((( (LAMONT ))))) – BAND TOGETHER BEHIND MCCAIN ????
He calls flip flopping " REACHING ACROSS PARTY LINES". HIS FIRST WIFE WOULD CALL IT ADULTRY ! !

Oh Huckabee don't you know that republicans are like scorned dogs, they never forget a slap on the head. As long as Huckabee continues to campaign against McCain and split the Republican vote the better chances a democrat has of winning in November. If Huckabee plans on a future run at the presidency he is screwed because those same scorned republicans will blame him for McCain’s loss this November.

McCain and the Mormons in collusion. Trying to leave the Evangelical Protestants out in the cold. Shame. The Party is dead.

The Republican party are likened to lemmings. They will blindly follow anyone and anything despite the consequences. God forbid the devil himself was running. But like lemmings who follow each other into the sea to drown, so will the Republicans if they rally around John "insane" McCain.

I can't believe that the Republicans can keep a straight face through all this. No matter which Republican candidate wins, we're just going to get round 3 (or is it 4?) of the same old warmongering Republican non-sense that even regular voting Republicans are fed up with. The June 22, 2005 Poll showed more than 50% of Americans opposed the war, and polls in 2006, 2007 and now in 2008 are showing between 60-70% opposition to the war. Beyond that, we're all living in 2008 and they are still trying to discriminate against Gays and Latinos. What's going on here?!

I would like to encourage all the Romney delegates to go with Huckabee. That would put him back in the realm of possibility for winning the nomination. How ’bout it Romney Delegates? Mike and Mitt are much more alike than Mitt and John. I think a Mike/Mitt ticket could beat a Clinton or Obama ticket. McCain is not likely to win because he is too close to being a dem himself. McCain won’t get my vote. If Obama or Clinton win, at least we know up front where they stand on the issues. It is easier to fight a target that you can easily identify than someone who misrepresents himself (like McCain). But I would vote for a Huckabee/Romney ticket and I think many others would also. Romney delegates can make it happen!

Who cares!

Hurry up and end this stupid Republican race it's pointless now, I don't see why anyone is making a big deal over it anymore. The Democratic race is much more interesting and dynamic, not built on phony endorsements. Sooner the Repubs finish primaries the sooner the media will leave them in the dark while Dems take the spot light for 4 more months. McCainiacs beware building a boring campaign based on useless endorsements and a very unenthusiatic candidate will be the biggest turn off of all. McCains strong Bush connections will seal the deal and put Republicans back in the dark ages.

As a lifetime Libertarian, I had to change to Republican to vote for Paul in the primaries. Since he is being completely ignored, & there is a snow ball in hell chance he will get the nomination, there is no way in hell I can vote for McCain. And there is an even bigger NO CHANCE IN HELL that I will vote for the 2 Socialists trying to outspend each other on bogus, unconstitutional schemes, so who the F can I vote for? The Constitutionalist party?

So typical of politicians – I'll promise the voters anything to get elected and when they reject me, I'll show my true colors.

Thank God there is still one statesman running instead of all these lying politicians. GO RON PAUL. By the way, to all you Romney delegates out there if you want to cast your ballot for a true conservative who believes in the Constitution, come over to our side. Dr. Paul is in the race all the way!

My first choice for the next president of the United States of America is Hillary, McCainne is my second choice and lastly Barack Husseine Obama.Why? Because Obama have the least experience to be the next prisedent, and that is what we don't need rightnow.Maybe if he stay in the senate for another 8 or 12 more yrs then I would have reconsider him.

Hiho Sir, Hasta la Vista ! The Mormons are acting like Mid-Wives in lieu of Multiple choices, like in partners!

One thing Republicans are good at doing is banning together in time for the general election. Democrats, you have been warned.

Who cares Willard Mitt Romney endorses mccain??

I wished mr corporation would have spent all 250 million he is worth on his campaign and would be broke.

It's about time! McCain is the best candidate for this job! He will bring America to the right spot! Romney has made a right decision (finally)! McCain is our only chance to beat the Democrats...don't waste your vote....

McCain 2008!

I as a Republican I must vote OBAMA in November
Can't stand McCain and now Romney after this.

Time For Huckaboom to say bye bye

I am a Indepent, I support John McCain and when you start to look at Obam's Record( Oh Where is it ). If you really study the people you are voting for you might vote differently... Also, wait untel Hill or Barack get the Nomination they hate each other, but they will be a team... So, I salute Mitt Romney and if John McCain loses this year which I Pray for the USA that he don't Romney will be on top in 2012 if we are still here when those self serving, tax increasing, white flag waving, late term abortion lovers, and they hate the death penalty but support killing babies... GO FIGURE

is this what you want in the white house? a tired and yawning president? doesn´t it remind you of bush father looking at his watch at the debate wit Mr. Clinton?

Presidential material? not in a million years.....wake up voters of the U.S.

Great. now McCain just has to pick a guy (or gal if he thinks the "true conservatives" can stomach it) to lose with in November!!

FYI: Nobody wants to "surrender" to "terror". What the hell does that mean anyway?

No more party favors here. I will not vote for Pary vs my country. Did it for 8 years...no more...Republican are starting to look and sound dumb....This just turned me to an Obamacan!!!!

You libs are ridiculous. This endorsement means McCain, who will be the nominee anyway, gets his delegates. This just expedites the nomination process.

Who else should he endorse? Obama?

How about you guys rename the headline.

TEXAN REPUBLICANS CAN NOW VOTE AGAINST CLINTON

This is what this really about.

How can Romney endorse McCain after McCain ripped him a part during the campaign. What are we all stupid and don't remember. That tells you about what Romney is all about. Thank god he did not get the nomination. I have lost all respect for him as a politican.

So, how do we feel about a McCain-Romney ticket? Romney is young enough to use a VP term to get ready to run for the presidency in '12. McCain is over 70, and he might not live out his first or second term. Or might not feel like running for a second term.

Luckily Huckabee is in the Caribbean so we won't have to hear him complain about this endorsement.

Why do folks keep saying Mitt in 2012?

If McCain wins – I doubt he is a one term President.

Why? Does he realize how stupid this is? The best thing the Republican Party has going for it right now is Mike Huckabee.

We were outvoted 2 to 1 on Super Tuesday yet the best we are going to put forth is a 70 year old, geriatric old man to do combat against either a woman or a young black man?

I get the impression that if Mitt throws his support behind McCain its because he expects McCain to lose and lose big to either Hillary or Obama, and then he, Romney, can be the candidate in 2012 after the Democrats make a mess.

It's sad and terribly unfair that the states remaining which have not had their primaries are so limited in their choices. I agree with Rep. Murtha of PA that ALL primaries should be held on the same day. Right now, since both Clinton and Obama supported the Bush-Kenedy amnesty bill for illegals (which McCain co-authored), there's no choice at all. All concerned citizens will have to continue to speak out against the amnesty (in any version) for at least another 4 years. Can't the Republican and Democratic Parties recruit the best of the best for this office?? One would think that after 8 years with a moron in office, everyone would be selecting someone better than the current field of candidates.

Romney smelled the coffee...Obama/Clinton fans – Change your diapers, its going to be a bumpy ride!!

If you can't beat em, join them!!! Maybe Romney just wants to wipe out Huckabee now than later!!! Romney is a joke.

Now it has become clear that Romney and his gang of radio talkshow supporters ran a campaign of deception. These guys are traitors saying a vote for Huckabee was a vote for McCain. Now we ssee cearly where Romney stands with the principles. When you bring ant infested fargots into your house, donot complain when you are visited by lizards! Huckabee is the right person he has connected so well with the base I know he won't win this thing because a cockroach can not win a case in a court of fowls. If McCain is the guy, I am switching to Obama.

Maybe the next secretary of Commerce? Put that business experience to use for the benefit of the country!

Ron Paul’s military contributions are greater than those of all other current candidates – John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama –combined.

His message of a strong national defense, and only going to war with a declaration of war – as mandated by the Constitution – resonates with those who risk their lives to defend that Constitution.

Somebody looking for a cabinet postion? With his business experience maybe the dept of Commerce? Wouldn't be a bad move!

It is very important to note that Romney's 286 delegates are not bound to McCain. If they, like so many Republicans, don't like McCain, they can vote for whomever they want to at the convention. Because of this, it is foolish to include them in McCain's delegate total.

I'll like to see McCain, win the General Election Nominee. "However", he dose not have the power to win over Obama. If Karl Rove, or Ralph Nader, dose not step in and support McCain, Obama, will have a field day.

My reaction to this news was much the same as the one McCain shows in the picture.

This changes nothing.
McCain still has to win himself the delegates he need to reach 1191.
The Romney delegates will be important at the Republican Convention, if case.

Obama '08

Is this sour grapes on Romney's part? Little ole' Huckabee ran Romney off and now Mitt wants the delegates to go to McCain. Hmmm.....

Wonder how much the GOP pressured him to.

What a man of convictions. Couldn't stand McCain for being to liberal but now he endorses him. Typical politican. Probably getting the VP. I hope your delegates ignore you and go to Huckabee instead of the liberal McCain.

Oh for the love of Pete...

Maybe, I am being too cynical here, but Romneys " I am doing this -supporting McCain, for party unity rings hollow to me. Given how nasty the campaign went, I see this as a method to not only force McCain to put him on the VP LIST BUT ALSO send a IN YOUR FACE MESSAGE TO the HUCKSTER, thereby not only making his delegate count USELESS, BUT ALSO SPEEDING HIS EXIT FROM THE RACE. I guess I have been around Bill Sneider (sp?) too long and am always looking at the story behind the story.

Absolutely ludacris!

What a bunch of hippocrates.

McCaine: "the only thing governor Romney has been consistent on has been flip flopping on every issue!"

Oh, but sure I'll accept his edorsement.

This is dirty politics at its best! and precisely the reason the Republicans just can't be trusted!

Two things seem self-evident from this: first, Romney wants to run as VP and has done a deal to help secure McCain end the race now, as should McCain lose in NOvember, he will then be in poll position for 2012; second, Huckabee shot himself in the foot by attacking Romney so vigorously and wrapping the conservative mantle about himself – this is calculated revenge.

Now you start to realize the GOP campaign is pretty successful huh! Howard, Howard.... you messed up this whole deal, trying to create an energy for Obama that is not sustainable, because you eliminate Florida and Michigan. Nice plan initially, but you all didn't realize that GOP candidates are all extremely experienced! Even Ron Paul has so much more experiences! Does that ring a bell in most of you?

These Gop scum would stop at nothing to get Bush part 3 into the White House. These 2 hate each other but hey, when you something in common like scare tactics (911, 911, 911...) I say happy Valentine's Day to these 2 scummy peas in a bubble.

Romney's endorsement of McCain comes as no surprise. It won't make a difference because both Democrats are winning hands-down the "popular" vote at this juncture. What he could do is give a big fat contribution to Huckabee. It might help to keep the conservative dream alive; but doubtful.

Well, that's the definite end of the Huckabee campaign. I really thought that if conservatives had a chance in snowball's hell, it would be when Romney endorses Huckabee.

At least on the Democratic side, it's a fight for ideals. On the Republican side, its a fight for Party.

This shows Romney's true colors!....After all the that has happened...McCain lying in Florida, the backroom deal with Huckabee and McCain in West Virgina....Romney was never in it for himself! He is a true Christian!!!!!!

One thing I have to give the Republicans – they support each other.

I am not sure why John Edwards plays 'so hard to get' but it is very disappointing to see this man I respected to waiver from one candidate to the other, afraid to side with Obama because he is not sure if Obama will get the nomination.

I thought he would stand with Barack Obama even if he had no chance to get the nomination. To side with Billary is in his case political prostitution.

In my opinion he should show a little more backbone and authenticity. If he is not supporting Barack Obama before the weekend he may as well never count on my support again.

I guess 'fighting for the poor' was more a slogan than a conviction.

I am very disappointed in John Edwards ... even more when I see that Romney has the guts to endorse McCain for the greater 'good'

WORD PRESS: I keep filing this, but it do not appear !

These are good news for the GOP.

Now, McCain should stop wooing
the extremist Ultras in the party, as they are only a few and any peception that he will be restrained by this people will lead to the loss of a much larger figure of moderate and independent votes.

Also, as with this endorsement McCain practically has reached the
necessiray votes for the nomination, which was the condition stated
by Huckabee to cease his campaign, he should do so and endorse
the latter.

Finally: If Paul wishes not to help the Dems by still diverting some additional GOP money and efforts to the internal process, he shall withdraw,
if he wish to reinforce his already made points by not endorsing endorse McCain is up to him

TOM

Wow Romney! Way to stand up for what you believe. I just wish you would have done this 2 months ago so I didnt waste my vote on you. Dont even think about running in 2012...you're done.

This makes Romney look like even more of a flip-flopping, say whatever to be president politician.

I mean c'mon Mitt! You just got finished talking about how different you and John McCain are when it comes to conservative values (although you certainly changed your views on abortion to suit your presidential run), and now you endorse him when your new persona more closely mirrors Huckabee.

Just plain ridiculous!

It is now officially time for all Republicans and all Conservatives, as well as Independents and Democrats and everyone for that matter, to get behind John McCain and work on progressing this country forward in the right direction. Thank you Mitt Romney!

All that I am saying.. is that if Huckbee is out.. The Republican RACE will DIE.. Trust Me. The race will die. and never to existent in the media. ............. I wish they would just face it. THE party is dead

Why me comments are not appearing on the blog ????????????

TOM

Romney just wants to be the savior so he can get elected in 2012 as the guy who clinched McCain's nomination. Not to mention how mad he is that Huckabee took many of what he perceives "his" votes. We say he took Huck's votes. We want a debate Huckabee/McCain. If the party is strong it can take it. At least the people will be able to hear Huck's message & that' good, healthy, competition. Let the people make their choices with good, fair reporting. Huckabee is the most eloquent speaker, without the theatrics, that I've seen. He relates to Americans and has new ideas. Bring it on! Your ratings will go up.

Bring on the complaining, Huckabigot supporters. What would you like Mitt to do? Sit around and do nothing so Huckabigot can drag this on some more for a few more accolades?

Would Mitt endorse the candidate that is losing? No. He is, however, showing dignity by putting the party first and moving this primary along so we can focus on beating the democrats!

Thank you Mitt. I don't care who gets the VP spot. I just want to see the GOP show respect and humility when the time calls for it.

Books will be written on "how the democrats lost a sure thing". Take a look at the democratic bloggers. They spend 90% of there time bashing either Clinton or Obama. No way will they come together after the nomination process like the Republicans are doing. Neither Clinton not Obama will benefit from all the back biting when the general election comes. The Republicans have better qualified candidates and they are very smart. How stupid for the DNC to strip the deligates from Michigan and Florida!

I will vote Republican (McCain) for the first time in my 48 years as a registered democrat.

Does that mean he is flip flopping on Illegal immigration reform again? So much for standing up for your beliefs.

I wonder how crazy the Obama comments will get on this one.

This is why the left always loses. The right understands unity, the right knows how to consolidate, the right knows how to band together and win.

And us liberals will do nothing but fight with each other. Can you picture Edwards doing something like this? No wonder we lose, time after time, citing our principles that prevent us from uniting with those we don't always agree with. Well, there's principles, and then there's dogma. Guess which one is usually on the losing side.

I did not expect this from Romney.

I don't think that is fair to Huckabee. Granted, he was terribly unlikely to win, but now he is out for good.

It is the right thing for Gov.Romney to do by supporting Sen.McCain.Hope Sen.Obama do the same for Sen.Clinton.

The scaredy cat Democrats who left the race, like Richardson, Biden, and Edwards, need to grow a pair and endorse Obama. They are so scared of the Clintons they rather not open their mouths. Either endorse Hillary or Obama. The feeling is that they want to not tell Mamma that they want to endorse Obama. If they don't take a stand they are a bunch of losers. I commend the Republicans on their unity and fearlessness.

Maybe he is trying to curry favor with McCain. There is the idea that if McCain doesn't win in 2008, this could set up Romney for a run in 2012. This run has him get a little face time with the public. It also softens many evangelicals to the idea of a Mormon running for president. This should have been seen by most of the pundits. I just wonder how most of the conservative talking heads will react.

From bad to worse.

So..............

Huckabee is still the best choice for the GOP.

Go MIKE

No matter what's the true reason behind his endorsement, one fact is that the GOP is collecting together.

Democratic should start to do it as soon as possible.

Romney to endorse McCain???? Romney is no hero. He's an opportunist. Throughout history, REAL heros have been defined by people who stand by their convictions...even to the point of death. It's true....what's inside always comes out when the squeeze is on.

I gotta say, it should be over soon for the Huck! It looks like Mitt is going to endorse McCain and see how it goes from there. But I do believe that the Republican Party is trying to get back on its heels before everything gets settled. Plus, they still got a lot of time left so they probably got a plan or some sort.

You know, I gotta say it must be cool when you endorse someone. I wonder if I can have a Senator, Congressman, Governor, or Representative endorse me. Can you imagine the power??? Ohhh yeah, that must be cool! LOL!!!

Ha

A marriage made in hell!

Wonders never cease in the GOP

Wow well I guess that is nice of Romney, I wish he would of been the Republican nominee! I just can't support McCain!

Romney 2012!
Obabam 08!

Mitt wants to be a player on a winning team... now what will all the "conservatives" do? Change their tune? Sit out the election and pout? Vote for Obama? When McCain wins the GOP nomination, let the games begin for Dobson, Rush and Blondie Ann... well worth the price of a ticket!

What else can Romney do if he wants a shot in the future? But doesn't it stick in McCain's craw to have to accept the endorsement after all the nasty comments from Romney just a few days ago?

Wonder if when Hilary has to concede if she can endorse Obama?

Smart move Mitt! Are you vying for vice president, or you own run in 20012/16 or both?

Hillary the HOPE of 08

Birds of a feather......FLIP FLOP ........ together

**McCain – Romney 08**!!!!!

Good old Romney. You can always count on that guy to pay lip service to whatever he thinks is popular.

A great move for Romney. A person Mccain needs on board. Now to get Huckabee to follow suit.. He wouldn't be a quitter if he did that. He would be solidifying the party in time for the convention

Well now. That proves what we thought all along.

Mitt Romney is no conservative.

Sad – so very sad.

well they're all on one side anyway, i just can't believe they're being as blatant as they are about dropping out of the election saying vote for this guy, and also stopping the vote counts like they did the other day? just disregarding votes like that? i was told EVERY vote counts..

Although I can't help but wish it was the other way around I am happy at Mitt's decision. This will help finish everything up while the Democrats still have to keep going. And I have to admit it will help get Huckabee out of the way. I guess what goes around comes around...but at least Romney did it for everyone to see unlike in West Virginia.

So the truth comes forth, Romney stayed in the race long enough to take votes from Huckabee and let McCain get a good lead, then drops out and gives his delegates to McCain. Despicable!

McCain is the best candidate: He's independent, has a strong record of accmomplishment, has military experience, and is willing to work with people on both sides to get things done.

Clinton has too much baggage, too many shady fund raising dealings, and not much of a record.

Obama has NO record of accomplishment in the senate and his
voting record shows he's far too partisan to be independent, unite the country, or work with Republicans.

Huckabee is too busy sucking up to the religious right.

Romney will always do the right thing for our Country. Huckabee needs to just fade away. Romney was right when he said, "it's not about me, it's about my country." when he gave up on his campaign.
McCain will prevail in November, because Americans don't want promises they want results. Hope is fine and Miracles do happen, but reality is that we are at war with an enemy that wants to destroy not only us, but western civilization. Neither Clinton nor Obama have the intestinal fortitude to confront this enemy. As a Republican I would have preferred Romney, but Mcain is fine with me too.

I guess this is Romney's way of returning the favor to Huckabee.

That would put McCain at 1113 by CNN's count, almost locking it up.

WHAT A TRUE POLITICIAN! It would only be right to endorse the person you've talked most negatively about, and tried SO hard to discredit.

I think I am seriously looking at the movement that's for moving the conservatives out of the republican party, this primary has been a JOKE!

If you'll remember when he was talking about how McCain needed to choose a VP who understood the economy since McCain stupidly but honestly said he doesn't understand the economy. Clearly Romney is looking for a VP slot since he portrayed himself as an economic master. What will be interesting is what McCain decides he needs more: the support of the fiscal conservatives (Romney) or social conservatives (Huckabee).

thats what im talking about!... A Message to all Republicans... this is a sign... its now the time to unite together and cast a vote for McCain... we need to unite to beat the dems... if Mitt Romney is willing to give McCain his support (and hes got more of a reason to be bitter towards him than most) then there is no reason any other true conservative shouldn't be willing to do the same... McCain in 08!! and for all you democrats and moderates who will cast a vote for McCain will also be the best thing for this country... VOTE JOHN MCCAIN IN 2008

Well, as an initial Mitt supporter, I am not unhappy about this move if the madman makes Mitt his v-p candidate. I confess I'm perplexed about how forgiving Mitt is given that McCain lied so blatantly about him to take Florida.

Go, go, go, McCain/Romney 2008!
Penny

That's fantastic news! Score one for the Liberal wing of the GOP. Romney, decried as the "true conservative" is endorsing McCain. The same McCain that voted TWICE against Bush tax cuts and tried to seek the VP slot on the Kerry campaign in 2004 under the Democratic ticket. I'm sure that the GOP trying to "out Democrat" the Democrats this election will result in a landslide victory....just not for them.

Oh well, Dems & Repubs are all starting to resemble each other anyway.

Somebody, quick call the caymen islands and let that other guy know that it's over.

Who cares? Romney is a joke.

The only way I could imagine this happening is if McCain made some conservative promises to Romney, and offered a position on his cabinet. We'll see?

This just shows that Mitt Romney is wanting the Vice President position in John McCain's cabinet.

well, well, well..... I guess that he hates Huckabee THAT much..... after all, if Huckabee had left before Super Tuesday, Mitt woudl have done a lot better and might still be in a competitive position agianst McCain.... hehehehe.....

Good move Mitt, I supported you whole heartedly, and now that your out, we have to make the best decision now for the good of the party, and that is to vote for McCain. I really didn't want to, still don't, but I will.

All you Romney fans, what do you think now?

Yeah I know, Mitt has always been a phony.

Kudos Mitt; the GOP non too-far-right salute you.

As much as mccain dogged romney, why on earth would you in endorse someone like that? romney=sell out. mccain=more wars and debt.

I think it's a good sign that McCain is treating Huckabee like a red-headed Republican stepchild. It shows that Huckabee isn't part of the GOP kennel club of good-ole boys and NASCAR watching rednecks. Independence is key in 2008!!!

The final flip for that flop.

Romney has come to his senses and realized that his real chance will be in 2012, so it is time to be a team player.

McCain's real strength will be in attracting back the moderate Republicans who are disgusted with Bush and are leaning Democrat, and the conservative Democrats. He needs to forget about the wacko evangelical crowd and let them go back to the John Birch Society, the Libertarian Party, or whatever other fringe group they belonged to before they jumped on then hijacked the Reagan bandwagon.

NOOOOOOOOOO

I'm a Republican that back Obama because I don't believe in the war, therefore, will no vote for McCain. Barack has a vision, inspiration and better policies coupled with the best minds behind him... he is a leader. Hillary has solutions... she is a consultant not a leader. As Huck said, "Voters, ultimately, when they think about a leader, are not thinking about somebody who can fix the carburetor as much as it is they want someone who can drive the car and … describe the destination they want to go". If Hillary want to make solutions with out a vision, she need to keep her day job.

I would have voted for Romney... I thought he had some level of integrity.

I was wrong....

This is great news, Romney has really shown that the party is what is important to him, too bad some others don't get the idea.

Mitt really does not like Mike Huckabee. I think this is the nail in the coffin for Huckabee!

That kind of makes it official wouldn't you agree? If you add in the delegates Romney won I believe it puts McCain over the top of the requisite number for the nomination. Time for Huckabee to step aside. He has run a good campaign and I think the former governor from Arkansas would be a good choice for the VP nod for McCain and would help shore up his position with conservatives. Run united and strong while the Dems continue to tear themselves apart. McCain is the only rational choice for President in this year's election.

We're doom. Where do the hard core conservatives go? Huckabee?

Speaking as a conservative, I'm extremely disappointed by this move. I definitely did not vote for John McCain to be the nomination and I see this as a way of telling me my vote does not matter. I will not be voting Democrat this fall, and I find it very unlikely that I will vote for Senator McCain. And from the looks of it, John McCain _needs_ votes from people like me if he expects to have a chance against the Democrats.

Well, that's the end for McCain. What could be worse than an endorsement from Mitt?

McCain/Romney Ticket!!!!!

If all Romney's delegates go to McCain, McCain will be less than 80 delegates from clinching. At that point, I think it is time for Mike Huckabee to leave the race for the sake of strengthening the Republican Party going into November.

This was expected and don't be surprised if McCain will select Romney as Vice President. Romney was a governor, a successful businessman, a conservative, and so he will definitely bringing votes from those McCain has troubles winning over.

Either way, the Democrat will win because too many are coming out this year to vote for change.

Big surprise there... Not. Who was he going to endorse?? Huckabee doesn't stand a snowball's chance...

Good to see that All republicans are getting together to kick the Democratics.

I said it a couple of weeks ago, though I don't agree with McCain on everything (I only agree with myself on everything), it wouldn't be a bad thing if he is President for one term (as he has stated) and then Romney is the nominee in 2012.

Now if he could help McCain bag 6-8 states that he did when he was running, that would go along way to a Romney Presidency in 2012 (maybe Secretary of commerce in the meantime.............).

Condi Rice or Liz Dole would both be excellent VP choices.

Please, just not Huckabee.

I wonder what McCain offered Romney in return...

No matter what back room deals have been swung . If Romney endorses Macain I still wont vote for him because he is too liberal and he is for amnesty and the NAFTA hwy. My neighborhood is over run by illegal aliens and the property value is lowered by there presence. Go Obama and take billery and mcClueless with you!!

HAHAHAHA!!! Huckabee sucks!!

Now Huckabee... Romney has proven his integrity and love for this country. Please follow suit so that we can beat Obama/Clinton.

Don't let your ego, or whatever agenda keeps you in, cost us our chance, Huckabee. We need to strengthen our party before November. Too much is at stake.

Huckabee... show you care as much for the party as you say and show us a miracle... step down. Get behind and support the frontrunner like Romney. We don't have a chance if you don't.

CNN also reports that true to form, Romney will then announce tomorrow that he supports Huckabee, denying that his initial position on the issue was only "theoretical".

Talk about playing it safe. He safely dropped out, and now he's safely endorsing this late in the game. So much for him backing the only conservative candidate who's out there fighting the good fight–Mike Huckabee.

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

This coming from the same guy touted himself as the "real conservative", bitterly debated McCain, and dislikes McCain.

The conservative radio talk-show hosts are going to have a field day with this one. I can't wait to watch HANNITY AND COLMES tonight. Poor Hannity will be crushed!

Obama in '08!

Hmm. Seems sort of odd. The guy who claimed to be a "true" conservative endorsing the guy he criticized for not being conservative enough. Of course Huckabee insulted his religion so he's out.

Can you say sell-out? Yet another proof the Republicans vote party over country.

What a flip-flopper!! Last week, he was supporting Romney, but this week, he is supporting McCain!

So, what's it going to be, Multiple-Choice Mitt?!

Its good to see the conservative base getting behind McCain.

If republicans want to keep the white house, conservatives need to stand behind McCain and let McCain win over independents.

McCain in 08!!

AGGGGHHH!! WHAT A PHONEY!!! TIPICAL FLIP-FLOPPER!! HE JUST LOST HIS 2012 BID!!

Who cares for that Flip-flopper! His endorsement does more harm than good.

I would never have guessed that he'd endorse McCain. The two clearly don't like one another. This comes as a shock.

John McCain should refuse Romneys endorsement. Everyone saw how much they disagreed on numerous topics throughout the debate. This makes both seem hypocritical. But on the other hand, as long as he can defeat the democratic nominee, I don't mind who endorses him.And again, welcome home and Semper Fi to Sen. McCains son, Jimmy.

As he should.
He can't sit on the fence 4 ever.
McCain...is the people's choice...he has true conservative values but has proven he can collaborate and compromise for the good of the nation. His judgement, leadership, and wisdom to handle the responsibilities are clear–and he has the ability to draw in those conservative democrats and independents are not in favor of moving towards a socialist-style society.

If you're for independence from government, free enterprise, famiy values, fairness and equality for all-the choice is clear.

That's interesting, considering how McCain dislikes Romney. Very interesting.

Good News! Hope he would be the vice President

sound like the republican party is swaying on its conservative beliefs. Jump on the band wagon Romney. McCain needs as much help as he can if he has to face Obama in the general election.

What a shame!!!! Romney tagged McCain as a liberal and pointed out all his non conservative positions. This is exactly the kind of politics we do not need in America. Away with the politics of Old. Romney Sways with the wind.

Obama 08!

This sickens me.

God love you Romney... McCain was never my choice, but I do understand why you did what you did.

See you in 2012 : )
