in it as a compromise candidate at the convention, and Obama has a very powerful Teddy endorsement.

Wow - A caucus win and a primary win sure are decisive. Or is it a caucus win and 3 primaries?

indeed in 2004 Edwards won SC and then nothing else.

13. The GOP ticket will likely be John McCain w/ Mitt Romney as VP - "Mitch " is Mitt from
Michigan to some friends and it slipped out onto DU - Willard Mitt Romney - my error

6. Plan B is a brokered convention where they will roll out their matched
candidate, a woman. Who she will be? My guess is Lynne Cheney, but she will be as tough and matched to age, looks, etc.

How will they get McCain to step aside? My guess is health rumors, mental health questions, expose some of their wiretap info, and lean on the big money people, and the M$M.

11. No, I still think Mitt is their puppet...
but they may put a woman up there with him, K.B. Hutchison, or some other bushbot like Liddy Dole. On the other hand, they might saddle him with Hucky to throw a bone to the fundies.
