Don't be silly. We all know they fired Eason Jordan, repudiated Ted Turner, moved Wolf Blitzer to sports, and made Christiane Amampour a weather babe.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- John McCain's victory in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary appears to be paying off.
The senator from Arizona is the front-runner in the battle for the Republican presidential nomination, according to the first national poll taken after the New Hampshire primary.
McCain has the support of 34 percent of registered Republicans in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey out Friday. That's a 21-point jump from the last CNN/Opinion Research poll, taken in December, well before the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary earlier this month.

We’ll have to see how McCain does in republican only primaries. If he doesn’t get the nomination, and Huckabee does, we’re still screwed. Huckabee is as Fred descrided him in the debate and he’s got a record of appeasement towards convicted murderers. He’ll get crushed if he goes up againstthe clinton machine. The more I learn about the guy the more I dislike Huckabee.
All that it tells me is, that people are fickle.
I’m at the point where I don’t know what the American people want anymore. I thought the nation was solidly against amensty. And now McCain and Huckabee are the gop frontrunners. How can conservatives like Fred of hunter be so far back in the polls? Conservatives are suppossed to make decisions based on fact and reasons, not silly bleeding heart reasons.
Memo to CNN: STEP AWAY FROM THE CRACK PIPE!]
(/sarcasm off)
When McCain loses he will become spokesman for depends rather than viagra.
McCain is SOOOooooooo Bob Dole.
simple.
The dinosaur media is not dead.
MSNBC has more viewers than FR.
The solution is to have MORE people on FR and less people on CNN MSNBC and even FNC.
Tell your friends about FreeRepublic.com we we can have more people.
If Duncan Hunter had been a previous governor, he would have had my vote in a heartbeat. If George Allen had not had a very small slip of the tongue, he was my first choice.
I’m sitting out the primary. I just can’t get excited about anyone. There are two or three that I will hold my nose and vote for in the general.
Glad to see that Hunter is holdingt steady at 1%. He should stay in until the convention. It could be brokered and he could be our next president.
What's not to love?
SNORT.
A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.
Thomas Paine
Amen.
I’d love a Fred/Santorum ticket. But what we’ll end up getting is McCain/liberman ticket.
They forgot: IN HIS OWN MIND in the headline.
There was a report that the DailyKos is urging Michigan Democrats to vote for Romney--for the specific purpose of keeping Romney in the race in the hopes that a more lengthy primary fight will weaken the eventual Republican nominee. Since Hillary's only opponents in Michigan are the fringe candidates Kucinich and Gravel, that could be attractive to a lot of 'Rats...although we'll probably see a lot of them voting for McCain too (those who didn't read the DailyKos memo).
You are more right than wrong. It will be McCain, no doubt about it. I don’t have a clue as to he will choose for his VP. Maybe Teddy!
Juan McCain - President of New Hampshire.
Yes and Obama trounced Hillary in New Hampshire.
Bloomberg?
People don’t know McCain was a champion of that amnesty bill. He is denying it. Huckabee is denying his record. The others likewise. (Except Thompson and Hunter.)
Since nearly all of them are guilty of something in this regard, they’d all just prefer not to talk about it.
It’s up to Fred, really. If he can’t bring himself to expose his “good friend” McCain’s shortcomings, we’re sunk.
I’m not making any predictions. This thing is way to fluid for me to stick my neck out.
No doubdt about Mc Cain nomination?It’s wonderfull !
SO YOU FOUND THE FAITH...?
My faith is only in Christ!Sorry !
Otherwise I have many doubdts in politic and many other human activities...
Just keeping fighting for what i believe.
Your absence of doubdt is maybe wishfull thinking!Clearer like that
I should amend that, he is not “denying” his involvement, he’s just not talking about it and saying all the right things against illegal immigration now.
Only Guiliani can save us from Hillary/Osamabama,
Only Huckabee can save us from Hillary/Osamabama, or
Only Romney can save us from Hillary/Osamabama.
Cinos are a dime a dozen, and completelt interchangable.
And we have to consider what the clintons might have on McCain and huckabee. You know they’ll wait until the weekend before the election to trash them.
We once had a queen. We might as well have a president.
We all know his true colors though. People must not forget who the amnesty pimps are.
More likely Joe Lieberman.
I think people on here should get prepared for a McCain/Huckabee ticket.
I think telling people about FreeRepublic.com is far more reasonable a solution.
It is also less expensive and far more lasting.
If this this the case, I will prepare to stay home on election day. I WILL not vote for either of these clowns, much less BOTH of them.
In the end, I believe the right decision will be made by the voters. And, it won’t be McNuts, try as the Lame Stream Media will. I, again, believe, Fred will emerge as the candidate. He’s the only conservative, save Hunter, in the field.
CNN and your flying monkeys - WE DON'T WANT THE RINO BASTARDS!!!!!! CAPICHE????
It’s probably the best most folks can do. But if we have billions, the best we could do is buy a network. So I’m doing my part, hope to contribute to the site next week. But I’d like to see the so-called rich republicans gain control of the propaganda networks so that massive changes can take place.
Coldwater Creek: “Contrary to popular belief on FR, Fred just hemmed and hawed to(sic) long before getting in. I guess that he thought it would be a cake walk.”
Yeah, and running a presidential campaign is just SOOOOO simple. Shoot, just declare and start campaigning. It’s as simple as that. GEESH! (All that organization stuff, like forming a team, raising money, getting on the ballot, creating a campaign web site, forming policy positions, getting out of existing job contracts, etc is highly overrated).
Besides, what does Fred have to do with this thread on McCain? Ah, you just wanted to bash Fred. As for McPain, he isn’t called a maverick for nothing. His support comes from RINO sellouts.
Amnesty will be stopped in the House of Representatives, not the presidency. The House members- even a lot of Democrats- are much more sensitive to public opinion on this issue since they run every 2 years.
Last year, some anti-illegal immigration measure proposed by Democrat Heath Shuler passed by a wide margin in the House, including with a lot of democratic support. It’s safe to say amnesty won’t pass the House.
I like Huck’s support for the Fair Tax, but that is it......I could not support him otherwise, and he scares me he would lie about his support for that and raise taxes etc. instead.
Here you are at #19
“I’m not making any predictions. This thing is way to fluid for me to stick my neck out.”
If voters share the traits of those they support, I can see why you might not like FRed. Which flipper is your flop?
The solution is to have MORE people on FR and less people on CNN MSNBC and even FNC.
Tell your friends about FreeRepublic.com we we can have more people.
If Iraq can let the Baathists back into parliament, then FReepers should allow the Giuliani supporters back onto FR. That is, if we're serious about stopping a McCain/Huckabee ticket.
If you really knew what I have posted, you would be aware of the fact, that I am NOT supporting anyone.
What? If you think that I am supporting McCain, you are sadly mistaken!
All I’m aware of is that you show up on any and all FRed threads and start your insipid little putdowns. Now it continues on unrelated threads. It’s gettin’ old.
Now that would be a FUN race to watch.
I’t really none of your business.
Are voters really this superficial? Voters becoming McCain supporters overnight simply because of a plurality of voters in New Hampshire? Pathetic.
Can I get a link to this thing you’re talking about on DailyKos? The idea that they encourage people to cross over to ‘fuck with’ the other side is just dishonorable. I’m not surprised at all, but that’s good ammo to show someone when I tell them what a piece of crap Kos is.
