Listening to the likes of Rush, Ingram, Hannity et el it seemed they were all but ordering their audience to vote for Mitt. Well that didn't happen, least not in numbers that made a difference. Wonder what others think were the causes of Mitt's demise.

I supported Huckabee from the time he announced. It seems to me that no one took him serious and wrote him off early. Of all the people on the republican party side, I felt he was the one candidate whose positions most closely matched mine and who seem to be the type of person who who always act according to his convictions.
Hence the problem I had with Mitt, and McCain. I think both of these men play the "political game" and their views will evolve to match the political need at the time. I tend to support people who have solid core beliefs.
I won't support McCain in the general election. I may vote for a third party candidate as I have done a few times in the past.
I have already accepted the real possibility of a Democratic President and Congress. I am already planning on getting "free" health care. Since I am getting older and not at retirement age, why not let some of you young healthy folks foot my bills.
