I really think McCain will pick up a lot of these votes, rather than Obama. He may not be my first, second, or even third choice, but I’ll take him over any dem that was ever in the race.
“McCain courts blue-collar Democrats”
Well someone has to vote for him.
Hillary has given McCain a unique tool to beat Obama.
McCain now knows which counties went for Hillary, and that is where he needs to spend his time and limited funds.
Especially in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Wisconsin and Florida.
Assuming that anyone in his former base will vote for him.
While I'm sure that he is going to pick up some votes here and there, they are not going to win him Pa or NJ.
Now talk Ohio and maybe Missouri, and thats a good strategy.
Pa will vote Obama. - Take it to the bank.
Things could change and its early days yet, but thats my take on it now.
He would do a lot better if he weren’t screwing the same with affirmative action, his open borders crusade, and globalism.

Good observation.
What's your 4th or 5th choice for next election? The Hildabeast, who I despise, will look welcome to the way we are going. My vote is in the Constitution Party this time - the 6th time out of 7 elections. Not since RR have we had a TRUE American nominee.
Still sore about being left out in the cold I see.

LOL, naw. I am just going to enjoy watching this fossil go down in a beating reminiscent of Carter or Mondale. I can think of no politician of any party that deserves it more.
Then you will throw your vote away as the CP has zero chance of winning.
Fine McCain going after the other parties voters is your job, but go after the Republican/conservative base primarily.
If he could get the conservative base solidly behind him, and then pick up some of the Reagan democrats he can win.
The problem is so much of what he has done and said over the years has made much of the conservative base distrust (or loath) him.
He has created his problems on his own. But finding the votes in the democrats will be unlikely as he is not R.R.
Rendell live in PA so the POLLS will vote dem even if it totals more votes than the registered voters in the state.
Bank on that.
They just have, my friend. They just have.
And O will have mountains of cash, support and MSM spin.
McCain would be fortunate to win by one or two states, and I am not putting money down on that with Intrade, either.
The white peasantry in the upper midwest and PA will vote for Hillary, but will NOT vote for Obama. You can take that to the bank.
Only one or two states, huh? So tell me, Einstein, which state(s) will that be?
yadda yadda yadda
I'm writing in Fred. WIth McCain the nominee, my vote just as well be thrown away.If he's the best the Republican Party can field, I'm leaving the party the day he's nominated.
Period. Case Closed. End of Story.
And I don't care how many of you people keep whining about throwing my vote away. Ive been hearing that since after RWR And I'm sick of it. If the Party don't want us to throw our votes away, then they need to put decent people up there for us to vote for.
McCain's been begging Dems to vote for him at LEAST since 2000 since that's the only hope he ever had to get into the WH.
I aint voting for him.
This is what I don’t get about Fredheads: if you have so much respect for the man that you would write in his name, why not follow his example and support John McCain? It just makes no sense.
