I haven't heard this mentioned by anyone, but just sitting around thinking this week...let's assume McLame wins the presidency. He has to resign the Senate.
His governor, Napilitano or whatever her name is, is a Democrat operative. She will most assuredly put a liberal in his stead.
And unless McLame has HUGE coattails (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) he is going to be dealing with a HEAVILY Democrat Senate. Maybe even filibuster proof.
He for SURE will have two former SENATE colleagues (Hitlery and Hussein) whom he will have beaten to get the Presidency. And they won't be too keen on cooperating with him either.
Having McLame in the White House...boy, sure seems like he has a steep steep mountain to climb even IF he wins.
State law requires the Governor to appoint someone of the same party if a U.S. Senate seat becomes vacant.
Arizona law says the Governor must appoint a replacement from the same party based on that parties recommendations.
Well, why don’t you get your ass out from behind your computer and get moving to get conservatives elected to the Senate?
If we work together to get conservatives elected tot he Senate, this will not be a problem.
It’s not an issue, as McCain is exceptionally unlikely to win the general election.
The bad news is, this state is full of RINOS like McCain. Janet will easily be able to find a good liberal “republican.”
liebermann becomes secretary of state, and the republican governor of ct picks a repub to replace him to balance it out.
Unintended Consequences are a b*tch ..
The only problem with your line of thinking is that mc Cain will not beat either Hillary or Obama in the general election.
President Bush is a moderate, and he has almost a year left in Office. As we get closer to the next election, I am starting to miss him already.
Exactly, McCain can’t win in November.
But on the plus side. Us in Illinois might be able to get rid of the empty suit Obama who is nothing but an automatic far left voice and vote on every bill.
I think there are about 50 GOP House Members who will not be running for re-election for some reason or another. This could turn out to be a very big year for the Dems.
How wrong you are, McCain is almost certain to lose to the Democrat in the General Election. I am glad. It will teach Liberal Phony Republicans the party loses when it loses it’s soul. For this to stop we must refuse to vote for liberals in the G.O.P. to teach them we all lose both on policy and elections when we act like the seconds decomrat party.
Rasmussen conducted a poll then chose not to release the data last week.
Scott Rasmussen of Rassmusen Reports conducted a poll of only Highly Conservative Republicans. The poll showed that as much as 16 % of “Highly Conservative Republican Voters”, said they would never vote for John McCain under Any Circumstances.
If this sentiment holds till November, it guarantees John McCain will lose in the General Election. Last night only confirmed this polls data.
Scott Rasmussen chose to pull the poll for reasons unknown. but I suspect it was to Prevent Panic in Republican circles.
The data in the poll noted, that in even if this hostility dies down Considerably even if a percentage of only 3 % of Hardcore Conservatives DO NOT SHOW UP,
“McCain” will never be able to overcome a loss of base support, even if he Doubled the independent vote Bush recieved, in the 2004 General Election.
So it now apprars evident, The people in the Republican Primaries who thought McCain was more Electable in a General Election in 2008, did not believe the Conservative OutRage and contempt Conservatives like myself hold for John McCain.
Thank goodness.
Ah, first an honorable senator from Arizona expresses his sincere beliefs and is humiliated in a presidential election. Much later, second (much less honorable) senator from Arizona learns his lesson, throws away any semblance of integrity given him by the military and cruises to victory? I pray God we survive the upcoming lurch to the left and recover before the crash. As a military member, I loathe McCain. He is an *ss. He may seem to support the military, but wait 10 years and see how many repeat his name only after spitting.
What “steep mountain”?
He’ll do everything the libs insist on, just as he’s always done!
Reaching across and all that rot!
I am starting to think we can recover our majority in the Senate. We need 1 to tie, and 2 to take back the Senate.
1.We have a good shot at the Landrieu seat in LA.
2.Huckabee would be a very good candidate in AR.

Sorry my mistake, I read what you posted and did not notice you said Unlikely To win A General Election we all make errors from time to time as we go though life.
I should have read more closly. Anyways I hope My Post is of interest to you.
McCain is for the reasons I posted above going to have a “Major Reality Check” the day after he loses to Obama, as it appears Hillary Clinton is Not going to win her Socialist Party’s Nonination as last nights elections appear to assure.
Tony Blair said
"George Bush is an amazingly strong and steady President...which is what America and the world needs."
That’s a good rule, and I wish it was in effect elsewhere.
Absolutely, they listened to the MSM and dems.
My contempt is directed towards conservatives like yourself looking for a way to say I told you so. So rather than calling McCain, McLaime or McJuan(clearly racist) lets start calling each other sore McLosers. Better yet lets just find a big open field and we can all gather round in a giant circle and shoot arrows at each other. It would be lot less painful then listening to another we got to teach them a lesson BS. There is no such thing as a conservative majority, their never was. The right side of the middle gets to lead when they realize they have more in common than then the liberals. You have to have a broad base of support. There are not enough litmus test straight line conservatives in this country to fill a football stadium. Think I’m wrong, how many good moral conservatives stay up late checking out porn sites, you think all the millions are some how generated by liberals and moderates? Give me a break, I am more conservative about most issues than anyone I know. Keep your eye on the ball and the big picture. You need to stop with the outrage crap, were are all the so called conservatives? Sure didn’t show up to run for president. Surely conservatives have enough courage to run for president, were are they.
would be nice if he were truly against amnesty, etc, but he isn’t.
I’m shocked. Another snotty lecture post from a new poster who’s salivating over McCain.
Head on over to DU and call THEM racists, you troll.
Well All I have to say about the Porn comment is you sadly are probably correct. This is why we need Morals though to get weak Minds to get back on track and resist satans evil influence.
As for your annoyance with me and others at this site for Wanting to teach the Liberal Republicans a lesson, All I have to say is you are entitled to your own voting habbits.
I will never vote for McCain that’s all. Good day.
McCain’s failed candidacy will GUARANTEE a filibuster proof majority.
That is one of the major problems with McAmnesty, he has ZERO coattails.
I agree with this comment but limited to the 2008 Congressional Elections. McCain will be a huge drag on Republicans but this is going to end up working to our advantage going into the 2010 Mid Term Elections.
The G.O.P. will to put it mildly get it’s rear end kicked. This will show the Liberal Carl Rove and his gang, that if you continue to pick moderate Liberals to Run as Republicans the Party Will lose lose and contine to lose.
With a Democrat to rally us to fight the Socialist for two years into the 2010 Mid Term Elections, we will rebuild out Party’s Majorities. So I see this as a revivial and a chance to tear the party down to build it back up to Conservative Principles.
It takes a good butt kicking somethimes to get the message out to the Power Brockers in the Party Rank And file ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We Will not support Liberals ANYMORE.
So dont be so upset this is a new life in the making.
My Congresswoman is Gabby Giffords (D). She replaced Jim Kolb R-AZ. The RNC refused to back the Republican candidate, so the Democrat won. Rep Giffords has done NOTHING since being elected. It is a majority Republican district. The President of the AZ Senate (Tim Bee) will be running against Giffords in November.
I believe that Bee would win anyway, but with McCain on the Ticket in November, the Bee should win with about 60% of the vote.
The other Republican loss in 2006 was JD Hayworth. This district is basically split evenly Rep/Dem. I don't know if he wants to take another shot at the seat, but he might win it back with McCain on the ticket.
Major flaw in the reasoning of the article.

My models I have seen is McCain will carry California and Azornia but your map is aside from Missing California basicially the model I have projected will be the Nights Map come November.
This is not bad a loss is a loss, and will set a message to Republicans YOU BETTER COME BACK TO YOUR HERITAGE or face more election slaughterings.
:) I have worked quite a bit in my state. But thanks for the insights.
:) We are all on the same team, have the same goals!
Even a RINO Republican is NOT a Democrat in the seat. Fact is, Conservatives need to lean *heavily* on every Republican left holding seats once the dust clears.
With as many Republicans as there are retiring this year, the RATS are going to take their seats anyway. It doesn’t matter what McCain does. The RATS have been busy (with ACORN’S help) registering illegals to vote DemonRAT, so we’ll never win another election. The only consolation we will get is knowing that as soon as LA RAZA and MEChA can get their own candidates elected that the RATS will be kicked out of office too.
Thanks for your input, Mr. Sunshine. :)
Don’t know where you’re living but there are a few States left that might put a dent in that plan.
Guess what?
Mexican is NOT A RACE.
“BUT WHAT IF A MAJOR LEAGUE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CHANGES THEIR REGISTRATION JUST FOR THAT PURPOSE?!?”
Such a person would never make it out of the Republican primary.
