I know you didn’t want McCain, but we’ve been telling you all that a vote against Romney was a vote for McCain. THompson failed to stop McCain in Iowa (his bare 3rd-place finish wasn’t enough). Thompson abandoned New Hampshire — if he had worked hard there, he could easily have taken 5% from McCain.
Giuliani never was going to beat McCain once Rudy lost favor as the darling media personality.
Romney as flawed as people said he was was the only candidate who could stop McCain.
BTW, Huckabee might have been able to, and would have been better on gun rights and many other things, except that he made some deal with the devil and turned into a McCain puppet.
BTW, I would actually feel better voting for a Huckabee/McCain ticket, than a McCain/Huckabee ticket. I don’t want to groom Huckabee for a run in 4 years, but as President he’d be better than McCain except on gravitas and McCain would have that as the VP.
But now there’s no chance of that either. IF Romney had won, and you hated Romney, you’d have the change to get Huckabee enough votes for a brokered convention where Huckabee could try to woo McCain to the VP slot. Oh, never mind, McCain wasn’t taking the VP slot.
Romney was the only shot at stopping Giuliani and McCain. I hoped Fred would do it, but he proved not up to the task. And since Romney was rejected by conservatives until it was too late, we got what I could have predicted last year — McCain.
There’s still hope, but it’s going to take a lot more than a few conservatives now. And unfortunately, it’s a long shot and in the meantime we might destroy McCain so that even if he wins the nomination he will never win the election (some would like that, I’d rather not have Obama as President).
So other than a few freepers who actually like McCain, and Tennesse Nana who thinks that this is great opportunity for an affirmative action VP slot appointment, we are pretty much all going to have to work hard for something, but I don’t know what yet.
If Obama, or even Hillary, loses to McCain, it won't be long before people here wish they hadn't. McCain in the White House would give the liberals far more power than they have ever had in history.
Well being that Florida is a winner take all state , and the Huckster didn’t have a chance , i’ll let you guess as to who I turned out the vote for .
I worked hard today , in fact very hard . Between my business and getting my voters to the polls , I’m exhausted and dismayed that McPain actually won . Never thought i’d see the day .
The Huckster has done immense damage on McPain’s behalf . Maybe McPain thinks he can win without the base , even McPain’s mom knows better .....
