This is why I'm so damned frustrated with Thompson and Romney. *Neither* of the conservative candidates in the race has been able to close the deal. Romney has spent millions of his own money and Thompson had conservative support handed to him on a silver platter. Look at both of them -- 3rd and 4th in *the* state where conservatives should be controlling the board. Deal with it.
Apparently, with Mr. Thompson standing by to snatch his hat back out of the ring so he can return to napping, Erick has finally come to grips with the awful truth, as explained to him by one of his own commenters:
Romney is set up to be Anyone but McCain candidate. Thompson will drop out at some point this week, Huckabee just lost a state where the Evangelical vote was in the 55-59% range so he has no viability left. If you hate McCain why would you vote for Rudy. That leaves Romney. Also I imagine Romney will get a high profile buisness job if he does not get the nomination and I do think all of his sons are Ivy League grads so they are not banking on their Father's money.
Perhaps it's time to reconsider Mr. Keyes' prospects.
