The Hound Of Ulster

It’s hard to know how else to interpret Rudy’s withdrawal and Huck’s apparent inability to gain any traction.  We appear to be drawing closer and closer to a McCain vs. Romney Super Tuesday, which is not exactly my dream ticket.  And THIS sort of thing doesn’t exactly leave me thrilled, either.

The debate also came on a day when McCain scored a pair of major endorsements that could help deliver two of Super Tuesday’s richest prizes.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani dropped out of the race and endorsed McCain hours before the debate began. And late Wednesday, CNN reported that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was in the audience for the debate, planned to endorse McCain Thursday.

With friends like those…

Over at InsideCatholic, Deal’s got an interesting PIECE on the willingness of Catholic conservatives to vote for McCain.  In the comments, Pro Ecclesia’s Jay Anderson expresses concern about McCain’s willingness/ability to apoint solid judges.  (Great.  That’s exactly my concern with Romney.  Is there no one we can trust on this issue?)

Jay LINKS to Novak’s support of a disturbing John Fund story that is not at all encouraging on the judicial front.

I find myself wondering if I am going to want to vote for anyone.  Can’t wait to see the running mates.  If we did end up with a McCain/Brownback ticket, for example, I’d feel much better.  (What about a McCain/Rudy one, though.  Yikes!)

Here’s a little SOMETHING to keep us from complete dispair.

Or does that actually make things worse?
