I will be stunned if the party nominates McCain. It will indicate a fundamental shift of the party away from conservative values.

Huckabee will not win the nomintation. He won't be able to stand the scrutiny. He will take out other candidates with him-- right now, it looks like Thompson, Paul, and Guiliani, and with the results in Iowa, Romney is on the hotseat. If McCain is nominated, it won't be a fundamental shift of its values, it wil be the expression of the ultimate American value: "just win, baby."
