"But this much of Karl Rove's electoral vision remains true: If conservatives, especially social conservatives, stay home in November, the Democrats will almost certainly win."

LOL, good grief, WE have been fighting the Democrats alone for years, while McCain was undermining us and threatening to join them!
Hilarious article.

Nobody doubts John McCain on foreign policy and national security. Excuse me. I do. We have a Republican candidate who wants to shut down GITMO, end coercive interrogation techniques of known terrorists & give them access to the intelligence data that we have used in order to identify them as terrorists. I have many doubts.

Fred Barnes and the Weakly Standard spent literally months denigrating anyone who dared to say “Gee..Open Borders, Amnesty, and millions of Mexican’s families heading North would be a bad thing” as “Xenophobic”.
Now, they stand alone.
go figure.

If I am going to take it up the rear, I prefer it is not from the person I voted for.

The democrats are going to win no matter what we do. Hillary Clinton has a huge, well-oiled nationwide machine. Barack Hussein Obama is charismatic, young, articulate and a sort of “Chauncy Gardner” that one can pin one’s hopes and dreams on and hear what one wants to hear when he speaks. The GOP, on the other hand, will have a short, pugnacious, old, moderate-left RINO that doesn’t excite the base, whatsoever. Also, the democrats are flush with cash, while the GOP is comparatively broke. Please tell me how the republicans win in November.

If conservatives, especially social conservatives, stay home in November, the Democrats will almost certainly winNo way. Uh-uh. Not possible. I've had any number of huffily indignant Juan McCain shills splutter at me, over the past several days, their Absolute Received Wisdom that we lowly, wretched social cons are all far, far too (their own words) "fringe," "marginal" and "insignificant" to merit even the most minimal attention and/or regard of the Republican party. Therefore -- logically -- we must ALSO be too "fringe," "marginal" and "insignificant" to effect any significant difference in the results of this election, whether we glumly cast ballots for Vicente Fox, Jr. or otherwise.
I'm calling shenanigans on the author's analysis. ;)

Now John McCain is the presumptive Republican nominee, and he needs to find a way to win over the skittish conservatives. Conservatives are "skittish" for not trusting Juan McAmnesty?
What has he done to win the trust and support of conservatives?

Boy, that's one weak article. I must have missed the part in High Noon where Gary Cooper poked Harry Morgan in the eye and made a deal with the bank robbers before asking Morgan to stand with him.
I know a lot of people liked High Noon, but I always found it kind of boring. I was more of a "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" kind of guy.

"But this much of Karl Rove's electoral vision remains true: If conservatives, especially social conservatives, stay home in November, the Democrats will almost certainly win."
The way I got it figured, Obama will be the next POTUS. Overall, I'd prefer him to McCain or Huckabee. Conservatives need to regroup, go for Congress seats, local grassroots work and produce real conservative leaders, and not re-annoint RINOS.

My nominee for The Single Greatest Western Film of All Time isn't a terribly well-known offering... but:
absolutely well worth the time and effort to seek out, if you're a hard core fan of the genre:

Structural weakness in both the dhimmicrat nominees 2nd division.
Barak or Hillary are very beatable, now the rest is true, the big money is heading for the Dhimmis, the activists among the Republicans are not thrilled by Mad John, so even the “free” help his campaign could have received is moving off the table.
Hmm...now “what if” Huck is the nominee for VP to gin up the acitivsts, Barack does another “Let’s invade Pakistan” and McCain’s Senate buddies put him on to some of that lobbyist cash?
And McCain does put CA Republican moderates and their cash on board as well.

They said they don’t need me. They said I am irrelevant. Let them win without me.
