You are correct. Just look at this mess! The Reps have virtually coronated McCain as the presumptive nominee yet this "Miracle winner" has yet to pull much over 30% in any of the lead up Primaries. To boot, he can't even pull more than 26% in today's Washington Caucuses and is barely tied with Huckabee in La.
And this is the guy who is to face either of these well organized, well financed and very, very energized with momentum. Give me a break. It will be a slaughter.
McCain win in November. IMO no way and I stand ready to take substantial, even up bets on this stance.
Only even up bets?
You're right, of course. McCain hasn't a chance against Obama, if he even has the nomination AND the conservatives fall in line.
I heard something interesting. Donna Brazille, I heard, said on CNN (she's on Wolfe's Afternoon show) that if Florida were to suddenly be put into play at the Dem convention, thereby mortally wounding Obama, who didn't campaign in Florida, recall, as it was allegedly out of play...I heard Donna Brazille said that if the Clintons tried any of this funny stuff and it overturned the will of the majority, that she will QUIT the Democratic party.
also heard, again on CNN, that if the Florida thing is overturned, ie Florida's delegates count, than there could be considered another primary in Florida, this to keep Obama from complaining that the rules were changed AFTER his campaign strategy.
which is, heh, what happened.
Anyhow, the fact that the Florida senator is out and about and mentioning about this Florida thing, the fact that all this is even being discussed and Donna Brazille is talking about quitting, well seriously folks, we really need the popcorn.
Huckabee it is said, cannot possibly get the required votes to get the required delegate count-he needs around 700 more and there's aren't enough states left to get him up to the 1100+ votes required.
Huck, it is alleged, wants to BLOCK McCain from getting the 1100+ votes and lead into a brokered convention, whatever that means.
Who could have predicted all this?
