Well Romney's delegates have to pick between Huck and Paul now, cause McCain is TOAST!

STRAIGHT TALK EXPRESS INDEED. We all know that there is no politician in Washington without ties to Lobyist. Hillary, Obama, Mccain. They all have ties. For Mccain to claim that he has never showed favor to a lobyist is ludicrous.

Really? Show me the lobbyist ties that Ron Paul has. Aren't we all glad that we didn't vote for a true statesman like Paul instead a "Business as usual" lying politician like McCain?

According to Bloomberg News, at last count, John McCain had 26 lobbyists on his staff, either as advisers or fund raisers; according to same story, Clinton had 11, while Obama had none.

With 26 lobbyists on staff, I suspect we'll see more potential conflicts of interest bubble up from within the McCain campaign.

It's looking like the Republican party is Ron Pauls best friend. Maybe tenacity is all he needs. In the end he may be the only candidate left standing. Maybe the republicans will choose the right candidate despite itself.

So it was MITTens who was pushing the lobbyist affair story.

Makes sense because MITTens has no scruples. And with Mischievous Mitt's Misdeeds, its time to check out Ol Huck.

Huck's got compassion and conservatism. Huck's Humble and has teh Humility. Huck's got a big heart and the Kung Fu Grip via proxy (Love to CN).

Come March 4 pull the LEVER for the HUCK. Roll on HUCK, Roll on.

Lobbyists: Obama has NONE.

McCain: he did intervene on that firm Paxson's behalf for Ms. Vicki Iseman, she was bragging all over Washington about her influence with him, they were gallivanting around like young lovers together, and 10 years before, he was wrapped up in the Keating 5 savings and loan failure scandal, so why would he claim he'd "never" betrayed the public's trust? Is he lying, senile or what's the real truth here?

Although I agree with most critics that the NYT article is very thin on news and sources, it accurately describes the self-righteous McCain whose arrogance allows him to tread where he forbids others. His self-appointed virtue is weak, bordering on delusional. Romney is the ONLY leading Republican without a shade of impropriety in his life. That, “my friends”, is the real reason McCain hates him so much.

Romney should step in again and join forces with Huckabee to shape the real republican and consevative alternative to McCain, who is a hotheaded flipflopping disyoal member of his party, and even more to Obama who will support gay marriages and stop the war against the islamites.

I bet the Times does not take this sitting down! I expect MORE revelations an facts to come to light in the next few days. John McVain is toast!

Blows my mind how you Republicans consistently wade through the neck-high muck of your candidate's out-in-plain-sight vices to stick your value vote up the *** of the most corrupt snake oil salesmen you have ever been hypnotized by. Are you that desperate to elect God's representative on Earth that you'd sacrifice your integrity to vote against your own self interests, e.g. - VA health reform for the very folks, like me, who make your hypocritical, commercially-driven, false-idol worshiping lives of false-freedom possible? Stubborness is not a virtue; either vote for Ron Paul's steadfast and heroic constitutional adherence (should be a national hero compared to the jokes kissing your asses with fake promises and scandals to boot), or join the ranks of Obamacans, the cross-over Republicans sick and tired of whatever the Republican party has devolved into.

Voting for anyone else is a sign of political sickness, and a sure sign of intellectual sloth.

Is clearly having a bad day. I don't want to believe she has that much Hate go on. So I say come back when you've calmed down.

I am overjoyed at all the chaos both campaigns are involved in presently! I heard Michelle Obama making a speech this noon and if the Messiah gets to be President he intends on changing everything from free speech to chastizing people from thinking other than the way he does! Hes never been vetted by anyone and no one seems to care. Four years of him and a worse situation than were in presently. At least with Hilliary we know the dog in this fight and shes a piece of cake compared to Obama and his big mouthed wife. McCain has a very pretty wife but shes addicted to drugs! Not a pretty picture for a First Lady. McCain talks out of both sides of his mouth and blatantly lies right to ones face. Huckabee is a religious freak, and Ron Paul makes sense but hes out there. Mitt Romney did Massachusetts in, so thank the lord for whatever and he left the mess and can't re-enter the race. He should now sign up his 5 sons to go to Iraq since their father is now not going to be the President, how LAME
he was to say that. The whole world is once again laughing at the U>S>, were a total joke. Now that everyone is in the soup and with GW's numbers at 19% total and 77% non approval, what will he do to make a bigger ass of himself!

Man the press has no standards these days. If Mitt's team knew this story was out there and had a good idea of what it was, he never would have pulled out of the race. He would have hung in like Huckabee has and hoped to have been in a position to be the nominee out of the convention. That common sense logic is beyond the grasp of the average ABC reporter.

MITTens has to go on the RECORD and publically deny that neither he nor anyone related to the Willard Romney campaign had anything to do with promoting this non-story.

His failure to do such will lead me to conclude that he's responsible, in part, for the sabotage of the McCain campaign.

Isn't McCain's behavior sabotaging his campaign. How hard is it to answer questions. I guess the "Straight Talk Express", has been imploded for the "Attack, slash and burn" political attacks that resemble the days of Hilliary and Bill. No wonder Hilliary and John are so anxious to run against each other. They know where each others bodies are buried and won't tread on either ones history of lies and personal malfeasance. Hilliary is dirty and so is John, it makes you just want to vomit at the thought of having to choose between the two. I will vote for someone else this fal, and pray that these two will have to see the White House on a tour and not be granted the unlimited powers of the Presidency. Congress failed to rein in or hold Bush accountable, what do you think in store for us with four to eight years of Hilliary or McCain? Fightening....

"The remnants of the Romney campaign are shaking their heads this morning."

Isn't if obvious that the NYT held the story because they wanted to run against McCain? ...probably because the McCain vs. Clinton/Obama provided the most interesting "Horse Race" -- the others on the Republican dais being lame coming out of the gate? and the McCain vs. __ will sell more papers this Fall?

Of course, they're wanting to pick the Fall Classic winner now, before things get out of hand.

This might be the reason Huck stayed around so long and keeps saying the race is not over...

A WINNING TICKET!!!!

JOHN MCCANN AND MITT ROMNEY

Ok, lets get this straight. Romney's campaign knew that this was in the works, dropped out of the race, endorsed and handed over their delegates to McCain, and are now crying foul? And then his people are blaming Huckabee for his demise? WOW. I guess I'm just too new to the politics scene.

Choosewisely says - "I guess I'm just too new to the politics scene."

It shows dude.

Someone PLEASE tell Mitt Romney it's not too late to flip-flop and endorse Huckabee.
