No problem Brian - no love lost! I was just kind of blown away that McCain would throw Huckleberry his backers just to thwart Romney. That won't be so funny when McCain dies during his second year and VP Huckabee becomes president... oh wait, those guys are unelectable.

Do ya'll really have NO substantive stuff to talk about that all you can do is nitpick each other. Is everyone here 12? It's SUPER TUESDAY people - talk about the ISSUES & CANDIDATES - or at least something more interesting than this nagging.

Now I see. There's a typo there-- Clinton voted against the ban, which is why Rees has a bone to pick with her. But the rest of it is correct and the intention is correct otherwise.

This is what happens when you read too quickly. What I said about David Rees is exactly what David Rees said, and you even agreed with me and didn't realize it. Read it again.

Speaking of reading too quickly-- trying to get news up fast sometimes means you have to read very vague AP stories. That's why it says: "It seems." I just report what I see, people. Now that the story has been updated in the hours since, it clarifies that, indeed, McCain handed over his votes to Huckabee to hurt Romney.

Thanks for clarifying on that, though.

Brian Fairbanks, you are freaking out. First off, the David Rees article points out that Obama voted for the clusterbomb ban, and Clinton voted AGAINST. Then in West Virginia, it wasn't the anti-McCain crowd that threw off the vote - it was a caucus; when McCain didn't have enough support to win, he had his delegates join Huckabee to take him over the top & F Romney in the A hole.

Actually, it wasn't anti-McCain people going for Huckabee in W.V. It was pro-McCain people switching to Huckabee in the second round just to keep Romney from winning.
