SubscribeShocker: Mitt Romney Endorses John McCain
From a relieved Associated Press:
Romney Endorsing McCain
By LIZ SIDOTI
NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — Officials have told The Associated Press Mitt Romney will endorse former rival John McCain.
He will endorse the Republican front-runner on Thursday. The officials have told spoke on condition of anonymity. Romney will release his 288 delegates and urge them to back McCain.
The former Massachuttsetts governor dropped out of the race last week. It became apparent that toppling McCain would be near impossible.
Well, we have missed out on a conservative, good, decent man.
The only question that now remains is for whom should Republicans vote in the upcoming primaries that allow party cross-overs? Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Obama?
Personally, I think everyone should vote for Mr. Obama. This may be our last realistic chance to stop Hillary.

Angling for the VP slot, no doubt. When the McCain campaign craters in the 2008 election, Mitt will re-invent himself as the new conservative Messiah for 2012.

Hey - wait Cincinnatus! Now why would Romney want to run as a conservative. I thought that wing of the party was irrelevent????
Rush nailed right up along side my comment last week. The minute McCain turns any other way other than to port, he’s dead. And there is the reason for how he will loose the election. A true, conservative too, right?

“Personally, I think everyone should vote for Mr. Obama.”
You have a good idea there SG….and with the Texas primaries coming in March….hmmmm, it’s tempting. :-)
Much to my disappointment and chagrin, everyone that I have supported, Hunter, Thompson, then Romney has dropped out of the race. So let me try this….”Go Hillary! (Eeewww, now I feel dirty. )

I can’t wait for Thompson to endorse McCain as well, given they’re such good friends…

Thompson endorsed McCain last Friday:
Fred Thompson Backs McCain

It boggles my mind that we can be in a nation of 300 million people and these are our best choices for the most strategic position in the entire world.

SG, suddenly I’m very, very ashamed of the money I gave to Thompson’s campaign. :(

Et tu, Mitt?

As a Texan whose primary is not until March 4th, I can tell you that Republicans are not going to cross over and vote for HillBilly/Obama. There is a very strong reason for that. While you may be a registered Republican you can still vote Democratic in the primary. But that limits you to voting Democratic in all other state and local elections and not voting for your Republican choice.
My opinion is that a lot of Texas Republicans will do a write in. Or they will vote for Huckabee. Since our delegates are not “winner take all” it will not help the Huckster, but it also will not help McCain all that much.
And while I am wrong (more than usual this year) a lot of times, I think Hillary will take Texas. There is a huge Hispanic block here and with the racial strife that is going on in our large cities with Hispanics v. Blacks, Obama is not going to take the Hispanic vote. There is some real anomosity between the two.
That’s my 2 cents worth. Add to that about $3.98 and you can get a cup of Starbucks.

retire05;….”I think Hillary will take Texas”
I’ll help you cover part of that bet. Obama doesn’t have a clue with whom or what he’s fooling. He hasn’t been on the scene long enough. One way or another Clinton will win Texas and I don’t think Obama has the stomach or the organization to counter the down-and-dirty politicking yet to come. The Clintons’ hired henchmen will lead off, but if it looks questionable, Bill and Hillary will both pitch in. They have no scruples. Just ask Vince Fost…..oh, never mind.

JohnMG, there is great anomosity between Blacks and Hispanics. If HillBilly can take the Hispanic vote in Texas, she will take most of the over 200 delegates. But we shall see.
Even liberal pundits are starting to say that Obama is going to have to start adding substance to his “hope” and “change” rhetoric. People can’t eat change or put hope in the bank and with the MSM telling us how our economic is in the tank, Democratic voters are going to start asking the age old question that all Dems ask “what can you REALLY do for me? How many free stuff am I going to get?”
I read one legal blogger who posted that in all his research (Nexus-Lexus, legal sites, etc.) he could not find one thing that Obama had written while president of the Harvard Law Review. Now that is unusual that someone who was so important would not write one article, one opinion on a court ruling or even one thing on a SCOTUS ruling that would affect the law school. Obama also has claimed that unlike every other Illinois senator, he did not keep any of his records from those days. The Illinois Senate historian said that was really odd since ALL senators keep records that go into the Illinois Senate Historical records. Especially for one who has been so obviously politially ambitious.
Obama has refused to more debates with Hillary. I think it is because when he is not scripted and reading from a teleprompter, he is basically lost. He has certain things he says and the few times that Hillary has managed to nail him on a particular subject, he has stumbled. He comes off as condesending (”I like you too, Hillary”) and not really knowledgable about issues. He is, in truth, an empty suit with far left socialist viewpoints.
I am not sure McCain can beat either one. He is an old style campaigner (so is Hillary and it is hurting her because she included so many like Sandy Berger and Norm Podesta to her campaign) and the voter is looking for new as shown by the Obamania that is sweeping the nation. But if McCain gets off his tail and starts talking about the issues (the WOT, the economy, jobs being outsourced, and the fact that Dems are holding up legislation that make all of us safer) and not falling back on the “BTW, did you know I was a war hero” speech of John Kerry, he might have a chance.

“I read one legal blogger who posted that in all his research (Nexus-Lexus, legal sites, etc.) he could not find one thing that Obama had written while president of the Harvard Law Review.”
Pretty remarkable — and damning — if true.
I wonder if Obama has released his school transcripts. Or, if like the Clintons’, they are still under lock and key.

SG, never heard about Obama’s school transcripts. They would prove interesting. Remember, Dems are blowing the horn about how Obama got into Harvard but bash President Bush because he went to Yale, getting in only because he father went to Yale. So what? Obama’s father graduated from Harvard and I am sure they have the same nepotism rule that Yale does.
And have you notice that since Obama has admitted to using drugs the flap over how the left seems to think that Bush was such a junkie in his youth has disappeared?
February 15th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Funny how we have seen Bush’s transcripts. (And Kerry’s and Gore’s.) But not Obama’s or the Clintons’.
And of course it turned out that the dunce Bush had better grades than both Kerry and the Nobel Prize winning Al Gore.
February 15th, 2008 at 2:03 am
Funny that the open Clintons won’t release their tax returns either… not.
February 15th, 2008 at 2:25 am
Obama is listed in the Harvard alumni directory as having received his law degree magna cum laude. There’s a lot to criticize about Obama, but his academic record does not appear to be among them.
February 15th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
One of the few times I disagree with you, SG. There is a groundswell behind Obama. Despite the fact he’s got no real record, no successful legislation or achievement. Unless you count voting against the “Born Alive” act, which would require doctors to provide lifesaving treatment to viable, healthy babies born alive after “botched” abortions…
People love him, liberals love him. He’s the most radically leftist candidate in American history and he just might win.
Hillary, on the other hand, is far more divisive. There’s much more dirt on her and ol’ Bill than on Obama. I don’t think she would win the general election. Obama stands a much better chance. If McCain is the GOP nominee (which it seems he will be), he will be blown out in November. And nothing would be worse for this country than Barack Obama.
I’m seriously considering voting for Hillary in Wisconsin’s primary next week.
February 15th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
The bosses of the DNC don’t believe Obama can win. I don’t either. Albeit for different reasons.
I don’t believe that a majority of the American voters have taken leave of their senses quite yet. We’re close. But we’re not quite there — I hope. (And if we are, we might as well give up.)
The Obama wave is made up on impressionable young women, blacks and functioning morons. Granted they comprise a large portion of the Democrat party.
But I refuse to believe that they form the majority of the voting Americans. And I’m willing to take that chance. For we will never again have such a great chance to end the Clinton nightmare.
Besides, even if Mr. Obama is elected, I don’t believe he is competent enough to get his policies enacted. That is, if he comes up with any. (Cf. Nancy Pelosi.)

I, too, used to think that it was better to have Hillary as the Democratic candidate, because she’s such a love-her-or-totally-despise-her figure that Americans would come out in droves just to vote against her. But even if she won the nomination yet lost the election, she’d still be a major force in the DNC, along with Bill, and I think Obama’s too much of a relative innocent to be able to successfully fend them and their dirty politics off. The Clintons need to be smacked down, to have their fifteen minutes end, so to speak. Hillary’s campaign is showing that the Clintons are losing their crushing grip on the Democratic party, now they should cut it off altogether. She’ll never be able to run a second campaign for President, and maybe, that will be the end of the Clintons. Maybe.
