He’s moved ahead of the two Democrats by consolidating support among Republicans

Well, then again, "Republicans" are not the same as conservatives, so Juan will be needing those leftie votes that he's been "procuring".

It will be interesting to see if the lefties figure out that neither Hellary and B. Hussein will be getting out of Iraq.

However, if the Rats can saddle President McCain with the loss, the Rat congress will defund and McPatsy will be helpless and "the man who LOST the Iraq war". The MSM will see to it that that is the only propaganda the proletariat hears.

Wowsa! Now, who didn’t want McCain to be our nominee? I’d rather win with McCain than lose with Mitt.

With me, it’s all about the Supreme Court.

John Wayne McCain just sounds better than Barack Hussein Obama.

I do not think this story belongs in “Chit/Chat” and should be changed to the “News/Activism” forum.

Thanks.

OpChaos is done when the general election begins. It was entertaining, but the dems’ infighting was pre-ordained before the showbiz plan was launched. Their nominee, like goofus Kerry, will come close, if not successful, in whipping McCain. That’s all that can be reasonably predicted right now.

Interesting analysis of the numbers here :

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/04/why_pennsylvania_matters.html

EXCERPT :

A Clinton victory over 10 points will allow two critical things for the Clinton campaign.

1) Given the likelihood that Obama will overwhelmingly carry black voters and young voters, a 10+ point Clinton win, will mean Obama performed terribly among blue-collar whites. This will exacerbate angst among undecided superdelegates, fully aware that the most reasonable Democratic pathways to 270 electoral votes include wins in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey.

2) A double-digit win keeps Clinton in position to be able to ultimately claim a victory in the popular vote. And a win in the popular vote is critical to the Clinton campaign’s ultimate strategy for the nomination, as it gives superdelegates the rationale (and more importantly the cover) to buck all the emotional investment in Obama as the nominee.

Here is a quick guide to sort through the inevitable post-PA spin.

—Obama wins: Race is totally over.

—Clinton wins by 5 or less: Race is effectively over.

—Clinton wins by 6-9: Status quo, which favors the front runner Obama, particularly as the clock winds down.

—Clinton wins by 10-13: Clinton remains the underdog, but her odds of being the nominee will be considerably higher than the conventional wisdom in the media.

—Clinton wins by 14+: Totally different race, as Clinton will be on a path to claim a popular vote win that will give her every bit as much of an argument as the legitimate “winner”. In this scenario anything could ultimately happen, including neither Clinton nor Obama becoming the eventual nominee.
