CNN says Romney's out - just crossing the newswire

[montanaskier]

McCain and Huckabee will be the Republican ticket and I fear they will be the next Republican disaster. Fuck I hope not.

Come on Obama!!!!

[skibuminwyo]

McCain and Huckabee almost scares me as much as Bush and Cheney.

[tex1230]

Come on Obama!!!!

that's disgusting

[Tippster]

2nded.

[rideit]

Well, he is a businessman, and probably has a good nose for when to sell.
mcCain/Huckabee...more typical, white, religious, old shitheads just like we have had forever.

[lemon boy]

No way that McCain puts huckabuck on the ticket. [crosses fingers]

got that fundamentalist flavor to it but I actually respect McCain as a person and don't think they are quite as Evil.

All in all, I'm glad to see the Mormon Cyborg out of the race...

[coreshot-tourettes]

Sonofabitch. McCain "there are going to be more wars" and "100 years in Iraq" (actual quotes!) makes Bush look like Kucinich.

I hope you're right.

[YourSupremeExcellency]

Huckabee on the ticket makes absolutely no sense. I won't say it won't happen since McCain spent 10 minutes sucking his dick during his Super Tuesday speech which was odd, but McCain not only gets nothing out of Huckabee on his ticket but it causes him even more problems with the conservatives he is trying to assuage.

[brettf]

McCain will have to go to the right for a running mate... I'm just sayin'...

and FTR - I hope you're right LB.

[lemon boy]

I hope you're right.

So do I.

IMO the huckster is simply too much of a republican psycho to really fit into a McCain campaign or white house.

McCain/Romney is much more likely.

Actually, to really complete the "from the ashes" theme - it'd have to be McCain/Gingrich.

[summit]

I wonder who McCain will pick...

[Tippster]

Supposedly the Gov. Of Minnesota - Pawlenty? - is on the list.

[PNWbrit]

Summit - please try and keep up.

There's a good fellow.

Romney would have been good for the market.. The others might delay my retirement a few years.

[YourSupremeExcellency]

I think Charlie Crist would fit the bill.

[ColMan]

McCain bringing on Huck would make the far rightwing nutjobs happy (i.e. that pill popping junkie Rush), but would also push away a lot of the independents that McCain has in his court. Risky play, doubt he will do it. And hopefully he will not for the sake of this country. Having a nutcase as VP (especially given McCain’s age) would just continue our downward spiral.

Dude you obviously haven't been following things. The conservatives don't like Huck either. Conservative means more then just being religious. I mean fuck Jimmy Carter was real religious too.

[BeanDip4All]

heh. i was thinking the same thing.

heh. i was thinking the same thing.

What are you guys saying? That Romney wouldn't have been good for the market or your personal benevolence trumps individual greed?

In Romney's 2007 Iowans for Taxpayer Relief and Iowa Republican Straw Poll speeches, he advocated eliminating the capital gains tax. Romney has since stated that he favors eliminating any taxes related to capital gains or other investments on all individuals or families who make less than $200,000 per year. Romney has also advocated eliminating the estate tax.[89]

[lemon boy]

I think we're both saying that believing one presidential candidate over the another to be "good for the market" and for sure cut years off your retirement horizon is pure-d-ignorance.
