Huckabee Drops Out; McCain Becomes Republican Nominee
McCain, 71, gained the 1,191 delegates needed to claim the Republican nomination with a series of primary victories, completing a remarkable comeback that began in the snows of New Hampshire six weeks ago. President Bush invited him to the White House for a show of support on Wednesday.
Congrats to McCain. He is far from being the ideal nominee…in fact he is quite liberal. Conservatives will keep a close eye on him. With that said, I’ll feel safer with him than any of the Democrats.
Huckabee gave his concession speech stating that he knows he lost. I’m not sure why he hung in for so long, except that maybe he was building up momentum for the future, or maybe for the VP slot. I think McCain has already made up his mind who will get the VP slot and it won’t be Huckabee.
Who do you think his VP will be? Huckabee? Charlie Crist? Mitt Romney? Fred Thompson? Haley Barbour? Sarah Palin? Mark Sanford? Tim Pawlenty? JC Watts? Phil Gramm? Mike Pence? Jim DeMint? Or will he cross the aisle and pick Lieberman?

I would love to see Gov. Sarah Palin on the national scene. But, I don’t believe McStain would pick her. She is VERY Libertarian. She’d piss me off way to many “conservatives”. You think McStain makes these peoples heads explode. Sarah would be the death nail.This also goes for Gov. Mark Sanford. He’s the same way.
I believe, it’s either of the three people. Thompson,Romeny, or Newt. All three provlaim to be conservatives, but they are as Statists as McStain is. Atleast that’s my point of view.
Thanks for allowing us to comment.
