McCain will get crushed in November. When Obama addresses a crowd it is electric in the room and the crowds are HUGE. When McCain speaks the vibe in the room feels like the early bird hour at Piccadilly’s.

Romney would have stood a chance.

Have to puncture the hot air balloon. Hope McCain knows how to stick a knife in . . . or knows someone that does.

I agree that Romney would have made a much better candidate than McCain against Obama. However, we really didn’t have a true Conservative that we could rally around this time. Part of it is the poorly way Bush has run the GOP and his support of Rinos in the RNC. Bush has not even thrown the conservatives a bone.

Unless McCain can galvanize and enthuse the conservative base, he will be crushed like a bug.
