That should drive the conservatives and right wing talk show hosts both insane and totally out of their skin.
Does that mean Anne Coulter will be campaigning for Hillary Clinton?
Huckabee cannot, at least not without Romney's delegates, overtake McCain. Paul has far less delegates.
It looks like it is final. McCain will be the GOP's 2008 presidential candidate.
Howard Dean, in response to the report, sent out this email:
Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney are done. John McCain will be the Republican nominee -- he's the only one with a reasonable path to the nomination.
So how do we beat him? We stand up -- right now -- start fighting, and show the American people that he's not who they think he is.
We can't wait for Hillary or Barack to win the nomination. Now that the Republicans have a candidate, the dollars are starting to pour in from special interests who will do anything to beat the Democratic nominee. They're just waiting for us to decide so they can start smearing.Here's what U.S. News and World Report recently reported about how the RNC is getting ready...
[RNC Chairman Mike] Duncan and his aides want to be ready to go on the offensive against the Democratic nominee presumptive in an effort to define the opposition candidate on GOP terms. Opposition research is already well along, and the plan is for surrogates to talk to the media around the country while a TV ad campaign in key states and media markets as soon as the Democratic nominee is determined.We must be ready to fight back, and fight back hard, today.
Now that we know our opponent, it's time to build a national effort on the programs you and I have worked so hard to create over the last four years - from our cutting-edge technology to our voter protection programs, it's time to shift gears.
Then Dean asks for money. Get used to it.
