needs to take Rudy or Thompson IMHO. Huckabee is a big spending liberal that will not garner a single vote for the ticket. All of his support is support the republicans will get whoever runs. Huckabee’s only stand that I like is the Fair Tax.

Romney may lead in delegates, but he lost Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.  Super Tuesday is going to separate the contenders from the pretenders.  A liberal Northeasterner like Romney doesn’t stand a chance in the South or Sunbelt.

I don’t know about California and Florida.  I still think this one may go to the convention. I heard a guy this morning saying Thompson may stay in the race to garner delegates at the expense of Huckabee in the South and then pull out and endorse McCain, his good friend.

Romneny did better in SC than I thought.

Rudy G. and Mitt R. do not have a prayer of winning in the south. Their northeastern views will not peddle in the south. Fred Thompson just started to late and Huckabee just does not appeal to enough voters or factions to win the big prize.

This election is about the economy and national security.

In the end this thing is gonna be John McCain against Hillary Clinton. With McCain being our next President.

I can see it going to the convention particularly if Rudy were to pick up Florida and New York OR if he looses Florida pulls out and then Mitt carries NY and then it will be a free for all.

I think we as Republicans ought to give a McCain Presidency the same respect he gave Bush’s presidency.

Easy on McCain boys---he was one of very few Senators to garner the “taxpayer superhero” classification by the CAGW. http://councilfor.cagw.org/site/VoteCenter?location=S&page;=congScorecard He is very good on wanting to control spending. That is issue number one for me. Nothing has been more disappointing for me than the republicans abandonment of fiscal restraint as a party core issue.

I don’t like McCain/Feingold but it seems to be playing into the republican hands. It should be repealed. 

He has a very good understanding of immigration and I suspect if any thing is really done about immigration the legislation will look a
lot more like what McCain supports than what Huckabee supports. It is the most pragmatic thing to do.

Though there was no way to know back in 2000 we’d be in this situation, I believe that had McCain been elected President, we’d be in a better situation in the War on Terror.  Let’s face it.  When it came to real foreign policy and running a war as Commander-in-Chief, George Bush had no credentials.

And when it comes to illegal immigration and securing the border, we’d been no worse off with McCain.  Bush was probably a bigger advocate than McCain on that Kennedy/McCain/LaRaza/Big Business “reform” bill.

The way I saw it, Duncan Hunter and John McCain have more experience/credentials than any other candidate to lead during the War on Terror as Commander-in-Chief, which should be the #1 Issue for 2008, and Hunter had already acted to secure the border, so I prefered him.

But he dropped out this past weekend, so I’m going with the other guy who is the only other candidate to have ever fought in a war and currently knows what it’s like to have his own child fighting overseas.

One thing about Romney---can he put some Northeastern states in play for the republicans?? Did you see the poll on Drudge that says he is leading in Florida?

I get two thoughts when I see/hear Mitt Romney talk:  1.  Slimey used car salesman (might be an insult to car salesmen to compare them to Romney) 2.  GOP version of John Kerry

The guy is supposedly the most conservative of the front-runners, but he gives me a bad feeling in my gut.  I can’t vote for him.

That would be a tough ticket for me to vote for. I can’t stand the Huckster and McCain has his problems with immigration, McCain/Feingold, etc…

At the risk of losing the South.  I would never vote for Romney for President.
