Mitt Romney has announced that his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination will be suspended. I'm not clear how "suspended" differs from "discontinued." In his prepared remarks he annoints John McCain as the presumtive nominee. Now the question is whether Huckabee agrees? If not, to what degree will Romney votes be available to Huckabee? And of course the overarching questions is this: does any of this GOP activity matter at all?
Meanwhile, folks are speculating about Huckabee as McCain's vice presidential pick. Some of the so-called experts I've seen seem to think McCain will look elsewhere for his veep choice. They may have been privy to off-the-record leaks from the McCain camp which cause them to take that view. On the other hand, I can see some logic in choosing Huckabee. Time will tell....
