I think HUckabee had the southern states already. The South usually votes South.
I agree!!! If he does, he has no choice. He is trying to prevent the party from being destroyed.Quote:

Everyone will have their own opinions regarding this. I do not agree with you. I will not support or vote for Paul. Many people feel the same way. However, obviously everyone is free to do what they want.Quote:

Politics do leave some hard feelings. I am finding that out. But Paul never had any alliance with Romney. It isn't fair to say that Paul sold him out.Quote:

They were willing to negotiate - the Romney people chose not to.
I am either not going to vote, or I am going to write in Romney.
Are you sure about that? That doesn't make sense because Romney would have won if he had made a deal with RP's caucus goers. If you have a source, that might simmer down the tensions....Quote:

My Dad lived in Michigan when Romney's Dad was governor and he told me that Romney Senior's religion only became an issue (in many of the states Huckster won on Super Tuesday) after Romney's Dad decided to run for president.Quote:

This discussion reminds me of a Robin Williams joke: He was pulled over in the Deep South and the first thing the cop said was "Hmm, BMW. You jewish?". :lol:
Here's a delegate telling exactly how it went down. Note that the Paul campaign had nothing to do with it. The delegates themselves decided it.

(Huck never mentioned it in the media, and there's a distinct chance the Paul supporters could get screwed in the deal. That's the context of the conversation.)
