"The primaries are over," Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said when asked for comment about Huckabee's statements. "Now, the task of all Republicans is on uniting the party to help elect John McCain, not on sowing division." Apparently not all feel the same. Labels: mike huckabee Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Bush and Mitt are both in the first 45 seconds or so of this video. It's fun to see President Bush visiting the American athletes. Originally posted at NY for Mitt.

The conservative blogosphere is abuzz with the #dontgo movement. But here's an angle we haven't pursued yet. If you look at this issue through a strictly "liberal" lens you get a huge club to bash over the collective heads of Obama, Hillary and Pelosi (arguably the new political trinity come November).
First the setup: Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have called for a tax on windfall profits for the oil industry. Hillary was the most brazen in her Febuary 2007 statement: "I want to take those profits". Last week Exxon/Mobile reported another record quarter coming out billions of dollars in the black. It's a good thing too. What's that? A good thing that E/M is raking in beaucoup profits off of gas guzzling people across the world? Why yes, yes it is a good thing. Looking at their last quarterly reports E/M paid out $571,000,ooo in pension and retirement $$$. In 2008 they have paid out $1,147,000,000 into the same bucket of retired employees. Again, $1.1 billion in 6 months. Last year they paid out nearly $2 billion in pension liabilities. E/M is one of the largest employers in the world. So, you do the math. If Obama, Pelosi, and Clinton "take the profits" of E/M who will pay these pensions to these former employees? Will hard working blue collar E/M people lose jobs? And will E/M raise their prices to meet the increased demands as profits tighten and pensions increase. Bottom line: YES. Obama/Hillary/Pelosi + Opposing Drilling + Taking Profits = Disaster for a good swath of working Americans and people across the world. Labels: #dontgo, Exxon/Mobile If you haven't been following this... start now!
Bloggers and Twitters across the Internet are demanding that congress reconvene to vote on offshore drilling. While Pelosi has closed the Capitol building... congressional Republicans have stayed put to protest Pelosi's refusal for an up or down vote on drilling for our own natural resources.

As many Romney supporters follow the legal happenings related to traditional marriage, I thought I would point out this blog: California Marriage Defense. The California Supremes recently overturned state law and found a heretofore unknown right for any type of relationship between humans to be endorsed by the state through marriage. Voters in CA will have the opportunity to amend the Constitution on the matter in November. A fellow Mitt blogger started up the blog on the subject. Check it out. If you believe in the cause of traditional marriage, go to Protect Marriage and give a donation. If you don't believe in the cause, then you can yell at us at California Marriage Defense.

I hadn't read much about Sarah Palin, so this was an interesting place to start. Some people think she is a major contender.

Phoney Obamamania has bitten the dust.

Not too shabby. Check it out here.
Dick Morris argues against Romney for VP in this short piece. What Morris fails to recognize is the extent to which Romney energized many people. Romney's performance was not as lackluster as Morris suggests. Prior to Super Tuesday, Romney led in popular votes. Romney's problem came with fighting a multi-front assault from Huckabee in Iowa and John McCain in New Hampshire. It was difficult for Romney to beat both Huckabee and McCain, as it was for Huckabee to beat both Romney and McCain. Morris' criticisms are as true of Huckabee as they are for Romney. In fact, one could easily switch their names in the piece. Huckabee only won places where evangelicals had a strong showing. The rest of the party wasn't hungry for his fiscal liberalism and nanny state tendencies, even if he did tote a gun and hate gays.
Do I think there are reasons for McCain not to pick Romney as a VP? Sure. Morris' suggestion that a pick from the center of the political spectrum would help McCain is not out of the realm of possibility (although many people continue to believe that what is needed is more energy from the right). Nevertheless, there are many people out there, like myself, who want to see Romney win. Romney as VP candidate would energize many people who have been sitting on the sidelines since his withdrawal.
