But local hunter people are looking for what to do because those of principle cannot vote hunter since he endorsed huckabee.
Forget Duncan himself, but do not forget the fellow conservatives that supported him till he defected.
With Romney out it will be even more important to circle around Fred and get those who will not come onboard to at least vote uncommitted, so those votes and delegates do not go to mccain or huckabee.

Hey, Just wanted to share an opinion with everyone. Let me know what you think.
I think Mitt Romney DID NOT drop out. He, too, used the word, "Suspend" his campaign. ALL Mitt Romney did, was FORCE Huckabee to either TAKE ON Juan McCain or to DROP OUT HIMSELF!!!!!!!! Fred Thompson said to Mitt Romney, "You're becoming a pretty good actor". I would have to disagree. Mitt Romney is not out of this either!
What do you guys think? Melissa M

Melissa,
You bring up a good point...it's not like Romney can't easily pick up where he left off, in terms of money or organization. Where are is support going to go now...Ron Paul?

Remember though Mitt's spent upwards of $30 million of his own money on his now "failed" campaign. He may have been looking at this from a business point of view. The question is were previous comments he's made regarding VP a slip?

From CNN on 1/28:
For a moment Monday, Mitt Romney seemed to nominate himself for a job he doesn't want.
“It’s not really something he understands that well. He’s said it a number of times and indicated that he’d have to choose a vice president who really understood the economy. Well, I do understand the economy.” Catching himself, he added, “I’m not going to be any vice president to John McCain either, that’s not going to happen.”

See! This is why Melissa is who she is!!! More guts than I have seen in many folks!!! Melissa, I am with you, and I will fight till I can't fight anymore. There is so much more to this than we know and I believe there is a reason Mitt said all that he said. Yes, he sounded like Fred! Yes, he said he was suspending his campaign. No one suspends something that is done, THEY END IT!!!!! And Fred will be back, probably with Romney as VP. Romney has respected Fred all along, you could see it in his eyes and his mannerisms. The Base will not accept Jaun McChange, he is a LIAR. He is a TRAITOR in my book, he would let mexicans take this country over. GOD knows I am OUTRAGED, as we all should be! Make the calls folks! Let 'em know we will NOT accept the lying George Soros paid for PUPPET!!! If we don't get it together, and DEMAND, DEMAND a TRUE CONSERVATIVE, it is US that have let ourselves down. BOMBARD THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NOW!!! LET THEM KNOW, NO WAY WILL WE VOTE FOR THIS Freakin' LIAR, TRAITOR, LIBERAL LOVING piece of garbage. HE IS NOT A REPUBLICAN. HE IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE, and We The People demanded his Amnesty bill was killed, as We The People must DEMAND his candidacy be ended. Ended, not suspended. Think about it. Then make the calls.

With the deals between Huckabee and McCain,would it seem to far fetched to think that Huckabee may withdraw after Romney offically withdraws instead of suspending his campaign? If that happens then Huckabee could withdraw in exchange for a VP position. I hardly believe that Ron Paul could draw enough support to challenge McCain on any level.. AND then ta da ..McCain gets the nomination. Can you imagine his victory speech? This could be the reason for Romneys suspension and keeping his delegates so this remains a race,pittiful as it is.

Word is that that Mitt kept the delegates so that he can have a say on the platform. www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8386.htmlRomney suspended his campaign rather than officially end it in order to continue to represent the interests of his delegates, said spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom. "We want to make sure that the governor's principles are reflected in the platform and at the convention. We have a number of pledged delegates and we don't want to completely abandon them. But we're not laboring under unrealistic expectations that governor Romney might magically become the Republican nominee."
