LANSING, Mich. - Sen. John McCain, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, picked up a total of 50 GOP national convention delegates from Michigan and Louisiana Saturday.

Republicans met in both states to resolve how to divvy up delegates to the national convention in September.

Thirty-two of Louisiana's 47 delegates told The Associated Press they intend to vote for McCain, and three others also are expected to back him.

Likewise, a majority of Michigan's presidential delegates also say they'll back the Arizona senator now that primary winner Mitt Romney is out of the race, although it's still unclear how many will go to the national convention.

McCain has it in the bag. We might as well get used to it. Now let us win this together. He can’t win without us. His darling maverick status will burn away like a fleeting memory once the Democrats have their candidate nominated. He’ll need conservatives because Rhinos don’t know how to fight they just make good big fat targets.

Most of what is presented as analysis is nothing but wishful thinking.

The Republican party and the country continue to move towards the Socialist left. Careful what you wish for America it might come true!

That's right. The numbers don't matter.

Huckabee can still win!

Isn’t Huckabee in the Cayman islands somewhere? Better anywhere but on the TV.
