ABC news just reported that Romney is dropping out. NBC confirmed it also. Says Romney,
Quote:
"If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror..."
"This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends and our supporters... many of you right here in this room... have given a great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming President. If this were only about me, I would go on. But I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America."
What happened to "We're going to keep battling, we're going to go all the way to the convention and we're going to win the White House?" What next for the Huckster? Could the GOP be uniting behind McCain to get the real battle started?
I am as you know not a big fan of the Huckster .But what he has demonstrated is that in the heartland he can mobilize the base to turn out .
What is unclear is if the base will accept him as 2nd fiddle. I don't think so.
What I see is the base being for some reason unforgiving of McCain's heresies. Much of it of course is McCain's fault . He has been sticking his finger in their eye since 2000 . But reconciliation is needed and if it takes the Huckster being on the ticket to get it done then I'm all for it.
It has happened that way before . Reagan reached out to the big tent Republicans by bringin in GHW Bush (who called Reagan's economic plans "voodoo economics") . Also despite the perception of the Repubican party being this ideological pup tent ;the truth is that since Reagan the standard bearer of the Republicans has been a big tent Repubican who made peace with conservatives and not the other way around.
As for Romney ...... maybe when he discovers who he truely is there will be a future for him . That may sound harsh ,but the truth is that conservatives would've naturally rallied around him without his cheerleading squad egging him on if he was truely a conservative.
I don’t think he will personally make peace until after he is elected and will make the election about the war in Iraq. On the other issues he is closer to the Democrats that the Right.
Maybe he realized that he had a slim chance of winning the last few states and decided that you can only put in so much of your own money before it stops helping.
I think he wanted it the most though, but America wasn't ready for him, and he wasn't ready for us. I really wish he'd of stayed though he was my favorite next to McCaine.
saying that he was withdrawing because America was at war in Iraq and he would rather support McCain as nominee rather than make it easier for the Democratic nominee to win.
