Well, I don’t know. All I can do is stand and cheer as each RINO drops out. I can’t seem to get enthusiastic about any of them. Hopefully, I’ll be able to support the last RINO standing against Hillary. But, sheesh, what if it’s McCain?

Pray for a brokered convention! Draft Thompson/Hunter!!

It may well be time to seriously weigh the pros and cons of a President Obama, if that is the only way to keep Clinton and McCain out of office. To cast a vote for McCain... for the first time in my life, the party would be asking too much.

Romney is the limit of how far I can go in terms of holding my nose while voting. With Romney there is some plausible hope - even if it is a remote hope - that some things might go our way over the next 4-8 years. With McCain there is none - not a shred, not a glimmer.

Why even have a GOP, if all the party can do is give us another Democrat to choose from? If my ballot is McCain vs. Obama, I may just well roll the dice on generational turnover, hoping that he's not familiar enough with the levers of power to do any real, lasting damage.

A McCain vs. Clinton general election, on the other hand, would force the creation of a third party to represent the people the GOP doesn't want to represent. Maybe we can hire an illegal alien to do the job that our GOP leaders don't want to do.

This is possibly the ONLY way the GOP can remain viable with conservatives. We need McCain, Romney and Huckabee to each take enough delegates to force a brokered convention. Fred Thompson was almost everyone's first or second choice, it is still a real possibility.

McCain winning Florida could have actually helped conservatives, because if Romney won he would have gotten a lot of momentum and probably been unstoppable, I don't think McCain will.
