can I take back my vote for McCain? lol
I voted for Sarah...
Here's a little more...I kinda posted in a hurry
According to Brooks, the reason McCain lost was -- naturally -- that he ran as a conservative. If only presidential candidates would spurn polls, modern political history, evidence from campaign rallies, facts on the ground and listen to the wishful thinking of Times columnists!
If McCain lost because he ran as a conservative, then how come I knew McCain was going to lose before Brooks did? About the same time Brooks was touting McCain's uncanny ability to attract independents, I was writing, accurately: "John McCain is Bob Dole minus the charm, conservatism and youth."
Using the latest euphemism for "liberal," Brooks complains that "reformist" Republicans like John McCain are forced to run for president as smelly old conservatives: "National candidates who begin with reformist records -- Giuliani, Romney or McCain -- immediately tack right to be acceptable to the power base." (Some "tack" so far to the right they almost adopt the positions in the GOP platform!)
In another sign of how popular liberalism is, liberals have to keep changing their name, like grifters moving from town to town. Liberal Republicans used to be known as "moderates," then "mavericks" or "centrists." I guess now they're "reformists." Why, liberals are so popular they have to disguise themselves for fear of being mobbed by an adoring public!

mccain lost because of the bailout
WTF is up with your profile? Are you some kind of hacker?
Gotta love this woman.
The financial crisis in general. The perception of it...that’s the primer. I’m sure the majority of voter knew very little about the votes.
You are barking up the wrong tree
Can I nominate Anne for Chair of RNC?
Your link goes back to last weeks article???
A straw pool I think.
Only a theory and it doesn't hold water
Refresh, it will move you out of the time warp.
Hit your refresh button. The link is the same week to week. Your cookies probably took you to last weeks article automatically.
LOVED that! :)
That was what grabbed me, too. It’s a great line.
LOL! Syncro is simply gathering the same info as Google and others.......spooky...huh...;)
they sure did when mccain dramatically suspended his campaign and had nothing to show for it during the first debate
Did he get a "thrill" up his leg?
Who would ever take seriously a dork who writes for The New York Times? They get a lot of readers who follow the elliptical metrocon mazes of intellectual neo-conservatism at The New York Times, do they? As edited and approved by the Council on Foreign Relations... Conservatism Lite.
