I think Hutch's analysis is spot on. The theocons will sit it out if Julie gets the nod (which will be especially painful on the down-ballot races). Mittens is so clearly vulnerable on the flip-flop thing. The Huckster can woo them in the south but the big money conservatives will donate to Clinton or Obama before they'll support him.McCain's hope is that with Big Julie and Mitt the Flopper now savaging Huckleberry, he will look like the most palatable option to Republicans and the only one with a chance to beat either Hill-Bill or Obama-Oprah.
So the Elephants will hold their collective noses, try to forget the sins of the past and give McCain the nod.
