Those Crazy Conservatives

In an effort to unitify (that's Bush speak) the Republicans, Romney has combed his hair for the cameras for the last time. I'm kind of sad. Now I'll have to shelve all of my hairspray jokes. Dammit. I was actually planning on voting for him because he gave me soooooo much material. OK, not really. But, damn, I'm bummed. But, damn, this is interesting.

Why? Well, it could very well be a manipulation by Romney over Huckleberry … I mean Huckabee. Why can't I get his frickin' name right? Anyhoo, with Romney dropping out of the race, he is now urging Conservatives to unify behind a leading candidate, and that candidate would be McCainaraynah…. hey, McCainaraynah. To me, this appears as a direct slap in the face of staunch Republicans. Maybe Romney ain't so bad after all. Nah, he's a politician … he's bad.

So, I'm bummed because this means it's McCain vs. Huckleberry. With the Republican race in the state that it's in, it could become smooth sailing for McCain, or it could become a mangled mess. Huckleberry has the ability to truly undermine McCain's Republican "conservativeness," (is that a word?) by going on an all out attack on old Johnny boy. This, in turn, would sway all those middle-of-the-roaders to turn left. As a result, that would put the ball in the Democrat court, which would put mud on Huckleberry's face. Scary, I tell you, because our ONLY choices would be Democrat or Democrat Light.

Or, worse yet, Huckleberry could become a contender. Holy Crap is all I can say to that!

Or, weirder yet, Huckleberry drops out, so that the Republican race boils down to Conservative McCain vs. Liberal McCain. Ooooh, now THAT would be interesting.
