So - who gets his delegates?
Let me guess, when you like the guy and he changes position, that’s a “seeing the light.” When you don’t like the guy and he changes position that’s a “flip-flop.”
Apparently, the answer is "NO".
I don’t think that will be possible in just four years - I knew it was all over for Romney when Catholics started sending me all these emails telling me not to support Mormons in politics, since so many of their converts were former Catholics.
It’s gonna be fascinating to watch Huck explain why he still has nothing bad to say about Johnny Mac.
No, flip flopping is when you change your mind to whatever the polls say at the current time, or whatever the audience wants to hear. Hillary comes to mind
So when Mitt was running for elected office in liberal Massachusetts he was anti-Reagan, anti-life, anti-conservative. But when he was running for the nomination of the Republican Party he saw the light and became pro-life, pro-Reagan and pro-conservative.
Boy, Mitt sure had lucky timing to see the light right before he ran for the nomination.
He is not walking the walk as a Christan. I know fine Christan men and Mike Huckabee is nothing like them
I am all for screaming to the high heavens until they hear us to get our choice of candidate(conservative)and vote back.
Huh?
Mike Huckabee is the only honest man left in the election.
Somebody needs to explain to me how a dead, buried and broke John McCain came to be the presumptive nominee.
Something stinks really, really bad.
ROFL
He would have to win 85% of the delegates left to be awarded.

To win. He needs about 50% to keep McCain from getting the nomination and throwing this to the convention.

RINO Romney’s money pushed everyone else out of the race.
I’ll try it again, Mitt was saying anything the liberals wanted to hear to win in Massachusetts and when he decided to run for the Republican Nomination he was saying anything the conservatives wanted to hear.
They never apologized for the meme that Thompson was going to drop out after IA/NH and endorse McCain. They also never apologized for the Thompson-as-stalking-horse conspiracy, even though polls from after he dropped out showed that Thompson had actually been keeping a lot of votes from McCain).
Just like the leftists, they never stop to reconcile their wild accusations with actual events...they just move on to the next conspiracy.
That's what Romney should do. I don't currently trust him at all, but I am open to changing my mind if I see actual proof via action over time. If he ran for the Senate and won (thus doing us all a service by knocking out Kennedy or Kerry), then hewed consistently to conservative principles for six years, I would gladly admit I was wrong about him.
I don't think that's what he's planning, though. He dropped out because he ran the numbers and saw that he couldn't win...so he exited in a way that would pave the road to 2012 for him.
