Romney dropped out at the Wacko PAC-o today. I was a bit surprised. It could put some wind behind Huckleberry. It's doubtful that he could block McCain's nomination, but the far right really hate him.

Even if I were to agree with you, which I don't, and even if the substance they took "to recover from injury" did not also improve their performance, which those substances tend to do, you are still extending them the benefit of the doubt as to their stated motive for taking the stuff. People are inherently dishonest especially when large sums of money and/or legacies are concerned, at least from what I have seen. So I guess we'll have to agree to disagree -g-

A lot of folks are calling for a Huckabee win in Virginia. Without Romney sucking away far right wing votes, Huckabee may have some chance. Assuming he doesn't drop out first. Huck has also claimed he doesn't want to be Veep. Given McCain's age and the demands of the office, especially trying to clean up the Bush mess, that could be a mistake. My guess is that McCain chooses somebody like Duncan Hunter, who has credibility on the immigration issue with the GOP. Speaking of Veeps, my best guess is, should Hillary win the nomination, she selects Harold Ford. That repairs the damage done by her spats with Obama and Ford has the good misfortune to have been a victim of a GOP slime attack in his last race. His presence on the ticket would allow all Democrats to remember who the real enemy is. Of course, in racist, misogynist America, that would be a radical move.
