And all three states are in the economic toilet, though at least Illinois is showing some signs, even a little bit, of maybe getting tired of total Democratic rule.

He won’t carry NJ after being seen celebrating the Cowboys Super Bowl victory.

Illinois has $25,000 per resident state debt (mostly public employee pensions).

I think it’s going to be like California where productive people leave and are replaced by entitlement army members.

Locking them into the Dem column for years to come.

What a shame. The Land of Lincoln has been turned to the Land of Debt and Entitlement. California, New York, and Illinois will all be case studies of what happens when you have unchecked liberalism running amok.

I am praying that the GOP will come to its senses and nominate the Dole/McCain ticket. It's an undeniably true 'Dream Ticket' that just plain embodies all the best traits of today's "Republican Party." IMO, the younger fellows like Jeb, The Mormon Milquetoast, The Fat Guy, and the other hundred or so potential GOP candidates just don't have the kind of experience we need.

Of course, this should not be done, NOT be done I say, unless we rank and file registered Republicans pony up at least $1.5 Billion and hand it to Karl Rove to work his magic.

I can just see the campaign slogan going up all over the country in Red, White and Green....

¡Sí Se Puede con Dole/McCain!
¡Para Tu Futuro!

The primary field on the right is developing in a way that favors candidates closer to the center.

Talk about being right for the wrong reason.

Christie has as much chance of being the nominee as I have of dancing like Fred Astaire. And it ain't because he's 'too conservative'.

The top does not need to win any of those to win in 2016. We won’t see a Reagan landslide again, at least in the current environment and barring an unusual situation. We will see big wins again if we the party gets its head out of its ass.

The last time they ran a conservative, the party only won forty-nine states. Better not try THAT again!...

Can the sarcasm, Right Wing Extremist Tea Partier. Don't you realize the devastation that is caused by so-called "Republican Wins?" It takes a damn lot of time to actually be responsible for running the country ... and actually doing it takes even more.

That is time spent away from representing our larger donors in front of the federal bureaucrats who are in charge of your life, but not ours or theirs. That is time spent away from deal-making with our esteemed colleagues across the aisle who are much better at this government crap than we are, anyway. This is time spent away from the lucrative deals that have made Nancy Pelosi, Orrin Hatch, Mitch McConnell and the Feinstein and Boxer Families multi-billionaires. You want us to starve?

Let's be cool about this, OK? We Republicans want enough votes and enough safe seats to make sure our elected guys and gals get our share of the swag, and the pork booty for our districts. (Not to mention be let in on the plum deals that make us personally rich as Croesus!) But please, let's not go crazy, here, OK? Last thing we want to do is FU our free lunch by making U-No-Hoo angry, which is racist. Capeesh?

Hey, don't look so depressed. Every once in a while we'll get Trey Gowdy or somebody to throw a real barn-burner of a Conservative Speech your way. Cheer you right the Hell up, right?

You might as well pull for Jerry Jones at this point.
