| Mitt Romney Steps Aside!!!!!!!!!!
Fox News just released the info that Mitt Romney has just stepped down as a Republican Nominee. In the article, Mitt is quoted as saying,
"If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator (Hillary) Clinton or (Barack) Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror. This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends and our supporters, many of you right here in this room have given a great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming president. If this were only about me, I would go on. But I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, I feel I must now stand aside, for our party and for our country.
Let us now hope that Huckabee will do the same, and we can all begin to move forward in a UNITED front as we back John McCain as our next president and defeat the communists.

Check out these two videos:
The Tale of Two Mitts
Even Huckabee admits the truth about McCain
So I see Feb 5, 2008, as a complete victory for Senator John McCain. Even in the States that he didn't win he still won. A lot of Republicans I heard on the radio, TV, etc. did not think he would do that well in the South. Well what follows is a pretty good indication, I believe, that Republicans are for the Straight Talk Express.
States won:
California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Arizona, Delaware, Connecticut and Oklahoma
He was also 3% or less behind Huckabee in winning 3 of the southern states: Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee and only 10% behind Romney in Massachusetts. McCain also won a good bit of delegates from the states he did not win while pulling off huge victories in winner-takes-all states. I believe it is inevitable that McCain wins the nomination.
I must say I am getting sick and tired of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, James Dobson, Ann Coulter and other Republicans slamming McCain. Coulter, even siad yesterday on FOX News that if McCain is nominated and the race for President is close than she would rather vote for Hillary. Rush also chimed in yesterday adding that the nomination of Huckabee or McCain would ruin the Republican party and that weather it is McCain, Huckabee or Hillary in office, either way it will be a debacle and he would rather it be the embaressment of a Democrat than a Republican.
Surely they can't be serious! I do not see where they get that McCain is qualified for the position of President. A campaign manager for McCain said yesterday that they hoped Rush would see that if Senator McCain should get the nomination that he (Rush) would support him, knowing there will be differences they have, but knowing that they small differences they might have far pale in comparison to having a ultra liberal like Hillary in Office.
I agree. Then you have local personalities Rick and Bubba saying on national media that there just might not be as many people get out and vote in November if McCain is nominated. I hope Southerners are not that narrow minded that they would not vote for McCain and have a communist/socialist in office instead. Very frustrating.
Anyway, I have full confidence that McCain will continue to roll on to victory and the Republican nomination and then on to the White House.
As far as the issues go, please take a look at the website: www.JohnMcCain.com
I have also linked an article by By Steven G. Calabresi and John O. McGinnis, Wall Street Journal Commentary on Senator McCain and the Supreme Court that you might want to look at to educated on his true stance on Supreme Court Nominations and some of his values. CLICK HERE TO READ
Thanks for tuning in. More to follow as updates occur.

| From the desk of Bob DoleSo I came across this today from Bob Dole. Pretty interesting. This was sent to Rush Limbaugh in response to the repeated jabs that McCain has been taking from some of the mainstream conservatives.
BOB DOLE DEFENDS JOHN MCCAIN IN LETTER TO RUSH LIMBAUGH
by FOXNews.com
Monday, February 4, 2008
Rush,
I have not seen you in a long time but I do hear you frequently and I know that you have serious reservations about Senator McCain.
Not that many care but I have not been involved in the Republican Primary contest because Elizabeth, a good conservative, is running for reelection in North Carolina where Romney, McCain and Huckabee each enjoy considerable support.
I was the Republican Leader from January 1985 until I left the Senate voluntarily in June 1996. I worked closely with Senator McCain when he came to the Senate in 1987 until I departed. I cannot recall a single instance when he did not support the Party on critical votes.
(At my age, I cannot be entirely certain but here are a few key conservative examples:)
1. Consistent pro-life record
2. Strong advocate for strict constructionist judges (We were misled on the Souter nomination)
3. Supported voluntary school prayer
4. Supported Constitutional Amendment for a Balanced Budget (needed two-thirds and lost by one vote - 66-34)
5. Strong advocate for reducing spending and opposing pork barrel “ear marks” which has, I might add, angered some of his colleagues
6. Consistent on defending Second Amendment rights
7. Opposed “Hillary Care” which would have been devastating
8. Probably the Senate’s strongest advocate for strong national defense
9. Of course he has cast many votes since I left. I totally disagreed with the McCain-Feingold legislation. On immigration, Senator McCain was not in the Senate when Congress passed President Reagan’s immigration legislation which passed overwhelmingly. It granted amnesty to 2.7 million illegals. It was not much different than the 2007 McCain, Kennedy, Bush effort.
I disagree with his votes against the Bush tax cuts but I believe his pledge to make them permanent and I do not agree that Governor Romney ever suggested a timetable for troop withdrawals in Iraq.
McCain is a friend and I proudly wore his P.O.W. bracelet bearing his name while he was still a guest at the “Hanoi Hilton.” I believe our major candidates are mainstream conservatives and that our nominee will address our concerns by keeping taxes low, reducing corporate taxes, protecting and assisting the vulnerable, strengthening our traditional values, and above all, keeping America strong militarily, whatever the cost.
Whoever wins the Republican nomination will need your enthusiastic support. Two terms for the Clintons are enough.
Gob Bless America,
BOB DOLE
P.S. Rush, I just came across a document from the Senate Library which shows Presidential Support scores. Let me give you ratings for “Mr. Conservative” Senator Helms through 2002 (Helms retired in January 2003) and Senator McCain through 2004.

| Don't forget to get out and vote tomorrow!
John McCain's Website
So I think/hope that the election will end up as follows:
My man McCain wins the Republican nomination while Hillary beats out Obama. Then McCain and vice president Guliani or Huckabee wins the election.
By the way, for all the Huckabee folks trying to trash McCain as not being conservative, check this out.
