If McCain and Huck Are Going To Collude, They Could At Least Do It On The Same Ticket
February 5th, 2008 by JonI’ve said this before, and I make no bones about saying it again.
Mike Huckabee is a man without honor.
Maybe you’ve thought I just say that because I believe he’s only in this campaign to siphon off votes from Mitt. This fact is not in dispute.
Today, however, both he and McCain have taken the political system to a new low – something that truly requires the combination of shamelessness and desperation embodied by those two campaigns.
In the West Virginia Caucus, when it became apparent that Mitt would pull out the first victory of this Super Tuesday, Huck and McCain supporters (obviously working in tandem) got together to combine their delegates against Mitt. Huckabee won his first caucus since Iowa – only with the support of McCain backers intent on derailing the Mitt Express.
If McCain and Huck are going to collude their campaigns, then the time has come for McCain to announce Huck as his VP. To continue Huck’s charade of a campaign is simply dishonest, dishonorable, and makes a mockery of the political primary system.
This tactic is a travesty and West Virginia should be ashamed they allowed themselves to be used in such a fashion.
Memo to Huck: Win fair, or go home. Actually, in truth, you should have gone home a very long time ago. You are a man without honor – and your national political future is over. End Memo.

National Popular Vote totals as of this moment are
McCain with 4,830,705
Romney with 4,105,563
Huckabee with 2,403,166
The delegates may not show it but Romney has almost as many as McCain. I wouldn’t call the race yet just like no one would call the Democratic Nomination yet. Romney just happens to be screwed over again and again when it comes to the delegate counts.

I don’t want Huck to go home yet. I want him to hang in and keep taking votes and delegates from McCain. I want to get to the convention without a clear winner. That way we still have a chance of getting Mitt on the ticket as the Republican candidate. That would be great!!!
There is a website trying to rally united support for Romney, either as Presidential nominee, or as the VP nominee. Many Republicans who will not vote for McCain (like me) would change their mind if he picked Romney as his running mate.
You should check out the website. http://www.unitethegop.com.
WE NEED ROMNEY!!!

By the way, if your state hasn’t held it’s primary yet,
VOTE ROMNEY!!!!
How many of you realize that Romney still won the CPAC straw poll, EVEN AFTER HE SUSPENDED HIS CAMPAIGN!!!
Also, since he suspended his campaign (as opposed to quitting) he still has his delegates. Cool, huh?
