Far from it.
Because he is the GOP nominee! Yes, John McCain's speech - evoking a love affair with internationalism and want to destroy American sovereignty - is held in high esteem by more than 23% here because at least some of those folks think that if you are not with McCain, you are with the terrorists Democrats. Nothing could make that subset of folks less likely to vote for McCain. Even if McCain added Hillary Clinton as his veep, there is a hard-core of party loyalists who would vote R, deluding themselves that voting for such a pairing is the "lesser evil", adamant that America cannot survive four years of 'Al Qaeda sleeper Obama'. Prostitutes get by with the same mentality.
"Did you enjoy the name brand dirt pie?"
YES, I LOVED THE DIRT PIE! I am much more likely to buy dirt pie after tasting it, because I saw fecal pie beside it on the shelf, and lord knows I don't want that"
I'd rather buy the no-name brand or bake my own thanks.
Far from it.
There is a lot of time between now and November... if we use this time wisely and “Just say NO to John McCain” maybe... just maybe John McCain will pick a REAL conservative VP (ie Duncan Hunter) and immediately after announcing -— step DOWN from the race, allowing Duncan Hunter to select HIS VP... I think this would excite the base enough to turn this arround.. but what are the odds of that??? It will take a miracle.. and God is still in the Miracle business :)
