New BFFs?

3960 casualties in the War in Iraq since it began. 4000 casualties EACH DAY in America by abortion. No candidate deserves to be president who isn't keeping the 2nd issue at the forefront.

Good Lord, I hope and pray the average voting American is not as stupid as a large number of people who submitted these posts. Romney throws his weight to McCain. "He's a flip-flopper"!, some scream. "He's being paid by the GOP to do it!", said one moron. "He's been conspiring with McCain to do this for weeks! (which would mean even before Super Tuesday) says another. "Romney has no guts for the fight!", others whine.

Hey, I know......

HOW ABOUT ROMNEY DROPPED OUT BECAUSE THE COUNTRY DIDN'T SUPPORT HIM ENOUGH AND HE CONCLUDED THAT EVEN IF HE DID WIN THE NOMINATION THE PROLONGED FIGHT MIGHT CAUSE HIM TO LOSE THE NATIONAL ELECTION AND NOW HE FEARS THE SAME FOR MCCAIN WHICH WOULD MEAN THE DEMOCRATS WOULD WIN AND IRAQ LOSES AND THEREFORE THE TERRORISTS WIN WHICH WOULD IN EVERY WAY BE B - A - D FOR OUR COUNTRY!

Naw, couldn't possibly be that......

(and a special note to the horribly offended weeney out there (there's got to be at least one of you) who's hurt because I "yelled" in my post......hey, I know. How about you try listening for a change so that the rational people on this board would't need to?

My cheer is not so much "Go McCain!" as it is "Kill the terrorists before they kill us!" You know, like they did on 9-11.....

I don't get, even after reading the article, why Huckabee is still in the race. McCain is the nominee, period. SERIOUSLY!

Romney clearly made this endorsement to cater to the Republican stablishment. he has no principles and will go whichever way the wind blows. I notice that McCain still does not have the required number of delegates, so the race still continues on. My vote is for Huckabee; I'll cast it on March 4th in TX and hope it takes Mike all the way to the Convention. Everyone needs to have a voice in this important election, and I'm sick of the Republican establishment trying to get their own way. The people can still vote, and those in the Republican "must win" states have overwhelmingly voted for Huckabee. Wake up, GOP, or the Democrats will win by a landslide. The only hope we have is the populist voice of Mike Huckabee!!!

Two weeks after declaring "Washington is broken and John McCain is part of the problem", Mitt secures a backroom deal and performs his greatest flip-flop of all. I guess it's not terribly surprising, but I wish the GOP brass understood that people are tired of politics as usual, and sickened by this type of insincerity. Romney is the most artificial politician seen in recent years, and he just proved it. I hope his delegates flock to support the ONE authentic Conservative- indeed, the one authentic PERSON- left in the race: Governor Mike Huckabee.

Romney is obviously being paid by the party - either in a future opportunity, or in cold hard cash. Its the only explanation for his unexpected departure, and his unbelievable endorsement.

Hey, halftime... if you don't have enough money, you are not performing a good enough service for your fellow humans. This is America and anything is possible, but you have to "work" for it and be of service to others in order to have it come back to you. I raised 4 kids with no child support and no public assistance because I knew it was my responsibility and not anyone else's. Get off your entitlement mentality horse and get to work.

Romney is obviously being paid by the party - either in a futrue opportunity, or in cold hard cash. Its the only possible explanation for his sudden departure, and his unexpected (and unbelievable) endorsement. No one in the GOP makes a decision based on free thought or personal beliefs.

I am surprised that our preacher turned polititian Mike Huckabee cannot draw the biblical comparison between himself and Mitt Romney . Remember the story of King Soloman when two women were fighting over which was the mother of the baby and Soloman said he would have the child cut in half - one woman instantly said the child was not hers - and Soloman knew she was the true mother. Mitt Romney knows that the party must unite NOW if we are to be ready for our opponent in Nov. He has enough love for the party, the future of our country and the values we represent to step aside and let the "baby" live.. I was uncommitted before, and not really considering Romney. This has helped me to see both him and Huckabee in a different light. Romney is the true Republican, the true American - and so it seems, the candidate with true Christian values.

To Adirondackal - actually it's just politics. Huck is in the race to keep his 2012 candidacy and to surpass Mitt, whom it seems is not well liked by Huck also. Mitt sees that if Huck can get a few here and there, and ends up surpassing him in deligates, it would not bode well for Mitt's 2012 bid. So, cut Huck off ar the pass... become the king-maker. As for Huck - he's a tax-and-spend, social conservative, who fiscal conservatives don't like either. My guess is he's in this to be the new Leader of the Moral Majority.

Go Mac! He'll win the presidency DESPITE the reactionary right. It's time the loopy fart right-wing of the party gets its own "thumpin"!

Huckabee has stayed consistent throughout this entire process...and that is among many reasons why so many millions of us will continue to support him! We can TRUST what he says; we can TRUST that he would keep OUR interests topmost in his mind, not his; and we can TRUST him to bring this nation back to the moral principles and values it once represented! WE NEED HUCK MORE THAN EVER!

Again, Romney shows he's a patriot, willing to be part of the solution instead of being part of the problem. Huckabee should watch and learn.

Mitt Romney has accomplished everything in life that is left for him to do except one thing--to become President of the United States. I believe he spent untold hours of time and money (approx. 40 million) to make a difference. From what I can tell, like his father (who he adores), he wanted to make a difference. Time will tell that Romney will be true to his conservative principles. His parents really were not conservative politicians. I believe he is for real. One of the best speeches I have heard any politician give in the last 20 years was the speech he gave when he withdrew from the race. That was not faked. He has a real belief system that stands up to the naysayers and critics of the liberal left and the minority bigots in the Republican party. Whatever Romney does in the future, we need to take notice. Just like American reacted to watergate in electing Jimmy Carter who promised change, America will elect Obama. Obama will fall flat on his face. He won't last 4 years. He will be a lame duck in his second year into the presidency. Obama does not share the beliefs of mainstream America. He is the highest rated liberal in the US Senate. There is no way he will be able to bring Europe's socialism to the United States. Romney is someone to look for in 2012.

Prior to this campaign I knew very little about Romney. Although some of his positions have changed he defended these changes throughly and persuasevly in my opinion. Although I do think McCain distorted his statements concerning a timetable for withdraw in Iraq, Romney was able to rise above any animosity he has for McCain and support the candidate he feels is the best to move this country forward. I don't know how anybody in the republican party could be anything but impressed with Romney. As for Huckabee, he has run a very good campaign and has been a very impressive voice for the social conservatives and their issues, which are a vital part of the republican party. He also has every right to stay in the race as long as he wishes in order to advance the issues and policies he thinks are important to the nation and party. In the end McCain is going to be the nominee, and although he is not my first choice he is infinitely better than Obama or Clinton. I hope my fellow conservatives recognize this and ultimately support McCain.

He was against McCain before he was for him.... :-) I wonder if any of Romney's delegates could actually declare for Huckabee? Is there a dealine before the "freed" delegates have to say whom they will support? Or are they now become like the Democrats' Super-delegates? From the pictures I saw of this announcement, McCain still hd a pretty sour look on his face when Romney spoke.

What was so touching was this love was found for one another on Valentine's Day. Huck may seem like a pest to Mac right now, but just because he is the obvious winner doesn't mean the other team should lose all honor walking off the field in the third quarter. Despite the inevitable outcome a team fights for it's fans who paid to see the game and also for experience for the next season. Huck has a right to stay in and few believe Mitt is worried about the good of the party. Mitt is worried about image.

ROMNEY ENDORSED McCAIN BECAUSE HE DISLIKES HUCKABEE and he wants the republicans to win so he can maximize his profits.

The Presidency is not supposed to be OJT (on the job training). None of the candidates have any experience running anything. Romney was the only candidate who had started and run a successful business. I don't know what people are thinking if , infact, they are thinking. The really scary reality today is that the human animal is not intelligent but reactive like all other animals and has no common sense - that will kill the planet within 40 years or less. It is absolutely necessary for us to develop a test that meassures common sense. Bush has clearly demonstrated that he has none and it has been a fiasco for our country.

Mike Huckabee has 10+ years of executive experience, with a very accomplished record to prove it. He doesn't need OJT.
