fyi...

McCain could take it all on the first ballot, with only 35% primary support, due to winner take all rules.

A new poll of Ohio voters seems to mirror nationwide sentiment on the economy and the election: Worries are mounting, as is support for Sens. Hillary Clinton and John McCain in their respective party races.

So if peeps are worried about the economy why would they elect McCain? He is clueless on the economy, by his own admission.

[bshomoic]

Good point... but the more the people become “worried”, the more they will turn to an establishment figure they know.

Huckabee needs to drop out.

This Ohio voter isn’t for McCain.

Besides being clueless Clinton and McCain helped put us in the positions we are in. Their aye and nay votes are not done in a vacuum, they have real consequences.

The smartest man in the room...any room...just isn't electable.

I cant understand why Steve Forbes would endorse McCain.

Shaking my head too...

[Dagnabitt]

Yup. That’s it. McCain is a well-known brand name and it takes a lot for the luster to wear off the product, even though, in this case, it has long ceased functioning.

Here I come to save the day.....!
Mighty Mitt, is on the way....!

[psjones]

So much for change, we’re going to end up with the same old crappy choices if mccain and hillary become the nominees.
I don’t believe those polls that show mccain is the only one who can beat the dem candidate. Polls this early are meaningless, didn’t we learn from the Giuliani polls.

[Petronski]

Willard is so . . . ELECTABLE!

[Lily4Jesus]

From you mouth to God’s ears.

Go Romney go!!! and may God continually bless you.

Not this Ohioan.

Here in OH, things are bad. People like McCain here. Go figure.

[LibLieSlayer]

They all want jobs in an insane administration. Forbes lost me years ago... he is only Conservative with his own wallet.

>>>I cant understand why Steve Forbes would endorse McCain.<<<

My guess....

McCain has no policies, no programs, no core that is really his own. He was steered by Kennedy on McCain/Kennedy. Ditto by Feingold on Campaign Finance.

McCain would be very suseptible to advisors - maybe Forbes wants to be his advisor on economics and tax policy.

In many ways McCain is more dangerous than Obama. Obama is young, smart and a quick study. Notice how he got Volker on his team to help with economics.

McCain is too old and too slow to learn. He will be run by his advisors. How dangerous he will be depends on who he listens to last!
