Go Ahead and Endorse McCain

So a week after calling it quits, Mitt Romney returned to the campaign trail to endorse Sen. John McCain. This announcement certainly was shocking but after all their little fights and slams, you still had to wonder if it would come. And hey, this move could help Romney earn a future GOP nominee. But for a result like that, McCain either has to win, or the Democrats have to screw up.

This endorsement is just another statement of how McCain is the only candidate worthy of the Republican nominee, despite the fact that Mike Huckabee continues to hang in there. And after all, do you support the guy who is a veteran and once POW, or do you support a former minister?

Though McCain has recieved yet another hand of support, this does not mean he has won the some 280 delegates of Mitt Romney. Why? Well the delegates may not care to go down that same path of their former candidate that leads to supporting McCain. For some of the delegates, McCain will have to wait and see if he can gain their support at the national convention, since those delegates are from caucus states. The other delegates are free to go and support whoever they please.

Word to the delegates, following the leader doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Would you jump off a cliff if your leader did? In this long haul of an election year, these now leaderless delegates are going to have to make the right call. And is that call to just go ahead and endorse McCain?
