Story here.

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I'm disappointed that Mitt is endorsing McCain, but I'm not surprised. He's got to stick with the establishment to keep his hope alive for 2012 or 2016.

And in more important news, they put a new roof on my apartment building, and they're replacing the carpet in my livingroom, today, due to rain damage from a leaky ceiling. :thumbsup: :cool:

You would rather have him endorse Obama? Jeez... talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. I still don't know why some people would rather vote for a Liberal than a moderate.

Doesn't this pretty much lock up McCains nomination? That's interesting, he can start taking the fight to Dems early while we figure out what the hell we are gonna do.

Pretty much. He had around 800 or so delegates. Romney had about 300. That puts him within an arms' length of the nomination.

If he'd just quit and throw his delegates to McCain, he'd be the nominee. :laugh:

yes, the report i read says he will ask his delegates to support mccain, which will give him about 1100 , so he'll need less than 100 more to officially get what he needs

maybe huck will stay in the cayman islands after he hears aboot this

So your carpet is in support of water-hoarding? :confused:

I'm not assuming, that's why I'm asking (since Pabster is an Obama supporter)

OK so to speculate:

Does this mean we have a running mate now for McCain?

no

mccain will chose someone he likes and that will help him in the G.E.

i highly doubt it will be romney or huckabee

and he'll wait until much later, either after the Dems pick or as close to the convention as possible

Holy shit I hope so. I'm far from a Romney fan, but anything to keep Ghouliani out of public offices of any type. I don't want Ghouliani even serving slop in a government cafeteria!!!

Good news, just a handful more delegates and Huckabee is gone for good - so much for miracles :thumbsup:

people have been commenting that Huck will be the running mate, but I would see mitt being with him before huckabee.

Endorsing McCain now?

What's the point really?

The race is over.

The only interesting thing would be if it made Huck get out sooner. I'm bored hearing about Don Qixote campaign. Put another real news story in it's place.

At this point any endorsement for McCain isn't newsworthy IMO unless it's a Dem.

I read on msnbc a week ago, that George Soros is giving money to Mccain. If he isn't a dem, I don't know who is.

This just in: McCain endorses Obama.

"I just can't run a negative ad against him," McCain said from his campaign headquarters. "It would not only ruin the spirit of my campaign, but it would be bad for the country. Clearly this is a popular guy and I wouldn't want to be the lone roadblock between him and the presidency."
