Is it possible that California could go for a Republican for the first time since 1988? One of the cable news networks reported last night that McCain had come within a few percentage points of B. Hussein Obama in CA.
What could make this happen?
#1. The referendum on the ballot that would reverse the State Supreme Court Ruling on same-sex marriage. This will bring Conservatives out in droves. (Hopefully out of their hatred for McCain they won’t vote for B. Hussein Obama.)
#2. The craziness that keeps going on in B. Hussein's church. I've got to believe that the majority of Californians are not crazy enough to align their politicl ideology with those nuts; the latest being Fr. Pfleger. Like most other Americans, the majority of Californians have got to realize that B. Hussein is the product of 20 years of indoctrination by preachers who hate White people.
#3. The fact that many Californians who would vote Democratic believe that B. Hussein is a closet Muslim who would be sympathetic to Islamo-Fascists; his autobiography indicates as much.
SIDE BAR: If, God forbid, there is another Terrorist Attack on our soil before November 4, Cindy McCain can start measuring for drapes in the White House.
#4. The large Hispanic vote in CA. There is a wide gulf between the Mexicans and the Blacks in America. They just don’t like or trust each other. The only thing that might offset this would be if Bill Richardson is on the ticket in the VEEP spot. And...
#5. There's a lot of ticked-off, Hillary-supporting, women out there who, if they just stay home, along with many men who feel that Hillary has been dissed by the media and the Obama Campaign, can give McCain a 5% point gain.
Hey, it could happen!
He’s certainly enough of a liberal for Cali that’s for sure.
possibly, California demographics have changed so much that anything should not be a surprise.
Not unless there is a serious mass deportation ...
Shhh! Don’t let the Dems hear this. They might decide to oust Obama in favor of Hillary.
Not sure I care.
No
But...

I think you underestimate the level of dementia in this state. Too many people have smoked pot for too many years. They either are paying no attention to the Trinity Church story or actually think it is "cool"
The racist voters will come out strong for Obama as they have across America during the primaries. The Marxist voters (which includes many Hispanics) will come out strong for Obama.
Mexifornia electing McCain’t? Fagetaboutit! The Messiah is too appealing to the fruits, nuts and tacos too.
I don’t think it’s possible, but I am glad to pretend that it is, if that will prompt Obama to blow more of his wad in CA.
Susan Sarandon vows move to Italy or Canada if McCain elected...
And the promised flight of anti-republicans begins for the new campaign season. I wonder if this one will actually leave, since all those who vowed to depart if Bush won decided living here under his presidency was better that leaving as they promised to do.
Does the author know the difference between possibility vs. probability. For instance, it is possible I can win the lottery today, but is it probable.
This is why in Criminal Court cases you hear Probability vs. Possibility. Any thing is possible, but Probable I would say not.
In a word, no.
I have to take back all I said about Rush.. his strategy was brilliant...just brilliant....
We seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum on this. The Jewish vote in CA is big...McCain gives them a viable alternative. You wait and see.
In a word, NO!
Nope.
Many voters in my area don't think Feinstein, Boxer and Pelosi are liberal enough.
Do you live in Tehran?
In order for McCain to take Kalifornia, he would have to spout his “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” crapola again, and at that point I wouldn’t care if he won or not.
Is it? (Depending on how many of which constituency Obama alienates with his VP pick.)
It’s possible. McCain vs. Obama certainly widens the playing field for both parties. My concern is that McCain won’t have enough money to really campaign in California and he might have to spend more than he would like in states like Georgia with large black populations. I think it is more likely that the electoral map from 2000 and 2004 stays about the same, but McCain gets a lot bigger share of the popular vote and picks off a few smaller states like New Hampshire.
This is a joke, right?
Well, my father, a lifelong Democrat, is voting for McCain (at least Pop is consistant!). Mom usually goes along with him, so that is two ‘Hillary Dems’ in California for McCain.
Social conservatives who came out in droves in 2004 to vote on a ballot initiative, swung Ohio to Bush which turned out to be the state he needed to be reelected. I can definately see the same thing happening even in Califoria. In fact, lets try to get that issue on ballots across the U.S. McCain would win in a landslide.
I think McCain has a shot. Hillary crushed Obama here.
Arnold won big in 2006. I think it depends on how big a joke Obama turns out to be.
Its good to talk with Californians just to make sure we outside the state have a good understanding of what goes on there.
I spent almost a month out there this spring and about nobody was paying attention.
That being said, McCain has an outside shot at winning CA. He also has a shot at winning PA too.
Not a chance.
Look at the ‘04 results. Kerry won CA by 1.2 million votes.
600,000 votes was the margin he won LA county and 600,000 votes was the total margin combined he won the 5 largest bay area counties of San Francisco, Alameda, Santa Clara, Contra Costa, San Mateo counties.
Kerry took San Francisco county 220,000 to 40,000.
Just 6 counties need to go the same as ‘04 and McCain will be slaughtered here.
The bay area commies are entrenched, it doesn’t matter who the “D” is they’ll vote D for dumba**.
Yep. It's how Sanchez "beat" B-1 Bob Dornan.
We knew there was massive fraud, had proof, and the 'pubiecan national party didn't lift a finger to challenge it.
Actually come to think of it, they did life one finger. For Dornan...
Well, he is a Kennedy, by marriage...
LOL! OUCH! (and true...)
..if he loses CA by anything less than 10 points, I’ll eat my hat—with salsa...
If ‘ol “B1” Bob hadn’t run for president and instead paid more attention to his own district he would have won. Too bad his ego got the better of him.
True. Even with the known and proven illegal alien votes, he lost by only a few hundred votes.
It COULD be another Reagan/Mondale blow out. Maybe.
McCain may turn NH red (while losing everything down ballot,) but I think there will be a number of former red states from the past 2 elections turning blue. I don't expect McCain to do anywhere near as well as Dole did.
Yes, but the Republicans wanted Dornan gone almost as bad as the Democrats did, so nobody cared how he was beaten, as long as he was. Had control of the House turned on his election, then the Republicans and Newt would have made certain only legal votes counted, but they had seats to spare back then and saw an opportunity to get rid of one of those conservative types who embarrass them.

My take:
Because of Operation Chaos, McCainiac will win in a land-slide.
Our job #1 will be to convince as many people as possible that they must also vote for their local/state Republican candidate who is running for the House or Senate seat in November.
We must convince them that they will be making a major mistake if they vote for the “RAT candidate (even if he seems/is more conservative than the Republican candidate), for this reason: McCain will not be able to come through on all the promises they like that he has made to them if the ‘RATS have a large enough majority in Congress to block everything he wants to do. We must keep ‘RATS from having enough votes to overturn his vetos.
If we can increase our numbers in Congress on McCain’’s coat-tails, we (conservatives) will be in a much better position to exert our influence to stop him from advancing the parts of his agenda we hate.
I cannot overstate the importance of our “Job # 1”, enough, but we should hold back until we get closer to the election (when the polls show McCain’s big lead) before we go into full-court-press in implementing it.
” I think it depends on how big a joke Obama turns out to be.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Obama is a very big joke indeed! He may actually be a bigger joke than both Clintons and AlGore rolled up together. I never expected to see anything remotely resembling this clown running as a serious candidate for president.
The money quote?
...an opportunity to get rid of one of those conservative types who embarrass them.
how can #2 & #3 both be true? if they’re upset about his church why would they think he’s a muslim? they contradict each other
