A Vote For Huck Is A Vote For McCain, At Least In West Virginia It Is

Sounds like some good ole back room dealing went on between the two liberal Republicans in the West Virginia caucus. Now I don’t find this to be too sinister. It is actually pretty common. Still though, what it says is exactly what many of us have been saying all along, which is that Huckabee is in cahoots with McCain and a vote for the Huckster is a vote for McCain.

More from:

BCM- “Thinking is that McCain defectors broke to Huck and not Romney.”

Rob Huddleston- “Romney shouldn’t be surprised, though. McCain has more than a little history of screwing Republicans.”

David Oatney- “Romney’s reaction to losing in West Virginia was not to congratulate Huckabee (like a real man would do), but to cry about some supposed backroom deal that neither he nor his supporters can actually prove took place.“

    I still think your classification of McCain as “liberal” is laughable.

    tgrish, McCain is not a Republican sort of guy. McCain gives Republicans, and conservatives, a ‘leftier’ look, and opens the Party Door for more and more leftist shenanigans. His support for the junk science of the Global Warmalists, his gutting of the First Amendment, just to name two disagreements I have with him. He wants as much ‘free speech control’ (the Fairness Doctrine) and ‘thought control’ as an average liberal college professor. Political Correctness, thy name is McCain.

    He just ain’t like me.

    And, he’s out-of-touch with his own touchiness…

    I liked it better when he was on the verge of dropping out early in the race, for lack of cash. I felt safer, then.

    Now, with Hillary looming on the far left like some reincarnated Medusa, and McCain covering left-of-center, all I can see on the Right is a shifty, faded set of Gold Plates that may well disappear before we can melt them down for to use as a set of Latter-Day Prophet’s Chess pieces and a lucky piece of eight.

    Sheeesh. I should’ve given more to Thompson, I suppose…

    I don’t think it was a back room deal . . . not with Huckabee at least. The smaller the better as far as conspiracies are concerned. I think it was a simple message/directive to McCain delegates that they should deny Romney a victory. Right?

    Ned -

    If the directive was to deny Romney a victory, then they did so with a backroom deal.

    Not sure I see your point…

    Cheers,

    Rob

    I still don’t understand how McCain-Feingold “guts” the First Amendment. But then, I’ve never bought the argument that money = speech, either.
