A lot of trolling down the drain.

McCain is blessed by having such lousy opponents — thus he receives the gift of lowered expectations.

[popdonnelly]

Hillary and Obama are the reason.

[misterrob]

The choice, once again, is the lesser of two evils. Obama or McCain? The more Barry Hussein speaks the more people find McCain less unappealing. That's not an endorsement of McCain but rather a reaction to the fear of what an Obama presidency might do to the US.

>> To pull that off, John McCain has attracted disgruntled GOP voters

Attract? Nah. But as the truth about the Rat candidates sinks in, Obama and Hillary! are REPELLING GOP voters into John’s arms (where else can they go).

[rintense]

Looks like some clearly miss that knife in their back.

I don't.

[rhombus]

A lot of trolling down the drain.

Now THAT's funny!

[deport]

To pull that off, John McCain has attracted disgruntled GOP voters, independents and even some moderate Democrats who shunned his party last fall.

---

Some of the disgruntled are returning while others have left and moved on to other parties seeking their fame or obscurity.

[CindyDawg]

Darn. I missed that poll.

[MplsSteve]

I’ll vote for McCain in November - but he’ll get no financial or volunteer support from me.

Any money or volunteer effort will go to other candidates in my state.

[Thudd]

Given McCain is a clunker, but if conservatism is going to survive beyond just arguing on internet forums, maybe it's time to stop obsessing about the presidency, since that's lost in any case, and start focusing on workarounds, in the congress and state governments.

Strengthen the things that remain.

Moving the national election day to April 15 is the easiest way I know how to bring about conservative policies and conservative politicians ... I can’t see continuing to subsidize “sorta kinda sideways sometimes” conservative candidates in the hopes they get a couple of issues right.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows John McCain leading Barack Obama, 47% to 42%. The presumptive Republican nominee also leads Hillary Clinton 50% to 40%. Among unaffiliated voters, McCain leads Obama by eight percentage points and Clinton by fifteen. Daily tracking results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time (see recent general election results).

Overall, among all voters nationwide, McCain is viewed favorably by 55% and unfavorably by 42%. Obama’s ratings are 47% favorable and 51% unfavorable. For Clinton, those numbers are 42% favorable, 56% unfavorable (see recent daily favorable ratings). Among unaffiliated voters, McCain is viewed favorably by 55%, Obama by 47%, and Clinton by 34%.

Here's the reality. The staunch patriots here on FreeRepublic and across the county fully realize that McCain will stab them in the back multiple times and will betray them. We know this for a fact.

We also know that we cannot allow this country to fall into the communist hands of Obama, or into the Marxist hands of Hillary who will use the IRS as a tool to crush her enemies.

Simply stated, American patriots have resolved in their own minds that they will take a McCain shiv in the back because they love this country more than they hate McCain and are willing to personally sacrifice as much.

“...people preferred sending an unnamed Democrat over a Republican to the White House...”

The trouble for the Dems is now they’ve named them, and they are both anti-American Leftists.

[DManA]

The more we grip the more we get. You think if all conservatives just shut up and jumped on the bandwagon he’d be talking tax cuts now? Keep the kvetching going until November I say.

[AD from SpringBay]

McCain is not winning conservatives. They are going to him by default because otherwise we’ll end up with Carl Marx or the great Socialist Shrew.

[dfwgator]

More like, we know that Obama and Hillary would be much worse, so we are just playing the hand we’ve been dealt.

[red state girl]

There are two main reasons I am voting for McCain - Clinton & Obama.

McPain wins nothing back
It's only because we love our country more than we hate him
