Some of us around here are fully capable of explaining it.

1. Puff piece liberal media coverage. McCain’s base was the liberal media until Romney dropped out. Then the media started their smears.

2. Pre-operation chaos operation chaos. Liberal style. I’m pretty sure that Rush talked about the mass amount of crossover votes that McCain was winning. I know I read a handful of articles from conservative media about it, but I doubt I’d find them now, I appologize.

3. Huckabee. It doesn’t matter if he’s a huge lib, Huckster wears his christianity on his sleeve and the christians are ...........just.............. sick of being kicked around.

So betwee, puff piece liberal media coverage, mass crossover votes in the early primaries, and Huckabee siphoning off a ton of conservatives who probably didn’t know his stances(or maybe even didn’t care)

That’s how you got McCain.

Explain that one to me.

Several reasons really. He simply outlasted all other competitors with a great media wind at his back. Democrats voting for him. Others dropping out and throwing their support to him.

Sad really.

Too many candidates and perhaps one ringer. I suspect that Fred Thompson worked to get McCain the nomination. Fred ran so far beneath his ability that I was concerned his cancer was acting up again. The the words Mission Accomplished appeared on his web site after McCain won the nomination. At least that is what was posted here.
