Bennett crosses to McCain
Sen. Bob Bennett, an early supporter of ex-presidential candidate Mitt Romney, says John McCain "won the Republican nomination fair and square," and has embraced his fellow senator.Apparently Mitt doesn't hold out hope that McCain will be tripped up by news media allegations of cavorting with lobbyists, and has released Bennett.
In any case, Utah's junior senator says it's time Mike Huckabee to toss in the towel:
John McCain deserves the time to unite the party and prepare for the battle in November rather than being distracted by a candidate that hopes lightning will strike even though the thunderstorm has since moved on.A bolt out of the blue may be exactly what is keeping Huckabee in the race. Although it's "mathematically impossible" for Mike to overtake McCain in convention delegates, the former Baptist minister likes to say he's "a miracle kind of guy."
In a blog item, titled "John McCain May Be Screwed: And it has nothing to do with a lobbyist named Vicki..." The New Republic says that miracle may be coming, in the form of some botched campaign financing.
Or how about this bolt of lighting in The New York Times.
Mr. McCain’s likely nomination as the Republican candidate for president and the happenstance of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936 are reviving a musty debate that has surfaced periodically since the founders first set quill to parchment and declared that only a “natural-born citizen” can hold the nation’s highest office.
