UPDATE: 02/13/2008
Coming off a sweep in the Potomac Primaries, John McCain’s campaign has a message for Mike Huckabee: It’s over.
The campaign released a memo after McCain won Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia Tuesday night saying the victories make it “mathematically impossible for Governor Huckabee to secure the Republican nomination for president.”
As he pressures Huckabee, McCain is resuming the role of presumptive nominee after suffering embarrassing losses to his rival Saturday in Kansas and Louisiana. McCain has clenched that mantle since Super Tuesday, and was emboldened after Mitt Romney dropped out of the race last week.
He’s since set to marshaling the support of the Republican base, and mending fences with those leaders with whom he’s clashed in the past.
Hey… like him or not, Mike Huckabee fought a good fight and now is the time to get out of the Presidential primaries. Save everyone the time and money. Huckabee has less delegates than Romney… and Mitt gracefully bowed out last week. So why drag the pain and agony out any further?
Even if Huckabee does find something fishy in Washington state regarding the vote count… he still can’t win. Don’t get me wrong, every vote should count. And if irregularities are found they should be corrected. Hopefully clear thinking individuals will do the right thing.
Just my two cents.
