Right . What a way to sell a candidate. It's mccain or death ! Forget that old fart . Spend time and money on the house and senate. Thats were the power will be , no matter which one of these posers slithers in . big O or Gramps will be damaged goods . A few members of the house shoved that amnesty debacle up his ass.

You can't just concentrate on the House and Senate. The national Presidential election will drive the issues and if the base stays home where there's not a key house or senate race, it will give Obama a big victory and the ability to claim a mandate. Then really look out!

AGreed. F___ MacCain and f___ the GOP. I'm a conservative and will no longer support leftists.

First, MacCain always says what he thinks will draw the largest support, but then turns around and screws over his supporters. MaCain doesn't give a s__t about the country beyond his ability to get what he can from it.

Second, even if he's elected, he's going to be a very, very, very, very, very weak President and a one termer at that. So, in order to maximize his "legacy", within weeks of being inaugurated he'll play Monica to Teddy Kennedy and embrace the left's policies. Meanwhile, while the MSM excitedly pants about how he's grown in office and how the country has reached a new more mature spirit of bi-partisanship, conservatives will, yet again as ALWAYS has happened with MacCain, be left out in the cold.

The last time the GOP put up a good candidate was Reagan in 1984. For the least 24 years they've forwarded only mediocrities, and if we'd demanded quality from them since they first foisted the half-wit Poppy Bush on us in 1988, we wouldn't be in this mess today.

Agreed.

And your option is to elect Hillary! or Obama? There is no magical "if only!" other choice - it's McCain or the other two options, period. Petulance not withstanding.

You do understand that a donk administration will have a COMPLETELY compliant Congress, and the donk majority in the Senate can easily overturn the filibuster - the ONLY thing that could possibly slow them down.

I'll take an 80% ACU rating (check McCain's 2007 rating) versus a 7% (Obama) or 0% (Hillary!) any day.
