McCain Emerges as the GOP Establishment... (Drudge headline)

MCCAIN EMERGES AS THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT...

Republicans are waking up to the fact that McCain is our Hillary, Romney is our Obama, and Huckabee is our Edwards. Just like the Democrat race, the GOP race has come down to the broken Washington establishment candidate vs. the outsider advocating change, with a southern populist spoiler who doesn't know when to drop out thrown in.

Good comparison, but I would point out that unlike Edwards, Huckabee has at least won something. BTW, I’ve heard some people saying Edwards dropping out would help Obama, as they’re splitting the anti-Hillary vote, while others say it would help Hillary, as they’re currently splitting the white vote. Any thoughts?

Reagan wasn’t GOP establishment.

Huckabee and Edwards both know what they are doing, in a very close race for both party’s nomination their delegates will go for a very high price.

I'll be very interested to see how McCain becomes both the Establishment and Maverick candidate at the same time.

McCain will defeat Hillary. Romney will not.

Have you seen what the Clinton machine did to Obama? Imagine what they will do to a Mormon????

PS. I am not a McCain supporter. I wanted Fred.

McCain has all the endorsements from the pork-barrel Senate, the open-borders governors, and the New York Times and liberal establishment MSM.

With God all things are possible. That is why Romney will defeat Hillary.

McCain will defeat Hillary. Romney will not.
They gave the same rationale for Ford in 1976.
Ford will defeat Carter, Reagan will not.

I kind of think that most of Edwards’ voters would go to Hillary because they are overwhelmingly White.
