With Huckster's refusal to leave amidst winning contests, could we see Romney become VP nod for him?

Is it not possible that Romney's 288 delegates could be given to Huckster to make it very close between Huckabee and McCain? If Huckster keeps winning (and VA is the big one) could this occur even though it's a longshot for Huckabee to win, I think it'd be great for the DEM party! Huckster's a nutjob!

1. Romney dropped out because GOP powers made him. He looked freshly water boarded in his speech.

He's not giving any delegates to Huckster, and they wouldn't go anyway.

Huckster is running on his own, with some tacit backing by social conservatives. Financial conservatives don't like him.

I like him on the puke primary ballot, because he'll draw evangelics to the puke primaries, who will further embarrass old Grumpy McCain. That sets up a fall where maybe they stay home in numbers.

2. thank you

and yes, the longer the turmoil there, the better. I hope Hucky keeps winning and winning, it thoroughly humiliates the GOP forces and smaller downstream backers (like me, on the DEM side, who actively help doing some things come election time, and donate). It will cause so much friction, I think they will feel they have no chance.

And I think it's pretty much a given, if Obama beats Hillary in Texas or Ohio (I don't really see Texas, but Ohio is possible, but there are many people there who don't want Obama, more than those who don't want Hillary, sad to say), then I think she'll stop her campaign immediately.

This could be over in a couple weeks! For us that is!

3. I think it's easy for people to misread the Texas Tea Leaves as they apply to Hillary

First, everyone tends to think of Texas as Bush country, which is true, but not relevant to the Democratic party. For Democrats, we hate his sorry ass and always have.

Second, as a party, we're not as conservative as people think we are. We put up Hispanic and black candidates to run for the US senate or governor. Men.

Third, Hillary is despised down here by the same older white demographic that serves her so well in other states. She's got a lot of people that don't like her on a personal level.

Fourth, they're overplaying the Hispanic v. Blacks angle.
