Sorry AuH2O, but it's gone. McCain tried to be Kerry's running mate, and now he wants to be Obama's running mate.
He sure as hell doesn't want to be the REPUBLICAN nominee.
Screw him. Buy Gold and pray the next 4 years goes by fast.
Here is a real political truth, guys.
There has never been a republican candidate who won the election without winning Ohio. McCain needs to win Ohio, just like the rest of them.
While the conservative vote is spread around Ohio, it is a fact that the huge republican numbers are in southwest Ohio. There has NEVER been a republican winner in Ohio who did not win SouthWestern Ohio. Never. This, too, is simply a matter of record.
McCain just insulted one of the most popular conservatives in all of southern Ohio and threw him under the bus. Additonally, he insulted a guy who also happens to be a conservative talk show host. It IS having repercussions, and I heard talk show host Bill Cunningham demand that McCain apologize to him, because he has now lost Cunningham’s support.
Cunningham is on daily on WLW, one of the largest signal stations in all of America, and I listen to it every single day of the week. He is on weekdays, evenings, and has a regular Clear Channel nationwide show on Sunday evenings. He’s used as a spokesperson in more commercials than I can even begin to remember. He’s a regular guest on all our sports talk programs. He’s all over our TV.
In short, McCain just threw away Southern Ohio. If he loses SW Ohio, then he loses Ohio. If he loses Ohio, then he loses America.
That is reality, and it’s not just some wired Freeper talking through his tin-foil hat.
Conservatives need to come up with a Plan B real fast. At this point, I’d even support Ron Paul over this poser.
Oh, yes he does... and he's PERFECT! He doesn't want to be the CONSERVATIVE nominee!
