In the same 15 minutes that Mitt Romney announces that he is suspending his candidacy for president "for the good of the party and good of the nation" The CPAC (conservative political action committee) convention convened a meeting where John McCain is about to speak.
Laura Ingram is speaking now about 'their cause' and proving once again that they are not above sharing their hate with each other. She may not know that the guy she is attacking is the inevitable future candidate of their party.
I am ever so hopeful that he will give her the verbal slap she deserves. But doubt that will happen.
If I were John McCain I would leave without speaking. Let these hate-mongering hacks come to him as he tries to unite the cantankerous lot of them.
But Romney is calling on these conservatives to 'rise to the occassion' in order to unify for the cause of a stronger America. Notibly absent in his speech are any words of concession. He even spoke of looking to the future.
What does it mean for him to outline his conservative credentials and then step down except to imply that 'while I am not the guy for this race, neither is McCain.'
I am starting to sense that we are going to end up with McCain (the one the conservative base doesn't want) running against Hillary Clinton (the one that half of America doesn't want).
In spite of all the hype going on now, could it be that we will end up with a final selection in November about which noone will care?

What a nice surprise. I absolutely cannot stand him...."phony" personified. And, it seems your running theme continues, regarding the "handling" of issues.
