Well how do ya Romney backers feel about your boy now?
.
Quite pleased. Thanks for asking.
Very disappointed. He should have given them to Paul/sarc
Lying by Huckabee wasn’t a good move?

Mitt did what he could to limit the damage caused by the Huckster already.

Same way as before. Too bad more votes weren’t cast for him.
What, did you expect him to give them to Hillary, like Ann Coulter?
What are we supposed to feel about him. One's a democrat, the other's a bigot. Who cares?
About the same as Id feel if he threw his support behing Huck.
With Cain, Huck and Rom, we were in a lose, lose, lose situation no matter who got the nomination. It was only a matter which single-issue preference you were going for: WOT, Abortion, Economy--or some combination thereof.
All three sucked wind IMHO.
I’m glad since huckashmuck will hopefully go away now

Makes sense in the mission to defeat Hilda-Bama.
Romney isn’t stupid.
Huckster could never dream to beat either one of them.
Let alone McCain.
Susan Estrich: “If the Republicans nominate Huckabee, I’m dancing at the inaugural ball.”
Time to defeat Hilda-Bama. Romney is smart enough to know that is most important thing now.
Hardly a "backer" other than first it was Hunter, then Thompson and then Romney as the choices got thinner and thinner...
But I'm not sure what the expectation was after his withdrawal speech. To hold his delegates and bring some sort of doomed fight to the convention? That would have been disruptive as well as so counter productive that it's not even thinkable.
No, I will take him at his word about winning the war on terror and that electing either of the rats would ensure full blown surrender.
I don't like McCain just like I didn't like Nixon, Ford or Bush but they were so far better than the alternative I held my nose and voted for them just like I'll hold my nose and vote for McCain. He, like Nixon, Ford and Bush, has ideas that are anathema to me but he'll be better to our troops than any rat in the race.
That's life, full of imperfect choices and bad alternatives, but by God I'll never, ever allow our troops to have their legs cut out from underneath them by doing anything that helps a rat to command them.
I hope, and pray, that Romney feels the same way. In that case I feel pretty proud of him.
McCain is a better choice than either of the Dems. Huckabee doesn't have a chance of winning the nomination.
It's time for the Republicans that can stomach it to start rallying around the person that is going to be their candidate regardless of if they want him to be or not.
Of course in my opinion Huckabee is even worse that McCain. Huckabee has too muck of a problem with the truth to really be the social conservative he claims to be, and he's a fiscal liberal and clueless on foreign affairs.
McCain is a horrible choice, Huckabee is even worse.
Huckabee is a buffoon and not qualified for office.... McCain is way out in front and will get the nod one way or another...
Its about like pulling tape off your leg... you can either pull it bit by bit and ouch ouch ouch all the way....
Or you can rip it off and get over with the pain...
Romney sees the sheer stupidity that some people are promoting and hence apparently has chosen the lesser of two evils....he rip the tape off the leg and 'just got it over with'....
Which that is a good thing.

Not bad at all. Had he done this right after South Carolina I would have been pissed, but McCain has the nomination anyway so what is the big deal. Even if Huckster got have state left, he would not have had enough to win.
I think he did the right thing. I also think Huckabee should do the same thing. We need to band together to beat the rats in November, but conservatives are throwing a temper tantrum which will lead to total defeat and set our cause back 20 years.
There comes a time when you have to face reality. Conservative lost this round. It's time to try to save what we can in the house and senate and start planning for the next round.
At least he's not a sore loser. What was he supposed to do with them? I'm disappointed, especially in light of the way McCain (& Huck) treated Romney, but maybe he is hoping for a better day and doing his bit for party unity (or some position).
Won't make me vote for McCain though. I'm not THAT conservative either, just don't like what he compromised on, not that he compromised. I just don't like him. That isn't going to change. I've held my nose too long since Bush the elder. Enough.
And I still don't hate GWB, but I didn't want him in the first place, and wasn't paying attention here then I don't think, at least about that.
I've answered that. And your tone is not very nice.
“Well how do ya Romney backers feel about your boy now?”
First of all, he’s no “boy”. Quite frankly, I feel fine. As much as I have concerns over McCain, he is the better alternative to The Huckster and the other two dems. Having loved ones in the middle east, I will not place their fate into the hands of these 3.
