A lot of conservatives on talk radio have been promoting Mitt Romney as their last hope. If we CAPITALIZE on this rather than curling up and dying then this can be good for us. As the old song the gambler goes "Every hands a winner, and every hands a loser". Personally I wish Huckabee had dropped out instead so that the pro lifers had no where else to go. This is what we need to do. We need to hammer Mike Huckabee and John McCain the next few days on talk radio like there's no tomorrow. Plus we need to point out what a DISASTER the war on terror is being. We can't let John McCain continue to "surge" based on the "surge". Point out that Al Qaeda has a virtual safe haven in Pakistan and John McCain has no plan to do anything about this. Point out Ron Paul's plan for Letters of Marque and reprisal. Take no prisoners. Every change is both a threat and an opportunity. Quit basing the campaign on what OTHER people do and focus on what YOU have to do.

This is an interesting development.
Romney will surely not endorse Ron Paul. He wants to set himself up for a future in the Party. (By in the party, I mean with the establishment.) The Party is coalescing around McCain. Romney will play nice and set himself up for 2012 if McCain loses. His statement on being in a "time of war" is a clear indication he's stepping aside and letting McCain take the helm.
Be ready for McCain-Huckabee. It's going to happen. Paul needs to leave the GOP and run 3rd Party now.

nice to see all the new members
But, like somebody else pointed out, Romney does not control his delegates. They control themselves if it goes to a second ballot, which it will.
Sounds to me like Romney is going to throw his support behind McCain and even if he doesn't I don't think we're headed to a brokered convention anymore. With Romney out, I think most people who don't like McCain will accept the inevitable and not vote. Bummer.
Ok, let's get one thing straight, they all despise Dr. Paul. None of them will 1) endorse RP, 2) be a VP for RP 3) do anything that might remotely help him. As much as Romney personally might loathe Mcwar (and thats debateable) he loathes RP even more. He may not come out and say he endorses mr 100 year war, but make no mistake, his votes will go to huck or mccain, not RP. Huck will petition, privatley at least, to be the VP and if mccains staff are competent they will accept. People will see it as mccains hot headedness tempered by the pious huckster. The one thing we have in our favor is a somewhat lukewarm reception mccain will get from a great many in the GOP. As far as the general election goes, don't count on getting any demorats (yes i know the "c" is missing) to jump ship in significant numbers as they tow the party line even better than the repugnicats. The ones that do were'nt demos to start with. Bottom line, and it pains me to say it, is third party may be the best option to not only get the presidency but if that is not possible then to make some serious change in the system.

They are already calling McCain the winner now.
I don't think they will rally around paul as a conservative because he's against the war. Plain and simple, they want to WIN the war, not end the war. They hate bush because he fucked up, not because he's a war criminal.
I don't see any way to win this.
McCain has an easy sweep because the Hucker can't win anymore states.
And super tuesday has already told us one thing: Talk show "conservatives" have no real power in this party anymore.
The right wing is dead.

He cannot do this. His delegates will decide for themselves.
CNN just called Mccain the putative nominee of his party.
We'll see about that!

Possibly. I don't want to get my hopes up about anything, and I can honestly say I didn't see this coming so soon. However, my father and I did exit polling at our precinct on Tuesday and many people who voted for Romney said they did so because they didn't at all like McCain. It will be interesting to see what Huckabee does now. If Huck isn't trying to help McCain then he'll stay in the race for sure. If speculations are correct and he IS trying to help McCain or secure the VP position, he'll probably be gone soon too and Paul will truly be the Conservative choice. But this race has been so unpredictable that I really don't want to get my hopes up.
Boy, Sean Hannity must be crying right now.

I just dropped in on the Mitt Romney Forum and invited them to reconsider RP since the field is empty of conservatives except for him. After I got done posting, to my surprise, I found that another RP supporter had beaten me to it, although much more briefly than me. Be sure to welcome the new-comers WHEN they come!!
MCCAIN IS SOOOOOOOO BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!

His delegates will not go for RP.
Oh yeah, because calling their candidate a traitor is going to help persuade them to adopt ours.
