Obviously the big political news of the day. Now, technically speaking he has not ended it; just suspended active campaigning. Which means he still controls his pledged delegates at the convention on the first ballot.
I am sure the conventional wisdom is this seals the nomination for McCain. And that might very well be the case. However, I think this does create a chance that McCain doesn’t get the nomination. Basically I am wondering what happens if the vast majority of Romney’s supporters, fearing that McCain is simply not conservative enough, flock to the Mike Huckabee banner? I know this is the exact opposite of what the disciples of Limbaugh were advocating for in the lead-up to Super Tuesday; Huckabee gets out so the conservative vote unifies behind Romney. But my question is, why can’t the conservative vote unify behind Huckabee? If it does, we might actually have a whole new ballgame.
