Maybe someone can post a table with the remaining states and how their delegates would have to split to keep McCain out.

Thanks

A deadlock would be a huge blessing and a second chance.

Yeah, but Fred Thompson endorsed McCain.

And Fred gives me my marching orders.

Baring that, we need a grass roots movement to take back the house and senate with anti amnesty conservatives. Put handcuffs on whoever is elected and neuter their ability to govern.

Vote for any GOPer other than McCain!

Totally on board with that.

As an aside, now is a good time to get the groundswell moving for conservative causes. If we can focus equal energy on getting conservatives voted into office in the local and congressional races, we will almost certainly have another Contract With America and keep the liberals from getting the annihilation of our nation they so desperately want.

Ohio is later this month and i can tell you that I will not vote for McCain in the primary and if he receives the nomination, an act of GOD will not prevent me from writing in my choice. I will not be told who I must vote for because of the need for the unity of the party.

We need to focus on the House and Senate. A democrat or Mcain in the WH is no different. To restore the conservative movement, we need to start with Congress, then the WH....

I agree we should try. Here in KY we’re pretty late, but you can count on me. I won’t just stay home, that’s for sure.

Karl Rove was on Hannity and Colmes and showed in the numbers by the states where Huckabee would HAVE to get over 83% of the vote in the remaining states. Unless you could get 100% of the people who can vote OUT to vote and all of them voting for huckabee, i don’t see how this can work.

Jim,

As long as its not Huckabee I’m with you. I’d be happy to see a brokered convention.

I’m not voting McCain in November. Now that Romney’s out, a brokered convention looks pretty good...if only to give the media pause to start bashing conservatism so early in the campaign season...they don’t want to anger conservatives too much until McCain wraps up the nomination...it’s open season when McCain wraps up the nomination, which may hurt the lower slates of conservative candidates.

Not a bad strategy, and besides you give the Huckabee candidacy a purpose other than loitering around the ballot hoping to get lucky and trying to make a little luck of their by own sticking pins in a McCain voodoo doll.

Finally....a possible way out of this mess that the MSM funneled us into.

I was depressed, thinking he was locked in but now it appears otherwise.

Not only could we avoid a McCain presidency, the Republican Party would receive a huge message.

* Provided they can 'read' the message and figure it out without a lot of consultants having to be called in.

Send a LOUD and CLEAR message to the GOP! No more RINOs! We totally reject John Benedict Arnold McStain! Vote for any GOPer still on your ballot other than McCain! You REALLY want to shake them up? Vote for Ron Paul!!

Jim, I love you, but you have the political instincts of those Japense scientist in B movies who think the way to save Tokyo is to have BOTH Godzilla and the Smog Monster battle it out over the city.

A Huckabee surge and a deadlocked convention would do nothing but force McCain and Huckabee to team up, making things TWICE as bad as they are now.

Respectfully this is looking more and more like sour grapes. Instead I think it’s time for people to face the fact that the GOP isn’t a conservative party. There are many out there that don’t care for the evangelicals and socials who in turn don’t much like the pro-business types and the limited government types. In short people cannot see that the GOP is made up of many flavors but the diversity of ideas is unwelcome.

Fracture the GOP at your own risk. The conservatives on their own might amount to a bloc in the 30’s percentage in a national election. Formidable yes but not enough to win without reaching out to other groups for some common ground. And for what it’s worth, they didn’t really do much in the republican primaries either. Conservatives who want people to see it there way are hypocrites for not being willing to work towards some commonality with others who don’t want democrats in the WH and Congress.

All or nothing is a recipe for disaster.

My first three choices didn’t make it and I can’t help but think if people hadn’t spent all of their time ripping each and every candidate down we might have been able to produce a true leader instead of a collection of misfits and guys with no real chance of winning a national election.

I, and everyone in my household here in Texas, will be voting for Mike Huckabee on March 4 and I hope that enough other here will do the same!
