If one year ago you told me that the top choices for the repuke party were McCain & Huckabee....

[LynneSin]

....I'd demand you get drug tested for smoking crack!

I can't believe Rommey just dropped out. It's almost like the republicans are handing the White House back to us because McCain and Huckabee are just too out there to be qualified as president. Without a doubt McCain's age will play into the race (along with the million years in Iraq). And Huckabee is just way too tied into the fundie sect to appeal to moderate voters.

1. The Republicans are handing us nothing. Clinton is totally beatable in a general. n/t

[LynneSin]

3. Wow - when did Hillary win the nomination?

I knew I was out sick a day but didn't realize the race was overwith?

[Danieljay]

14. assuming she wins.... which personally I hope she doesn't..... n/t

10. As soon as they slip Bush around McCain, he'll drop like a rock ... and Huckabee is a joke

Either of our candidates will beat them soundly.

2. If he weren't Mormon, I believe Romney would be the nominee right now.

I must admit, I underestimated the bigotry of the evangelical base. They couldn't bring themselves to vote for the "heretic."

I know, stupid me. This is the last time I make that mistake.

[LynneSin]

5. He really came out like the most normal one of the group

Which shocks me that he's dropping out.

I figured he'd hold out a bit to see if he could get VP with McCain. The convention should be interesting but I don't have a stomach to watch that show!

[DesertFlower]

8. i agree. IMO he would do

the "least" harm as a republican president.

[melody]

9. Romney has never seemed normal to me in any sense ... he's the vision of a psychopath

Too plastic, too smiley, too impossible to pin down, lots of skeletons ... he's the least attractive candidate
for a ton of reasons.

[LynneSin]

12. Well I just read the quote where Romney said he stopped his campaign because...

he didn't want to be a part of aiding a surrender to terror

[DesertFlower]

6. i think you might be right.nt

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

15. He was Jeb's boy. I'm equally as shocked.

Maybe that's a good thing.

16. "This is the last time I make that mistake". Here's one mistake you didn't make

although you shouldn't have archived it so soon. You called it, just a little over a day ago. lol:

4. I was thinking that whoever runs for the Thugs this year is on a

suicide mission. :shrug:

[LynneSin]

7. Kinda like Bob Dole in 96

I swear they gave that race away. Clinton's popularity didn't grow until after 96. I think with the right candidate they could have taken back the White House. But then again, I still believe that the Reaganites in the party were investing their time and money to have one of the Bushes run for office and 1996 was too early for either to be ready. George was only in office for 2 years and they hadn't claimed Florida yet (that was 98 that Jeb won)

[EFerrari]

13. Exactly like Dole. Jeb also got too dirty too fast out in Florida.

He seems to be pretty much rehabilitated now, though. :scared:

[Golden Raisin]

11. Do not count your chickens before they

have hatched. After what I have seen happen to this Country in the last 7 years of the Bush regime, anything can happen --- even what seems impossible, improbable or laughable.
