Romney's brilliant move...

In a move that takes second place only to my "shaving of the head" play, Romney pulled a fast one on Huckabee. As I have told many people, my philosophy on shaving my head was like dating a girl and knowing she was going to dump you, so you just dump her first.

Think about it, Romney is upset that Huckabee stayed in the race and made it a 2 man game, essentially eliminating any sort of formidable rise to beat McCain because most view the GOP divided into two parts, the Moderate right with McCain, and the Conservative right with HuckaRomney. They were duking it out for 2nd while McCain was on his victory tour. Many thought that Huckabee stayed in the game because he already had a deal with McCain in place to become his VP, which would make sense because they get along and it would go a long way to help McCain get the Conservative right out to vote in an election they may not otherwise get excited about...So...Romney makes a move, and in an act that the people are calling Noble, Selfless, and "for the good of the party," he bows out because he wants McCain to gather some very important momentum with the Republican party and bring the party together in a united attempt to defeat whatever the Dem's throw at them...and in the meantime, makes Huckabee look an idiot. Huckabee COULD NOT drop out behind him because he would have made the "VP conspiracy" critics look correct. He HAD to stay in, and in the meantime, he looks VERY selfish because as Romney is promoting the party, Huckabee is continuing the division. He looks like the high school basketball coach who is fouling in the last minute, even though his team is down by 20 points. Huckabee was in a "Darned if you do, darned if you don't" scenario, because Romney pulled a fast one and bowed out in front of him. There is no way he saw that coming and it really put him in a bind.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer Huckleberry to McCain, but I just think the move by Romney was brilliant and will go a long way with the party to help in a run in 2012 if we lose this one, heaven forbid.
