Senator John McCain looks like the big winner on the Republican side. I was for Romney in the Primaries and will be for the Republican come the General. If that means I cast my vote for McCain, so be it.
At this point, I think Romney and Huckabee would do the GOP a great favor, given the acrimony during the Primary contests, to drop out, back McCain and let Hillary and Obama fight it out till until the Democrat Convention.
Knowing when to get out shows a great deal of grace and character. On the other hand a wasted effort that will do little but create even more division among the Republican base shows a certain lack of character. Super Tuesday was to Romney and Huckabee, what Florida was to Giuliani. Mayor Giuliani knew enough to drop out after losing in Florida. How long will it take for the same message to sink into Mitt & Huck?
And will Congressman Ron Paul please go home to Texas. He is a rather pathetic side show.
