No.
I read right here that it was only Giuliani who could beat them.
This “Crossover” vote nonsense for McCain is not backed up by facts and needs to stop being regurgitated.
You can’t have RECORD DEMOCRATIC TURNOUTS in states, and at the same time claiming that the dems are showing up and voting as Republicans, especially when Republican turn out in the primaries has been lower than democratic turnout.
This “crossover” claim is an absolute lie, and I don’t give a damn what radio talk show host pinhead is telling you otherwise, its just not backed up by the facts.
Hillrod, perhaps
Obamamania, nope.
Would McCain beat Obama or Hillary?
NO!!!!!!!!!
McCain wants to unite the country. He needs to because what he really wants to do is reform entitlements before the baby boomers retire.
Nope, he doesn’t have a chance.
Even without all of his many and ugly skeletons being played out in the Press, he still does not have a change.
Add in the coming revelations concerning his affairs, his cheating on his wife who remained faithful to him while he was in prison, the re-hashing of the Keating-5 scandal, his treatment of POW/MIA groups and just the hint of corraborating with the VietCong and Russians while he was POW himself and he is toast ladies and gentlemen!
George Bush had a pretty nice popularity rating going into his 2 elections and he won both times by the skin of his teeth. Remember the hanging chads? Remember the Ohio recount? I have a hard time seeing how McCain can possibly tip the scale towards the GOP and come out the winner when his popularity is far worse than Bush even during Bush’s darkest days.
The Republicans are divided, dispirited and demoralized,,,while the Democrats are energized, passionate and united.
Since McCain cannot unite and energize the Party--it will be ugly this November.
However, the damage gets even worse as conservatives at the local, state and congressional levels will be permanently damaged as conservatives sit home (especially in the close races). It will not be pretty.
McCain can’t win.
On the one hand. He will never convert the 10% of the conservative base that he needs the most. They see him as collaborating with the Democrats and principal will stand in the way.
On the other hand, the media which has been holding him up will return to the Democrats and McCain will be ripped to shreds.
Conservatives can stand against him and send a meaningful message as he losses or they can hold their nose and validate the Republican conservative sell out, as he losses.
On the one hand we at least make a step toward reclaiming the party. On the other we continue down the pathetic spriral we are in.
In a word, No.
How would we notice the difference?
My husband and I have been having this argument. Personally I believe McCain will be skewered by the MSM within the next month. He’ll be portrayed as the old white guy, weak on immigration, weak on taxes, they’ll trot out the Keating Scandel and before it’s over he’ll blow his temper and give them more fun. They’ll even show his temper through events like when he told Senator Cornyn from TX to “F*** O**” over immigration.
If the nominee is Hillary, sexism will be involved. If the nominee is Obama, it’ll be race cards that get played. The MSM has chosen the President. Election over.
We lost a great administrator. A man who has vision. A man that has run defunct organizations and brought them to life. He reworked a sad very left State as best he could being that RATs and a liberal Court were nearly impossible to work with.
Go ahead and lets hear how bad Romney was. Get it on, but let me remind you Romney haters, the vast majority on FR voted, at one time, 69 to about 6 for Romney near the final days.
Not a chance.
Anything can happen, but given the split in the GOP over McCain I’d say the election is the Democrats to lose.
Does it matter? Either way, we'll have a socialist lib in the white house.
Democrats voted for Ronald Reagan in swarms. My parents voted for a Republican those years. A conservative will win the general election whenever the Republicans get desperate enough to offer one.
That being said, I think McCain beats either of the two.
I believe with all of my heart that a lot of Obama’s “support” is artificial.
In my opinion, he is getting tons of votes from white men who would normally vote GOP in the general. There were a group of states in the primaries with open tickets, meaning one could vote for any candidate in either party. My thinking is that they voted for Obama simply to keep Hillary off of the ticket. I remember hearing on the evening of Super Tuesday that an unexpected amount of white men were voting for Obama. If that is true, it works with my theory.
With that theory, it seems to me that the majority of those men will vote for the “republican” in the general election.
I will vote for the republican on the November ticket, as long as he and his VP selection are BOTH pro-life.
