I’m impressed with Mitt’s decision. According to Fox News, he said:
“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 [...]

Not surprisingly, Obama and Clinton are now neck-and-neck, with Obama slightly ahead.
McCain definitely has a commanding lead now, and Huckabee would be doing everyone a favor by dropping out now and bequeathing his delegates to Romney. There’s still a chance for Romney, but Huckabee would have to do the almost impossible… once Romney and McCain [...]

Numbers still coming in, but mostly it appears that McCain is taking a large number of delegates over Romney and Huckabee, and Hillary is a bit ahead of Obama. Tomorrow will tell more.
West Virginia surprised a few people when Huckabee won.

I promised I would try and take a position on the remaining candidates before things are settled. I’m probably too late, but tomorrow still has possibilities for Romney. The party is definitely looking like it’s leaning to port, and it’s what we have to work with.
Of the remaining candidates, I definitely prefer Mitt [...]

I’ve read and heard a number of conservatives (and I myself have struggled with this) who appear to be giving up on this year’s elections already. I’m disappointed. Ann Coulter certainly exuded an extreme version of the conservative angst (although she’s definitely on the wrong track by suggesting Hillary is a viable alternative [...]

It’s been a busy day in politics…
John Edwards has apparently been paying attention to our suggestions. He has decided to drop out of the race leaving no endorsement (yet). Any bets on who that helps?
Rudy Giuliani also has departed, providing an endorsement to John McCain. Nice. Most people seem to agree that McCain is [...]
I see that Ed Morrissey at Captain’s Quarters has made a decision on who to support in the Minnesota Caucus on February 5. His choice is Mitt Romney. Clearly, Mitt is carrying a stronger conservative message than either John McCain or Mike Huckabee (or Rudy, in my opinion), and Ed has the same frustration that [...]
