Default McCain has doubled up Romney in early CA returns

that's not a good sign for Romney.

I really detest John McCain. I can't see how I could ever vote for him in November, so it looks like I might be sitting this one out.

If he chooses Huckabee as his #2, I may actually campaign against him.

It's not the end of the world. If the country survived Jimmy Carter, it can survive Hillary, or that other guy with no resume.

Help me understand this mindset, Tex. It baffles me. Do you honestly believe that Clinton or Obama would be preferable to McCain?

You'll get over it Tex. He's a million times better than the alternative.

He won't pick him. He won't dare to. He's too close to the grave and Evengelicals are a fairly small part of the national electorate. Americans won't support Huckabee being one 71 year-old heartbeat from the oval office.

McCain-Giuliani, that's my dream ticket.
