It's far from over!
The candidate needs 1,191 delegates to win, and McCain has 97 and Romney has 74, and who knows how many candidates Huckabee will have after all is said and done.
Here's my letter to the editor, which I sent to a couple of newspapers in my area:
"Dear Editor:
While John McCain is a war hero, and I feel a better candidate than any of the Democrat candidates, I cannot vote for him on Super Tuesday.
Here are a few reasons why:
Senator McCain supports human embyronic stem cell research, and the ICC (where the International Criminal Court would be judging Americans). He also was part of the gang of 14, which has stopped President Bush's judicial nominess for circuit courts, etc. from going to the floor for an up or down vote.
I heard a couple of McCain's colleagues say on the radio that he went against the leadership, when the Republicans had the majority, including the culture issues.
John McCain is also the senator that liberal Democrats come to when they want a senator from the Republican side of the aisle. For instance: McCain/Feingold (limits free speech); McCain/Kennedy (amnesty); McCain/Lieberman (50 cents per gallon gas tax increase).
Senator McCain's pro-illegal immigration stance would hurt our national security, as border security is national security. Known terrorists have been caught crossing our borders."
Maybe you'll join me and write a letter to the editor of your own.
This is going to be strange.
This forum may actually be completely irrelevant for the first time in 10 years.
Something I lament.
A thoughtful post Sun
I think Romney needs to play that clip where McCain says something along the line that he does not understand the economy as much as he should.
I think democrats would like to see McCain win. Allan Colmes and a dem panelist were making excuses for McCain regarding his comment about Putin being the leader of Germany. Comes dismissed it by saying everyone makes mistakes. I thought to myself, had it been president Bush, they’d be saying how stupid he is.
Lest we forget, war heroes don’t necessarily win elections.
“This forum may actually be completely irrelevant for the first time in 10 years.”
Not really. We can still limit liberalism as much as we can.
Thank you.
Sorry, I don’t know. Maybe someone else does.
“Lest we forget, war heroes don’t necessarily win elections.”
Nor do they necessarily make the best presidents.
If anyone wants to use any part of my editor’s letter, feel free.
This shows the states we have to work on:

Maybe with Congressional elections although we didn’t do too well in 2006.
well, looks like we screwed the pooch on POTUS choices this go around.
most folks who vote GOP are far more moderate than posters here (who have gotten way too moderate for my tastes)
scary
“most folks who vote GOP are far more moderate than posters here “
It could be, but I think even many conservative voters don’t do enough research, and don’t know what the candidates stand for.
That’s why I believe in writing editor’s letters. Many elderly folks don’t even have a computer, but read editor’s letters, like my aunt and my mom.
indeed, most folks are not well informed or just go on appearance or give what they think is the right answer
Reagan was elected in 1980 and 1984.....28 and 24 years ago respectively...
the 1994 election was 14 years ago
today’s electorate is not the same one that did all that....many of them have gone on to Jesus
“That’s why I believe in writing editor’s letters. Many elderly folks don’t even have a computer, but read editor’s letters, like my aunt and my mom.”
We must reach these people, they rely on Network news. I’ve sent information to Senior Citizen centers. Look them up in your area, or where ever the next primary is. Please write letters to the editor of your local papers.

John McCain Makes Mexican Con Man Top Aide
By Dave Gibson on Jan 30, 08
Once more, John McCain has proven his contempt for the American people as well as his disregard for U.S. sovereignty. McCain has chosen a Mexican reconquista to fill a top campaign position.
McCain has appointed Juan Hernandez as his so-called ‘Hispanic outreach director.’ Hernandez was born in Fort Worth, TX to a Mexican father and an American mother. He served as the director of the Presidential Office of Mexicans Living Abroad under Vicente Fox. He holds dual U.S./Mexican citizenship and was the first U.S. born person to serve as a cabinet member of the Mexican government.
Many of you have probably seen Hernandez during one of his many appearances on MSNBC, CNN, or Fox News. Anytime the illegal immigration debate heats up, Hernandez begins making the talk show rounds. Looking not unlike a Mexican bandito, he sits in front of the cameras extolling the virtues of the Mexican invaders while soft-selling the negative impact they have on this country.
Hernandez has worked for years lobbying U.S. governors to issue drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens living in their respective states. While in his official role for the Mexican government, he pressured Western Union to lower or drop altogether their fees for wire transfers for illegal aliens sending money back home to Mexico.
Hernandez is an ardent supporter of the re-conquest by Mexico of the American Southwest, and hosted lectures on the subject at the Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies in Dallas which he founded in 1995. He once told Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) that the North American Southwest “is not two countries, it’s just a region.”
Here are a few interesting quotes from John McCain’s friend:
“I never knew the border as a limitation; I’d be delighted if all of us could come and go between these two marvelous countries.”
“We have recognized that the Mexican population is 100 million in Mexico and 23 million who live in the United States...We are a united nation.”
Mexican immigrants “are going to keep one foot in Mexico and are not going to assimilate.”
“We are betting that the Mexican population in the United States ...will think Mexico first.”
We though should not be surprised that John McCain would be so closely associated with someone who advocates for the invasion of the United States by Mexican nationals. after all, he himself has spent many hours working on behalf of those same invaders.
After the massive illegal alien protests of 2006, McCain made the following statement; “If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon. The more debate, the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail.”
Under McCain’s immigration bill, even members of Mexican drug gangs would have received amnesty by simply signing a statement in which they renounce their gang affiliation; the so-called ‘background checks’ that illegal aliens would have received were only of the 24-hour variety, which reveal very little (if anything) and would have then been given a six month worker card; Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would have traveled the country handing-out amnesty applications to suspected illegal aliens (Not kidding!), and all immigration enforcement would have ended.
We are currently in the eighth year of a U.S. President who has continuously placed the needs of foreign nationals above those of his own people, and has allowed American citizens to be placed at risk from disease, job loss, and violent crime by refusing to defend our border. We simply cannot afford to elect as President another disloyal American such as George Bush or John McCain.
Here’s a good place to start, give them some information on McCain!
