>>>>>Romney Takes One for theTeam<<<<<
In which Mitt himself answers the question posed recently by InstaGlenn about whether Romney 2008 = Reagan 1976. What’s the best thing about this? The goodwill it’ll earn him among the party establishment for not dragging out the primary? The fond memory it creates in the mind of the base of a man willing to sacrifice his own ambition to support victory in Iraq? The venom it’ll draw from the left about him using the war as political cover for his own failure? Or the fact that it backs Huckabee into a corner by framing the continuation of his own campaign as effectively furthering the Democrats’ plans for withdrawal?

Virginia’s five days away and Huck stands a chance of hurting McCain. Over to you, Christian leader.

Personally I think that characterization is rather demeaning to Christians. Huckabee has shown he is no moralist: his morality begins and ends with the Huckster's own ambition. I am really disturbed, however, that so many evangelicals in the South were not wise enough to see through this phony.

Now, since I've had time to process the surprising decision made by Gov Romney, I think that he's really
come out the winner. He didn't want to play the sleazy
Washington games and he's shown his character and
courage by the choice he made.
