I think it bears noting to everyone that it was Richard Nixon, the last true conservative bruising battler we had, who said the GOP nominee needs to run like hell to the center to win the general election. It does not hurt for our nominee to devise a strategy that wins. It does hurt if anything is done to elect the democrats who are every bit as left wing as George McGovern, who was trounced by "Tricky Dicky". And I use that title affectionately.

Some of you geniuses think it was smart to help Hilary tonight. If you can be that convoluted then you should be tricky enough to win whatever it takes.

But, don't forget Nixon was in a position to run for reelection in 1972 because he defeated the winner of the divided 1968 Democratic Convention, Hubert Humphrey.

God willing, a divided Democratic Convention is just what we'll have this year, too.

Ahem....

...there is no need, no need at all, for McCain to run any damn where. If he wasn’t already solidly sitting in the center, he was to the left of center.

McCain is NOT running to any center as he’s been anywhere but on the right for many, many years.

This is no stragery on his part. McCain is NOT a conservative and is not following any sort of move anywhere.
