No one is saying they won't vote, just that they won't vote for certain people. That is why we have a primary campaign, and don't accept people just because they have staff out here campaigning on the web.

Leftie Don Imus this morning (and every morning) said he is voting for John McCain "no matter what, period."

That's not true. Unless Imus lives in Chicago, he won't live long enough to vote for anyone in 2008.

Just think...if Hillary wins in 2008 and 2012, we could still elect Jeb Bush in 2016 and 2020 and keep the string alive...

By then maybe Chelsea will be old enough!

In January 1999, George W Bush, had just won reelection as Governor of Texas, and was at that point one of the "minor leaguers" in terms of the GOP nomination for President in 2000.

Some might say he still is.

"Get this through your thick skull: Social Conservatives and Religious Right Christians will NOT vote for Giussolini." Then they are a lot dumber than I think they are. What kind of brain says I'm will thrown everything in the toilet because I don't agree with everything? The GOP cannot rely on people who think like that, no party can.

Your political power might be formidable if you can manage to elect someone you like as Senator or Governor first.

I'm just one WhiteGuy, I have just 1 vote, I have ZERO political power. I vote for who I wish, or not if I choose.

In the last election the candidates I voted for for gov and senator did not win. It was still good for me.........

Paul in 2008

I predict that if Barack Hussein Obama Jr. is elected President, he will convert (back) to Islam within his first two years in office.

So nominate someone else that EVERYONE in the GOP can accept.
It has worked in the past.

Oh, good. Most of us get one vote. You just throw it away or use it to make yourself feel smug. It is for you that I wrote my tagline.

If Giuliani were the pick, and it was between him and Hilary, I would of course take the lesser of two evils and vote for Giuliani.

It's pretty clear that the President is becoming a figurehead in US government, anyway, so perhaps it doesn't matter much.

Hillary and figurehead will NEVER go in the same sentence. (Other than that one.)

"None of those minor league candidates will ever have the money to take down all of the top tier GOP candidates."

That's exactly right.

I don't know how the Duncan Hunters or Tom Tancredos can hope to amass $50,000,000.00 to make a run for POTUS. All they can hope to do is influence the other "cash-flush" candidates in the primaries. If they do well enough, they can *maybe* even hope for a shot at the VP slot (doubtful scenario).

Time will tell.

Why thank you, you're so thoughtful!


You just throw it away or use it to make yourself feel smug.

Deal with it.

I didn't write that sentence well. I meant that Obama's lack of experience qualifies him as a minor leaguer, and the only thing that makes him a major leaguer (in Morris' view and a lot of peoples' views, evidently) is the media-driven personality cult that has grown up around him.

I recall several DemocRAT "minor leaguers who came out of nowhere to win...Carter...Clinton...JFK...for example.

The challenge is going to be overcoming the DBM's trashing.

Oh, I'm not concerned about you. But others read these threads. I do it for them. I'm a giving person.
