Romney drops.....soooooooo

Romney's out. Surprising that it's now, but inevitable for it to happen given Super Tuesday.

McCain-Romney would be an odd couple, similar to Obama-Clinton, but....when you look at the national election, and electability, Romney and McCain represent two sides of the republican party, with a join ticket potential to bring in the most votes against the Dem's.

McCain-Huckabee......Huckabee doesn't bring in the east coast or midwest votes that Romney does. Doesn't seem like too much of a benefit.

McCain-Guiliani is my vote, since it gives McCain that east coast appeal Guiliani never got to demonstrate since he gambled his campaign on Florida (not the topic for discussion).

McCain-Thompson.......nah.

vote.

I feel Giuliani is the lead choice in McCain's eyes, but I would prefer to see Huckabee. Either way I am glad Romney is out, and probably won't get the VP nod either.

McCainey and Huckey

I really foresee McCain-Huckabee as a more likely scenario, but we'll have to see. McCain might try to cash in on Huckabee's popularity.

We are all family here. Spill it.

That's a knowing smile.

I agree McCain/Guilianni makes the most sense.

McCain/Romney - Least likely it seems given the bitterness between the two, but more so really that Romney will probably want to run again in 2012.

McCain/Huckabee - Somewhat likelier. These two didn't go at it very hard and have a decent relationship. If McCain feels he is really missing out on the far right (evangelical) votes he will want to pick Huckabee up.

McCain/Gulliani - Most likely. The two are very good friends and have very similar values. Gulliani was the first major endorsement for McCain and could play a powerful role against an Obama campaign.

Can't Imagine Huckabee staying in much longer.
