Reeling from losses on Super Tuesday, Mitt Romney officially dropped out of the presidential race on February 7. Last week he proceeded to endorse his one-time Republican rival John McCain.
The suspicion is that Romney is hankering to be McCain’s vice presidential pick. As the GOP’s more conservative second-place candidate (who also conveniently comes from a northern state) Mitt would indeed be an attractive pick for McCain the Red State moderate.
But then there’s Mike Huckabee, who refuses to drop out of the race and endorse McCain even though it is MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for him to win the nomination at this point in time. But by continuing to hang around, and win votes in conservative states, Huck’s hard-to-get act may ultimately make him even more attractive than Romney.
Or McCain could go with someone completely random. He is a maverick after all.
