I will gladly vote for the Republican nominee, whoever that may be. Ron Paul may be the exception but that will never happen.

Personally my ticket would be McCain/Hunter. I don’t care for McCain at all but think Hunter is the real deal.

Reason I like the ticket is because it could beat whoever the Democrats put out there. McCain would pull enough “undecideds” and/or Democrat votes to make the difference.

Reason #2 is the MSM will absolutely try and destroy any Republican except McCain. He’s a tough target for them and they know it. I think Hill or Obama would dread him more than anyone.

MHO of course so fire at will.

Your thoughts on McCain are very logical.

Old Democrat canard. No, he wouldn't. He'd cause GOP conservatives to stay home, throwing the election to the Dems. Which was the whole idea, when the MSM were telling us that lie the first time around, eight years ago.

Reason #2 is the MSM will absolutely try and destroy any Republican except McCain.

Another Democratic journopolemicist's lie. Look what they did with Bob Dole in 1996. In the spring and summer of 1995, Clinton took his Chinese reptile money -- the Chinese intelligence-agency money he and Hillary took from John Huang, Johnny Chung, Ted Soeung [sp?], and the Riadys -- and gave it to Dickie Morris, the toe-sucker, to mount a major market-testing, focus-group, and advertising campaign in third- and fourth-tier markets, "under the radar" (example: Jackson, Mississippi). This was when he and Morris developed the themes and voter intelligence that would get him re-elected in the teeth of the GOP sweep of Congress.

Meanwhile, MSM drones like Jonathan Alter, writing in Newsweek, were telling the GOP delegates-to-be that they just had to nominate Dole, in order for the Republican Party ever to be taken seriously again.

The MSM's line, coming out of the hate-a-thon they started against Republicans after the '94 win, was that the GOP, having swept both houses of Congress, was somehow becoming irrelevant and falling off the map of the known, respectable world by becoming dingbats who <snort!> actually reflected the will of the People! Talk about irresponsible......!

So, in order to get back into the good graces of the MSM, the GOP had to show that they were really serious people after all by nominating someone with gravitas, someone with dignity. Someone named Bob Dole.

Why Dole? Because Clinton and Morris's test-marketing work with likely voters had shown that old, acerbic Bob Dole was their best possible matchup in a contest for reelection.

So that's what Alter told Republican readers. Think he didn't know about Tricky Dickie's polling and marketing information? Fat chance he didn't.

And so, of course, as soon as the GOP nominated Dole, the MSM tore into him, and Clinton crushed him like an empty beer can.

So much for gravitas.
