See that answer Anyone But McCain shows to me that people would rather throw away an election for President to the other party than accept there are variations within the Republican Party.

You cannot accept that one large group of people are going to agree on all concepts - however for one to cross party lines at this point and hope the other side will win the presidency is a shocker to me.

Might even be best for the Republic Party if they left.

Great should be a hot seller come November. I will stock up

Don't you actually mean that the GOP has become like one of those pod people in The Invasion of The Body Snatchers? They look like the real McCoy, but scratch just beneath the surface and you'll find an obvious counterfeit.

That's a very good investment. You could double your money. But don't forget to allow for a future proposed carbon tax.

OB was not very good in debating Alan Keyes

...and as a result Senator Keyes has had a brilliant career representing the great state of Illinois, eh?

Obama will be the next President, not because he will out point McCain in a debate, but because his campaign organization will be stronger on the ground, his fundraising will be much greater than his opponent, and because image and likeability elects more Presidents than debating skills.

Ok, sorry, did’nt have a clue about it.

McCain’s “winning strategy” was McCain-Feingold - AND - unfortuantely - worked only too well.

I do not take kindly to lectures from K-Lo as she is known at NRO online or whatever Hugh Hewitt refers to as on his radio show.

After the two Bushes (moving toward the “center”), what have we gotten, or will we get?

It's easy to list the good things that we got from GW Bush. Tax cuts, judges, a well fought WOT...and there have been numerous lists on this board that show other good things.

Don't vote for McCain if that is what you wants, but please spare me the rationalizations.

What you WON’T “get” is a socialistic quasi-Muslim at the pinnacle of the Executive branch and Commander-in-Chief.

You are right. What you will get is a globalist/socialist ready to inherit the Baker "moderate" agenda. Amnesty, LOST treaty, NAU/SPP, and etc... McCain would pick up where Bush leaves off.

Thank God the Conservatives won't let him cross the threshold of the White House.

[roamer_1]

The base will rally to Mccain as the election nears, the Hunter/Tancredo fringe crowd will whine as usual but they are insignificant to the general Conservative voting population.

The Christian Right, even by themselves, will be enough to crater McCain's campaign wishes and White House dreams, not to mention the rest of the Conservative base- Most of whom will not be voting for him.

08 losses will be larger than 06 by an order of magnitude. The Republicans can thank the moderates for that, for they vainly thought to hold on to power when they should have ceded it to the Conservatives after the amnesty mess.

Image and likeability elects more Presidents than debating skills, like President Lincoln?

No candidate has ever won with the “youth” vote. Theymake up a small percentage of the voters, even if they’ve increased the numbers they are turning out. I think when the two of them debate...it will be noticeable to the adults, who seems more presidential.
