My Own Political Party

I was at the gym when Mitt Romney announced at CPAC that he was suspending his campaign. It was very interesting to note that he did not announce his support for any of the remaining candidates. Since he suspended his campaign, his delegates stay with him until he decides to official terminate his campaign. (Note: since I was watching at the gym, I had to read the close captioning. That system is sure not the best. There were many times the commentators mentioned “mormon” and it came up “moron”!)

I think that this is a good practice that should be held by all the Presidential contenders. Why? I hate it when another candidate tries to influence the public by throwing their support to that candidate immediately after ending their campaign. Instead, let the primary process go on as usual. Hopefully there will be a clear front runner and the extra delegates will not be needed.

A big problem will arise if the race is close, which may happen on the Democratic side. Will it be so close that Edwards’ delegates will make a difference? If that is the case, I would sure be upset if Edwards gave his delegates to the one candidate that I was LEAST likely to vote for. It sure does take democracy out of the process!
