Romney lost fair and square. Get over it already and lay off Fred. He was the real conservative in the race

McCain has had a lot of experience at screwing over the people who are now supposed to vote for him.
This voter will treat him the same way “the maverick” treated us.
Go for it old fart, hope you get those Dems and moderates to turn out for you.
Fox news interviewed an Obama supporter in a Cleaveland diner for brekfast. The man said healthcare was his most important issue and he needed his health insurance costs to go Down. He then said and I’m not lying, I hope he (Obama) doeesn’t act like the rest of them and raise taxes.
I was ready to rally around McCain after CPAC/Romney’s speech.
And still, he will get my vote.
But Huckabee’s lingering and McCain’s embarrasing numbers against him are deflating my enthusiasm, to say the least.
“Hillary and McCain are both experienced experts at back stabbing.”
And, Obama is the epitomy of Ali’s ‘Rope-a-dope’ strategy and that will be very difficult for either Clinton or McCain to counter. McCain v. Hillary is much more winnable than McCain v. Obama.
Will Jewish voters line up behind Barack Hussein Obama or Joe Lieberman's guy? Will Hispanics jump,p to Obama or McCain, will Obamas message about nothing trump substance of serious times?
Hillary was an unlikeable candidate who is also very phony. That did her in against a likable and seemingly genuine Obama. that said he is very very very weak on substance.
If you look at individual states, I think California, New Jersey and Connecticut will all be in play for Republicans while no Red states will be in play for Obama.
I hope you’re right. I have my doubts though. I think the most disturbing thing about last night’s results was that Obama did so well with Hispanics. Not good news.
And like 2006, the large contingent of "I'd rather stay at home true conservatives" played no role.
Sorry, you can't blame the "establishment", whoever thay are, for lousy turnout.
I will vote and support John McCain. I’ll take him any day over the crypto-islamic, unpatriotic, Marxist Hussein Obama.
All principles in honor, but those conservatives who boycott this election are giving free reign to Hussein Obama. Islamomarxist populism will conquer the White House if we don’t prevent him.
Romney was damaged immensely by Fred Thompson, a tired disfunctional candidate who never had a snowball's chance... but was coerced to enter the race and thus took many Romney votes. (I like Fred, but he had no business running)
Romney was also hurt immensely by a small but passionate group of hard-right subliminal Mormon haters who spent the past year spreading disinformation about Romney based on two or three OLD out-of-context 5-second snippets of YouTube video that proved nothing and only distorted Romney's fairly conservative record on social issues.
These Romney haters launched a massive email, snail mail campaign, and had infiltrated American Family Assoc and other conservative groups.
If you need proof of their hatred, consider the fact they are STILL emailing, writing, and posting on FR and other forums incessantly with their hate bombs .... and the man already withdrew nearly two weeks ago.
It is embarrassing in the extreme for such hatred to be couched in the Republican Party.
I can't believe I am saying this, but those who can cross over in the primaries should...Hillary!
I’m afraid I must agree with you. Can you imagine debates in the fall with young, articulate, charismatic Obama against old, crochety McCain? It will not be pretty to watch.
“Even if McCain isn’t “conservative” enough for you, he’s a darn sight better than either of the alternatives!”
Obama would be a disaster for America.
“The CIA-Brzezinski-Soros candidate specialized in duping gullible voters, wants to bomb Pakistan, a country of 160 million people that actually might fight back with nuclear weapons.” Jake Tapper
I financially supported Fred Thompson and then Mitt Romney. McCain certainly is not my 1st choice by a long shot but I will not sit by and watch this guy sail into the Whitehouse without a fight. The military in Virginia spoke last night and if for no other reason, I will support their choice at this point.

Good post. You’re dead on.
It will be difficult to fire up the conservatives with the sad, tired refrain that McCain is “not quite as bad” as Obama.
well if they stay home they will get the obama they deserve
I really hope that McCain can do well against him. But you know that even when a Republican wins a debate, the MSM spin it into, at best, a tie.
Let’s face it, McCain even has to use a teleprompter in his victory speaches. And he’s monotone, and simply uninspiring.
I believe even the McCain backers will have to admit that is true.
“It is embarrassing in the extreme for such hatred to be couched in the Republican Party.”
You took the words right out of my mouth!
