In 1976, we did not know who the nominee would be until the convention late that summer. We already know that McCain will be the nominee. To be fair, the example argues in favor of getting behind McCain now rather than after the convention.

Besides, Ford was a pro-choice Republican who gave us Justice John Paul Stevens. While he has alot of defects, McCain is pro-life.

And Ford wouldn't shut up about how pro-choice he was. I remember him on Larry Kind lamenting "what's happened to my party?" Meaning obviously how he thought only "crazies" were pro-life.

What we know and what we think we know are two different things.

The convention isn’t until September. And a lot can happen until then.

If McCain is the nominee, why do we need a convention at all? Why not just annoint him now and we can start our side of the campaign now? Think how much carbon emissions we can save by not having 3,000 people flying to Minnesota!

McCain is ambivalent on abortion and he is FOR embryonic stem cell research. So, a pro-life position is not his strong suit.

The man is a disaster waiting to happen. I’m leery why the pundits, DC elites and the talking heads are so anxious to get us to line up behind McCrazy so quickly.

He has made no concessions to the people he needs to win the election. So why give up your virginity in the first date?

The GOP puppetmasters can kiss my rear end. Clinton is the biggest threat to the Republic since the Civil War and they run this disloyal clown?

You would need a stellar GOP candidate to beat either Clinton or Obama with the electorate in the mood it is in, for change and hatred of Republicans.

McLooney isn’t it.
