You jerks screwed my candidate

No, that not the case. The Conservatives have a long history with McCain. They have every reason to doubt McCain would do anything different as President McCain then he has done as Senator McCain. They have ever reason to look at McCain, especially given his last 8 years, as being the wrong direction for the party to be taking. To dismiss the valid serious concerns Conservatives have with the Republican Candidate, 1st in 30+ years who is running on a promise to raise taxes if elected, as mere "sour grapes" is both unfair and unwise.

It will be interesting to see if the Dems and MSM tip their hand on how they will deal with McCain. If they do and he explodes before the convention or before he has all the numbers nailed down, it could present the Republicans a problem.

They probably both did not want anything said that could be interpreted incorrectly and were scared that either they or an adviser might inadvertently miss speak so probably declined any invite.

I am also anticipating a battle over the super delegates if the race ends up that close.

Timmy is making the argument to Huckster about why he should get out. You are draining resouces, you are embarrassing McCain...

Like Timmy cares about McCain and Republicans.

Huck maintains he is staying in.

It makes them seem fair and balanced.

A most insightful observation Snugs. I suspect you are right.

I am dreading what dirt they will bring up on McCain nearer the election for I have no doubt they will.

The Primaries are rigged. That doesn’t mean they are not honest competitions but that they are structured and gamed as much as possible so that the Party Chiefs, not us peons, pick the candidate.

In a way they are similar to how we pick our local candidate for MP at the end of the day the local party chiefs and central office get who they want even if all local party members get a vote. It is engineered that the person that they want becomes the most viable candidate.

Are you saying that parties do not decide the rules for their own primaries?

Great post and much of what you said I think was true of Blair in 1997 in Britain.

Timmy now brings up Rush’s comments on the nominee being either McCain or Huck.

Huck just loves Rush although he’s disappointed in what he said. Says he allows people to put information in front of him that is not accurate. (Rush does not allow himself to be mislead, buddy.)

Tim just played a clip of Kenneth Copeland, whom I have never seen before. He looks and sounds deranged.

Fred Thompson endorsed McCain, a major disappointment.

A lot of times, it’s state law, not party rules, that dictates an open or closed primary.

Morning AB, All.

Hope today finds you all in good form.

What’s the deal with Huckabee winning so big last night?

And how about Bush on Fox News Sunday practically endorsing McCain?

Timmy tries to imply that Huck is interfering with a congressional investigation because he has some kind of relationship with Copeland.

Boy is that ever a stretch.

I feel the same way he does. Thompson, Hunter, and Tancredo out. They never really even had a chance.

They never really even had a chance because the DBM picked McPain for us. They INSISTED we should support him for POTUS. Also the crossover voters, both dim and independents in the primary voted for McPain.

Personally, I think it is time for a national primary day, and only individuals who know they cannot vote because of business reasons of deployed military or stationed out of their precinct should be allowed to vote absentee.
