I'm down with what Huckabee's doing. I, too, like to pepper my conversations with obscure references from an ancient text -- Kama Sutra.

I'm not a Christian, but I got most of those! Sheesh!

So Romney's endorsed McCain. What that means in terms of delegates is clear as mud. Here's a good explanation of the complications involved.

Not that it's going to matter much in regards to who the nominee will be.....all this really does is dilute Huckabees leverage towards VP-hood.

And let's face it......McCain may not be running for re-election in 2012 so the VP spot is a bit more important here than it normally would be.

Ghoulish Delight · 02-14-2008, 03:05 PM

With Romney no longer splitting the base votes, Huckabee was starting to pick up some momentum. If he had carried that AND gotten the support of Romney and whatever delegates would end up shuttled his way from that, it would have made the race pretty interesting. But yeah, Romney's clearly angling for the VP nod.

Romney getting the VP nod would seal the deal against my voting for McCain, even with Hillary as the dem candidate. Guess I'd better starting reading up on the libertarian candidates in case Obama doesn't win the nomination...

If I hear one more bloody story about Cuba

I know it's big news, but Jeebus, how many ways can you possibly say, "It's unclear what this means for Cuba. It remains to be seen what the person or people who take over do and how much power Fidel will still hold behind the scenes." There. That's the story in two freaking sentences. There's absolutely nothing more to report. Zip. Aaaaargh!
