Huckabee will probably drop out next, but he'd make a good vp for Mccain's ticket.

Thompson, Huckabee and Guiliani could all end up endorsing Mccain.  All to stop Romney.

Strange.

Paul has maybe a 1/10 shot of winning the nomination now (up from say 1/20 about two weeks ago, but no where near likely).

He's going to do (fairly) well in Maine, Montana, and Colorado.  Probably Texas too if he keeps on keeping on.

Doing well in Colorado would definitely mean his voice would be heard - its a socially conservative state with few Mormons for the west, and a distate for the federal government's size.  But its also a pretty big state.  Probably more likely than not that Paul can get 200-300 delegates - which is more than enough to swing a close battle between Romney and Mccain - and thats more than any other remaining candidate can say since they have already chosen sides.

He didn't even really try....we have heard almost nothing out of him for the past few weeks.

Argh. The list of Republican candidates ain't so good. McCain will probably get nominated, and he's sort of for big(ger) governemnt, which I'm not for. _{As long as he's not a socialist, though...}

Looks like it's going to be another "which candidate do I dislike the least?" election for me.

Another thing - I don't see how people thought Ron Paul had much of a chance. He's really big on the internet among a certain age group, but not much else. (atleast, not enough to be a serious candidate for the gop nomination)

We should bring Reagan back to life.  I'd vote for a zombie Reagan.

The problem with the tortoise and the hare argument for me was that Giuliani was the tortoise. All the other candiates were having successes in the primaries and he just kept his head down slowly, methodically campaigning in Florida. And when it came time for the Primary, the speed the hares had built up allowed them to fly past that stupid, stupid turtle.

 Not really Hillary needs almost 2000 delegates on super tuesday to win, Obama is going to pull off at least 35-40% of Delegates that day, meaning Hillary walks away with a max of 1300 delegates, putting her about 500 Delegates short of winning the nomination and if Obama wins a bunch of the smaller states, Hillary will be in trouble

I hope Obama wins.

Fuck Guilliani, he reminds me of exactly how Bush was before he got into office, more USA down the toilet if he got in.

I laughed so hard at that  =D

back to the topic ... I never really liked "Rudy", but come on ... first .. he ignored all the people from the early states and now he just retires without even trying to fight ... that's just sad.

Q: "Mr. Giuliani, what is your position on [issue]?"

A: "Well, Mr. Moderator, when I was mayor of New York during 9/11... blah blah blah 9/11... blah blah terrorist attacks... 9/11 yadda yadda blowing up buildings... and so that's why I'd make a good president. Also, 9/11."

Glad to see this stooge drop out of the race.

Pretty weird that all candidates in the USA are spending millions of dollars with a recession about to hit. Those members give us in Europe a vibe that says... we will keep spending pointlessly anyway.

I noticed those senators like Mccain mention that they were campaining all day, every day. Fair enough, but shouldn't they be running some state 24/7 like they promised in their previous campaign to become senator?

Good. I don't really care for any of the Republicans, but he was so slimey.

I am betting that McCain gets the nomination. However, I will be voting for Hillary/Obama in November. :)
