What an interesting turn of events for this ‘Super Tuesday’
Even at
15.5% of the votes tallied in California McCain holds a steady lead to
Romney’s second place. Even though Giuliani and Thompson hold many
votes as well, no doubt from absentee ballots as well as the idiots who
actually voted for them on the ballot since they were still listed,
over 100,000 to be exact.
One must question what is Mitt Romney
to do? No one knows, but mighty Mitt. I’m sure by the time you read
this we will know more so for the sake of that I will talk about the
future. There are still several more primaries to go and as you know
nothing is over as no candidate is anywhere near the votes needed to
claim 100% victory. I do not foresee Mitt Romney dropping out as of
yet. If he is able to pick up more delegates than a surprising Mike
Huckabee at the end of the tally then he is definitely the second place
finisher. Is this enough to make John McCain choose him as his running
mate? Is this enough to make conservatives vote for John McCain? After
seeing many conservatives dismissing John McCain completely, and seeing
the amount of votes on the democratic side, one must admit that a
McCain/Romney ticket would be much better than a McCain/Huckabee ticket
in November. After all if it’s a Clinton/Obama ticket, then we really
have something to talk about. Be that as it may, ultimately, John
McCain must seriously consider this as many will not vote for him in
November. This is wrong. As a party we must welcome whoever the
candidate is and vote for him. We must have faith that this individual
will carry out the conservative principles we hold dear and follow our
instructions as his voters. McCain will not be able to open the
borders. He will have to back tax cuts and make them permanent. And he
will definitely need to convince millions that he is the man for the
job.
If Romney were to be invited to be McCain’s running mate, Romney will
definitely have to think of McCain’s age. Is it possible for a man to
be president until he is 80 years old? Is it possible that McCain could
run for 1 term, God forbid have health issues and not seek a second
term? Is it possible for a president to seek council from a VP for
once? Certainly. But we must see that because of these strange
circumstances anything is possible. Good and bad.
I will ask
the remaining voters to vote in their elections, not just for a front
runner, but assuming Romney remains in the election through March 4th,
which it looks like he will, to consider him as your candidate.
Conventions are funny things. And if no candidate has the amount of
delegates needed to claim victory, so we still have a choice in our
candidate.
