He came up with some IMO poor explanations for why to do it ("it ain't over till it's over" or "the people in the states that hav enot yet voted need a choice") - in truth I think it was only a huge publicity "stunt" in order to get himself known better. He's making big bucks by holding speeches at conferences and such with his now renowned name and has become a pretty big figure in the GOP. His chance of becoming president were exactly 0% after super tuesday, so keeping this thing going for what it's intended to be - becoming president - was pointless.

The Republicans had a vital advantage though: Huckabee was an absolutely fair candidate that did not (to my knowledge) throw any low punches at McCain, so in the end it was a pretty peaceful coexistance between the 2. Hillary however is tearing Obama appart - be it bassed on truth or not, sadly it's working. The question is, for who?

We have most definitely not seen the last of Hillary Clinton, even if she looses which she probably will as you correctly state.

How do you like that? The snake will not perish even after you cut off one of its heads.

I hope the Democrats can push for Governor Kathleen Sibelius or Janet Napolitano in 2012. Hillary still has to be stopped.
