I’ve said it for months, McCain will cake walk this election.. regardless which Dem gets the nod in Denver, they will lose and lose in a landslide the likes of which the country has not seen since McGovern.

These 2 are the weakest candidates I have ever seen in my life, without the added drama of the fact their snipping will very likely split the party by the General.

While McCain has his warts, he looks like Jesus Christ walking on water compared to these two bafoons, and while some conservatives will scream about McCain being the nominee, he will win the swing voters easily by a 2 to 3 to 1 margin if not more.. not to mention the 10-20% of dems who will cross over if their guy doesn’t win.

And if HillBilly gets the nomination after losing the popular delegate vote, the most consistent reliable voting block the democrats have will be gone for a long long time. Black’s will no more march lock step to the Dems... which actually might help them out more than they could ever know.

The Donks must know how I felt when Bob Dole got the nomination.

Let's please refrain from such comparisons. There is no need to further feed his already over inflated ego and delusions of grander.

He may very well take this race in a walk. But he'll do it w/out me. No, I'm not going to vote against him. I'm just not going vote for him. I will see if there are any bona fide conservatives for lower office I can help out, but I'm not holding out too much hope there either. [sigh]

You are living in an echo chamber. The Dems are turning out in their primaries three to one compared to Reps. They are outraising Reps in money even more than that. They control Congress and 30 Reps are retiring this year from Congress.

Hillary will withdraw from the race prior to the convention. Obama will be the nominee of a united party that wants to stop a third Bush term and end the war in Iraq. The Reps are nominating its maverick as its standard bearer and the oldest man ever nominated to be President for the first time. Imagine the position of the Reps down the ticket who will have to take positions on issues like immigration and global warming that are opposite of McCain's. The Rep base will be far from energized in turning out for McCain, especially conservatives.

The Dem internal battles during the primaries will actually help them because they have been able to set up the infrastructure to get out the vote in the general election. Their voters are motivated and energized.

If the economy continues to go south and the insurgents in Iraq stage something similar to a Tet Offensive, we may see a landslide the likes of which this country has not seen since Goldwater.

You've forgotten about McCain-Feingold. Because of it the MSM will be ripping MacQueeg a new cornchute well before the election. By the time they've finished with him, people will believe he breathes fire, has three heads and seven breasts and eats live puppies for breakfast.

Time for the Dems to go away, and a right-flank maneuver on the GOP by a third party.
