To: CurlyBill
How and why have we abandoned the issue of illegal immigration? Because the establishment (both parties) and MSM are completely ignoring the issue.
To: Blue Turtle
"The delegates are split and the base is certainly NOT in favor of him."
Maybe the base isn't the base anymore. Maybe the base has shifted. Look at the votes. The candidates supported by "the base" - Thompson and Hunter - got so few votes they dropped out early. The problem isn't that "the base" has been screwed by the RNC, the problem is that the "base" candidates generated no larger appeal, and that the three remaining candidates each have major defects that render them weak in a general election: Romney - charisma deficit and Mormonism; McCain - temper, age, and too many liberal positions; Huckabee - narrow base, no grasp of international issues, and pre-disposition for flaky comments.
(Note: In calling Romney's Mormonism a "defect," I am not stating my own position, but the fact that many - we have seen it here tonight - will simply not vote for a Mormon, and that includes secularists and conservative evangelical Christians.)

Georgia: Fulton County only 44% reporting, VERY HEAVILY Romney, large population, also significant votes in Cobb and Gwinnett.
McCain will drop to 3rd, and possibly Romney take 1st.

Kiss my behind. The President doesnt enforce religious doctrine, he guides national policy.
National policy which is determined by .... religious doctrine. Would you trust a Muslim to formulate national policy? An atheist? I sure wouldn't.

LdSentinal is projecting Hillary will win California.
To: Girlene
I saw origional projections that McCain would win 600 total after tonight. He could still get there but if he doesn’t, it is still a real horse race!
To: Clemenza
No youre not alone in hating Huckabee...I hate all of them right now. I hate the RNC.
Its going to be a BAD five years.

To: TheLion
I am not understanding your answer. Do you think that there is never a situation in which what a candidate believes should influence whether a voter chooses him.
I also don't understand what you are saying about Europe. I thought people left Europe because they were persecuted for their beliefs. I don't think that someone not agreeing with my beliefs is persecution.
For example, some people believe that a candidate who believes the world was created in six days is not scientifically grounded enough to be President. Do you think such a candidate would be being persecuted for his religion?
No one is entitled to be President.
To: Kevmo
As I said, I meant bitter-sweet wistfulness.
