That leaves us with McCain. Months ago the hope was that Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson would benefit from the personal attacks on Giuliani and Romney; I guess that didn't happen.
Every successful organization requires cooperation and expanding the group with a tolerance for differences but with the understanding of the similarities. This has not happened and the consequence is predictable--unanticipated rise to power of someone who steps into the void created by the confusion and emotionalism personal attacks.
Hispanics want wide open borders and amnesty, they will propel McLame to the presidency in California and beyond.
Besides, it will provide very chep labor for employers and the American taxpayer will again pick up the tab for all the expenses associated with open borders.
This msm that we keep claiming is dying seems to still have a lot of power. They define the narrative that most people who don’t pay a lot of attention see every day and don’t question.

Great post Shrinkermd, the question then becomes “What can we do about it”?
The divisions that have been created are enough for McCain to drive a truck through perhaps all the way to Minneapolis.
“McCain is now clearly the favorite for the nomination”
FAT CHANCE! Absolutely NOTHING has been settled.
A lot of DemoRats crossed over in Florida because the Democrat primary had no delegates.
This election cycle has been SO MANIPULATED by the DemoRats. Early primary and Caucus votes allowed independents (including DemoRats) to vote Republican.
The beneficiaries??? Juan McCain and Ron Paul.
Never in my life have I felt a national election cycle has been fixed after ONE MONTH of actual state voting then now.
We are going to have to get REAL UGLY TO STOP MCCAIN.
“The Florida result also showed once again that running against immigration, even illegal immigration, is the fool’s gold of American politics. Mr. Romney won decisively among voters who considered it the most important issue, but that was too few voters to matter. Mr. McCain did well among Cuban-Americans and other Hispanics.”
I wonder if those voting for McCain realize they are voting for amnesty? Also McCain turned back Romney because of his slime ball tactics, proving he was lying SOB.
“Mr. Romney nonetheless won narrowly among Republicans, and more broadly among conservatives, which at least gives him hope that he can be competitive next week.”

Um, what’s going on with the “Republican” primaries?
Why are we allowing the MSM, the Democrats and Independents to choose our nominee?
I keep asking: who is voting for McCain?
If he wins that nomination I’m staying home election night. :( Well who wants to try to choose the different side of the same coin?
The Wall Street Journal consistently favors open borders and cheap labor for employers.
Also, the rise of an unstable man with an uncontrollable temper with no loyalty to any other than himself and the democrats to be in control of the country for four years.
What a scary scenario. I will not sleep easy for at least 4 years if not longer.
“Sunshine for McCain (Conservatives And Their Discontents)”
Allow me to paraphrase a song from “The Producers”
Spring-time for Mc-Cain and Hellary...
Jeez I’m sooo depressed.
It looks like it will take a Huckabee endorsement of Romney(for VP spot?) before Super Tuesday to keep McCamnesty out.
The Wall Street journal would have supported Lennin if there was a chance of getting Russian cheap labor. Economic conservatives are too focused on money to give a damm for the future of the country.
I would compare Huckabee to Perot in this case. Clinton won by dividing his opponents, so has McCain. Now think, how can McCain win the general election when most of his support will really vote Democrat, and conservatives will not support him in the campaign, and will only tepidly choose him on election day? And you know many will simply stay home, despite the fact that they are hurting themselves, and playing into Hillary’s hands. McCain = President Hillary.
“That leaves us with McCain. “
WHY IS THERE NO MCCAIN TRUTH FILES?
In truth, McCain is a more dangerous and RINO/liberal candidate than every other candidate except for Huckabee.
Maybe we should have left Rudy alone and gone after McCain from the get-go.
So will the hatred of Hil or the suspicion of Obama be enough for St.John to overcome the MSM, conservPubPurists altogether?? The MSM will crucify McCain no matter what. So Pubconservs are in a real crunch and bind. We cannot allow either of the Dem socialist pacifists to appoint SCOTUS jurists, Appeals et al, to disembody our military, to stop tax cuts et al. And then we cannot know if McCain won’t wussy out and love joining with those same socialists to stop any real Pubconserv agenda. It is a real bind. I will vote for Mitt in Ca. but know McCain will win overall there. Then in Nov., will my dislike of any Dem prevail over my conservcommonsense? Events themselves may judge my vote. I just cannot fathom any real American voting for the two Dem socialist pacifists! Even McCain is not that.
McCain shall not get my vote. Not in the primary. Not in the general.
