Hugh Gets Real

Hugh Hewitt, always the loyal partisan, has been whistling past Mitt's graveyard for weeks.

Now, the loyal partisan as always, he faces reality, and urges a GOP vote:

At the same time, Romney and Huckabee ought to begin to note Senator McCain's lead and urge their followers to recognize that if they cannot come back they and their followers will have to come in and join the party's eventual nominee. Senator McCain would do well to make a similar statement though his lead is significant and his collapse unlikely. Putting Humpty Dumpty together again cannot wait for St. Paul. Each of the three need to strike some common chords again and again, beginning with why the GOP needs to retain the White House, regardless of who its nominee is.

I'm not ready to buy in; "Invade the world, invite the world" is not my mantra. But it's worthy of note that Hugh the loyal partisan is finally seeing it like it is.
