I made this same argument a week ago, when people here were railing against the "Republican establishment" for picking McCain, whereas it's the Republican voters who've swung for McCain and Romney and not voted for the more conservative candidates like Thompson and Hunter.

It's also called THE INDEPENDENTS AND DEMOCRAT-CROSSOVERS who voted for McCain, in no small part to the MSM taking McCain under their wing and making him seem like a god. I talked to a friend of mine over the weekend, a staunch conservative but not a political junkie. We were talking politics and we got into talking about the candidates. I said, "McCain is awful." and he looked at me VERY puzzled and said, "Really? Why do you think that." I then rattled off about 10 reasons why and he immediately said, "To tell you the truth, I was leaning TOWARD McCain, but not now."

I will say this one more time for anyone who is listening:

THE MSM IS STILL A VERY POWERFUL TOOL FOR THE DEMS!!!
