Fox News projects John McCain the winner in Arizona and Mike Huckabee the winner in Tennessee.
LOL...bears repeating.....
BTTT!
Well he won’t be president. Praise the Lord.
Arizona chose both Clinton and McCain. Sheesh!
You know, the funny thing is: Huckabee loathes Mitt, McCain loathes humankind and Mitt, Mitt dislikes (okay, by now he should be loathing) McCain. Similarly, a large portion of conservatives despise McCain, and dislike both others somewhat less (judging from the polling numbers).
I know a lot of people won’t vote for McCain if he’s the nominee and I’ve heard a few others say the same about both other candidates.
But honestly, if the convention brokers & nominates Thompson (nearly happened for Reagan in ‘76, did happen for Harding & Garfield), what conservatives woul not vote for him? Even the most enthusiastic supporters of McCain haven’t badmouthed Thompson. Nor have I heard the same level of distaste from the enthusiastic supporters of the other candidates.
I just wonder - if we get Thompson, who wouldn’t support him?
YEah, I’ve switched to CNN too. Those “panel all stars” on Fox are getting on my nerves with their McCain cheerleading. I’ve actually found CNN reporting much more objective.
We are basically screwed anyway. Huge swaths of conservatives will not lift a finger to help any of these rinos.
“Clinton won the presidency twice. Was that the hand of God?”
If so, God sure has a sadistic sense of humor.
Reminds me of the pastor’s eulogy in that South Park episide, Grey Dawn: “It is sometimes hard, in times like these, to understand God’s way. Why would he allow nine innocent people to be run down in the prime of their lives by a senior citizen who, perhaps, shouldn’t be driving? It is then that we must understand, God’s sense of humor is very different from our own. He does not laugh at the simple ‘man walks into a bar’ joke. No, God needs complex irony and subtle farcical twists that seem macabre to you and me. All that we can hope for is that God got his good laugh and a tragedy such as this will never happen again.”
From my post above:
One has to think that Thompson’s half-ass effort kept him from winning this thing. After watching tonight play out, he’s the candidate he could have pulled from both McCain and Huckabee voters. Instead, it’s looking like a shared ticket. The vacuum was there, but Fred just couldn’t fill it. It’s a shame. I’m glad that at least the Republicans are putting up their strongest general election candidate and not Mitt Romney. He would have been a disaster.
It appears that you are right. The Lord may be choosing McCain and a lot of us are going to be practicing our acceptance skills.
Geez, people, how much of your own koolaid have you been drinking?
In your right mind if you like lying, narcissistic, know-nothings running the country.
The Republican party became a joke when they ignored Duncan Hunter. They've lost me for this election. I hope McCain gets the nomination so he and the party hacks can be totally humiliated this Nov.
No, his ego won’t hold back. He’ll run for a 2nd term unless his health forbids it.
*I* sure as hell didn’t vote for him!?!?!
Who voted for this turd? Fess up!
We tried to recall McCain in 2001. But then 9/11 happened and we let it go..."for the good of the nation."
My God...were we ever wrong.
