Mittens to suspend campaign - BREAKING

[MoonRiver]

So it's to be McCain. :(

[Maat]

1. Yucky (n/t)!

[Blue_State_Elitist]

2. Let's hope for a Huckabee miracle.

[MoonRiver]

5. How about we start a DU prayer group for old Huck?

:D

[Coexist]

7. gravity is the big loser today.

[rateyes]

11. That may very well happen.

I think that the vast majority of Romney voters would have Huckabee as their second choice. Too bad, though, that Huckabee attacked Romney with some mean-spirited barbs. The Republican wing of the Republican Party can't stand McCain, and the so-called "values voters" aren't going to join McCain, that's for sure.

[H2O Man]

3. 3 Sources

have told CNN he will "suspend" it today. His speech will be on soon.

[opihimoimoi]

26. Mittens will try again in 2012.....he gonna let McBlame take some hits and lose

and the Blues guys will win this year.

He is hoping the Dem Prez fails to clean up the act in 4 years so the Pub Party can blame them for the lack of success.

There is good odds Mittens will return to the fray in 4...

[H2O Man]

29. Right.

If McCain wins, Mitt gets something like RNC Chair; if he loses, Mitt has shown a loyalty to the cause that will put him in a front-runner's position.

[Barack_America]

4. Yep. Now it's about Independents.

Whoever attracts them, wins.

They love McCain and Obama.

They have not supported Hillary in the primaries thus far.

I think that makes it pretty obvious who our nominee should be.

[sellitman]

20. Exactly!

For that reason alone I voted Obama on Tuesday. The need to win was the deal breaker.

[underpants]

It's been McCain for about two months

No one told Mitt

[MoonRiver]

9. Until Super Duper Tuesday I still held out a little hope. eom

[underpants]

15. Eh

McCain is their best shot. But they don't have much of a shot anyway.

Not counting chickens but the numbers Dems are pulling (Obama is winning the white male vote Dem yes but still) means everyone is sick of all this BS. McCain is so inside DC he needs a lobbyist to wipe.

[Hoof Hearted]

6. BYE BYE ASSHOLE.

this is a good day.

[DS1]

8. waahoo

Sorry, I know it would be better to run against him, but that Reagan-slurping bastard really needed to GTFO

[snooper2]

10. I think Mitt had a better chance in the General than McCain

McCain has some huge hurdles with the nazi wing of the Repuke party...

[grantcart]

16. most evangelicals simply will not vote for a mormon

[DefenseLawyer]

23. They will fall in line

they always do. Once he has the nomination the nazi wing ceases to be that important anyway. They are a large block among primary voters in some key states but they are a small fraction of general election voters, particularly in the big electoral states.

[snooper2]

38. RW radio I listen to every day...

Callers are talking about writing in Ron Paul ....This should be a cakewalk for Obama, should also be for Hillary. She has ALL of Faux news against her and repukes at my work so may be a little more rough for her. Obama can get many swing voters for sure...

[DefenseLawyer]

40. Oh there will be plenty of talk

plenty of bluster. Then they will fall in line. At the end of the day, Republicans are nothing if not obedient. Especially if they can rationalize it by saying they are not voting for McCain but against Clinton.

[faithfulcitizen]

37. me too. This is a good day for us.

[grantcart]

12. Still nothing on FOX lol they must be waiting to get their spin memo

before reporting the actual news

[MoonRiver]

18. You mean I scooped FAUX Noise?

:wow:

[grantcart]

32. I thought I was listening to FAUX on the TV in the other room - turned out to be MSNBC

[MoonRiver]

41. Same thing. n/t

[CountAllVotes]

13. buh bye Mitt

I guess Mitt couldn't keep up - cost = $1.2 million a day to keep his joke of a campaign (that never had a chance to begin with) going.

:dem:

[KittyWampus]

14. Josh Marshall will be devastated.

[blogslut]

17. Well, they all bite

I'm not worried about a damned one of them old white men on the other side.

[GoldieAZ49]

19. McCain will start the GE campaign TODAY

while the Dems divide themselves between a candidate that will polarize the nation and one that will unite it.

Unbelievable!!!!!

[Vilis Veritas]

24. Bing F'ing O....

[whatchamacallit]

21. Suspend? Like some kind of levitation trick? n/t

[Vilis Veritas]

22. It has always been McCain as suck-sessor to the BFEE crown.

Remember?



This is all GMC fluff to make it appear as if there is a real PROCESS of SELECTION left for the PEOPLE.

[RepublicanElephant]

25. CRAP! now mccain can focus ALL his money and energy on the dems!

crap, crap, crap!

[MoonRiver]

27. And the one he focuses the most attention on is the one he wants to LOSE our primary.

In other words, he will use kid gloves against the one he WANTS to run against, and viciously attack the one he FEARS.

Look for the pattern.

[opihimoimoi]

30. Theyt been doing it for months now....support Obama and denigrate Hillary

The Pattern is clear for all to see...if they look for it....

and, I strongly suspect Obama getting Pub Monies to fund his campaign. Them Pubs will do anything to win, even gamble a little to up Obamas odds so they can better deal with him in the General...

[DefenseLawyer]

39. I disagree with your analysis

they aren't denigrating Mrs. Clinton because they fear her, they are doing so because she is red meat to an otherwise disenchanted right wing base. If you honestly believe that Republicans don't want to run against Clinton I would love to visit your planet because I have obviously never been there.

[opihimoimoi]

28. McBlame and consultants still don't get it...never will...they will lose their asses.

The Master Pubs can only wish and hope...work to mess up the Dem side of things with nefarious interference...but in the end...will lose..

In a way...McBlame is being thrown under the bus by the Pubs...They care not for him but want the White House...evil bastids...

[grantcart]

31. Well it seems self financing may have some problems after all

[backscatter712]

33. He didn't stand much of a chance.

Romney's so robotic he couldn't even pass a Turing test.

[tishaLA]

34. Has anyone seen the pic of Mittins on the CSPAN site?

he looks nuttier than usual.

[Vinca]

35. Mittens really was the pick of the litter on that side.

I can't imagine choosing between John "My Friends" McCain and Flat Earth Mike.

[Thrill]

36. I actually thought Mittens was a tougher challenge than McCain

Because of how nasty of a campaign he would of run.
