when Huck only won five states: WVA, Alabama, GA, TN, ARK? I'm not trying to defend Mittens but I would love for him to spend more of his $$ trashing McCain. Yet the media calls Huck's showing a comeback when they are all in his home region where he was expected to do well. I want the GOP race to keep being muddled!!

1. A lot of McCain's states were winner take all. I dont think many of Romney's were.

2. Because most GOP states are winner-take-all.... and McCain is more than
half way to the total he needs.

Romney is toast.

4. Why isn't Huckabee dead, but Mittens is? Huck is running out of southern states.

5. Frankly, it's because Huck and McCain are tag teaming Romney
McCain may give Huck the VP spot for his help in this regard. That scares me more than a little, considering that McCain may die in office given his age. Anyone want President Huck?

6. Huck's DOA too, but he's running for Veep now, not President.
Only way Huck gets back in it is if Romney drops out and endorses him as a way to stick one in McCain's eye.

7. Because Mittens didn't show any wide range support.
It was a given he would win Utah, & Mass. is his home State. It might be diff. if he would have come in a close second in some BIG States, but he was mostly 3rd. He doesn't have the support of the base GOPer, and he doesn't have support from indies either. I look for him to cut his losses and pull out sometime next week.

8. MSM hates Romney
They've consistently declared throughout the race before each contest that the state was a "must win" for Romney to stay in. They've constantly played up expectations for Romney while playing them down for Huckabee. Just because I'm not a Republican doesn't mean I can't recognize bias.

9. McCain won over 600 almost 700 Delegates. Only has to have
about 1050. Just announced McCain 720 Delegates. Romney 270
No way for Romney to catch up.

10. I want Mitwit to stay in too
I love it when these megalomaniacs spend their fortunes on hopeless personal endeavors.

No wonder he wants more tax cuts. I wonder if he can write off his loss on his tax return?

11. I think it is because he didn't win the bible belt. That's the heart of the Rpig
party.

12. McCain has more than twice as many delegates as anyone else, and more than half of what he needs...
for the nomination. Unless something truly bizarre happens, he is the nominee.

13. Mittens is alive. He's ALIVE!!
Had his bolts tightened and he's good for another 20,000 miles.

He could still derail McCain, or inflict serious injury.
