Mitt Romney made a surprise announcement today that he is suspending his presidential campaign.
There has been a lot of talk by the analysts on TV about how Romney and Huckabee have been splitting the conservative part of the republican party. I think that is an accurate statement because of their 2nd and 3rd status in many states. The question that will be answered in the future is where are Romney supporters going to go? Will they go to McCain or Huckabee in the short term? If they go to McCain, he will easily wrap up the nomination. If they go to Huckabee, the race is still on.
What if McCain wraps up the nomination, where will the conservative vote go?
McCain is not a conservative therefore it is unlikely conservatives will support McCain . McCain sponsored a campaign finance reform bill that has ban campaign ads 30 days before a primary and 60 days before a general election. He also sponsored a bill that would have granted amnesty to illegal aliens. My guess at this point is they will stay home in November or rally for an independent or third party candidate. Some conservatives may go against their principles and support McCain anyways.
Who do you think conservatives will do/support?

I think that most conservatives will vote for McCain if he gets the nomination. He might not be "conservative enough" but he's still a Republican.
The Southern Republican vote might swing in favor of Hillary, however, if McCain gets the nomination, which would be quite interesting.
I think people should look at the other side of the ticket though...
