Why Did Romney Endorse McCain?

The following post by a Huck's Army member is a good observation of the facts surrounding the endorsement of McCain by Romney. After all of Mitt's crazy attacks on John McCain, his endorsement seems like a last ditch effort to stop Huckabee after being stopped by Huckabee at every single turn.

You want to know why Romney endorsed McCain the time he did? I'll tell you why...

I've said that Romney's concession speech at CPAC was one of the most selfish speeches I've seen in a long time. He hid his true intentions within just about every line that came out of his mouth that day. People in the media tried to spin that speech and believed that he was really giving up for the betterment of the Republican party; that he actually cared about the war in Iraq/on terror, and that he was doing everything for "you" (the people/his supporters). All of this of course, was a lie.

Romney quit the race for HIMSELF, not for the people, nor for the Republican party. He quit because he knew none of his plans worked out due to Huckabee stopping each and every plan he had, either with help, or by himself (Huck). Romney's "plan A" was killed by Mike in Iowa, after he spent over $10 million in attack ads. His "plan D" (winning the southern states) on Super Tuesday was also killed by Mike. He just couldn't beat Mike in true conservative states. So he dropped out because he didn't want to spend another $40 million to barely beat out Mike and eventually lose anyway. However, that concession speech was all about Mitt, to set himself up to support McCain in hopes of Mac asking him to be VP.

Romney's endorsement came after he saw Mike win in Kansas and Louisiana and barely lose in Virginia, with the media pouncing on Mike yet again. Romney saw that this was his chance to finish Mike off so that Mike won't get a chance to surpass him in delegate count and was also a great opportunity to suck up to McCain again, in hopes of getting the VP spot. Mitt doesn't like losing, like he said. But what's worse than not getting the "gold?" Getting the "bronze." Mitt wanted revenge on Mike as well as the VP spot. So this was a great opportunity to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Being the businessman he is, he does not want to see no return on his investment. If he couldn't be President now, he wants to at least try to be VP. If not VP, he wants to act like some sort of selfless savior of the Republican party and a leader of the conservative movement. Wasting roughly 20% of his net wealth, $40+ million, HAS to buy him SOMETHING. Too bad all it bought Mitt was a "bronze" medal and a bunch of pissed off supporters. Mike will still press on, not only passing Mitt in delegate count, but at the very least, gathering an army of TRUE conservatives for future endeavors. Mike will either EARN his Presidential nominee or go down fighting and become the leading voice of TRUE conservatives, as well as the Christian community. Mitt will fade away because there's no way McCain would lower himself to ask Romney to be his VP. And if Mac does, he's even more sad than Romney is.

In the end, Mitt endorsed McCain to benefit himself, as usual. Mitt only cares about Mitt. He's so transparent to non-gullible people, it's not even funny. Actually, it is pretty funny. Romney screwed up yet again. Endorsing McCain only further separated his remaining supporters away from him. He came out looking like the biggest hypocrite to those with half a brain, people that knew about his attack ads, dirty tactics, flip-flopping record, and people that knew about his animosity against McCain not even 2 weeks ago. As Mike would say, Romney's just the latest "me too" crowd, nothing more.
