Ever since the media declared that Barack Obama was “inevitable” after February 19th.

Funny how the media declared Hitlery inevitable several months only to fall out of favor and now the same is happening to Obama.

Rank and file Republicans accepted McCain as their nominee,

The GOP may have accepted McCain but not conservatives.

TaylorMarsh must be on Hillary’s Coin.

[South40]

McCain may not have been the choice of the majority of Republicans, but once he was declared the “inevitable nominee”, rank and file Republicans closed ranks behind McCain.

They have?

[tips up]

The Dims are in (operation) chaos...

[tips up]

And with all this chaos on the Dem side, this race is McCain’s to lose.

And he is making a good go at losing, with his RINO stances.

[Thumper1960]

Those who sit and hold their breaths in a pique of anger and hubris sure haven't, nor will they, rally 'round McCain.

They'll just remain irrelevant, like their faction of the party.

The poll out this week says that only NH is competitive. CO, IA, NM, OH, MN all lean heavily to Oprah’s Obama.

[Salvation]

Interesting article. Makes me wonder who the dimocrat nominee will be????

I have always said that it will NOT be ‘Bama.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Rank and file republicans maybe but not conservatives.

[ncalburt]

I know this is bad news for the McCain haters or should you be called the defacto Obama camp . I notice every time there is a positive McCain post, the McCain haters swarm to it like flies on a pig.

Buyer's Remorse - How Rank and File Democrats are Rejecting Their 'Inevitable' Nominee

IMO there's a difference between rank and file Democrats and the leaders of the Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party).

Obama has come up with something that will surely attract all Rat Party stalwarts -- but maybe not rank and file Democrats.

Obama's twist is to end our hogging the world's resources.

Please, sir, I want some more

That is the name of standard form one (SF0001) for Obama's Twist.

The world's peoples will have the final say on how we use and how much of the resources we will be permitted to use.

In no more than 25 words you describe your need. The majority of decision makers will not have computers (no electricity) so decisions could take months. Plan ahead.

Regardless of how much of a longterm Clintonista this Taylor Marsh may be, I have been saying Hillary will be the nominee since the big Obama surge MONTHS ago. I say it here on FR every chance I get/ The MSM lets no opportunity get by to continue hammering home the theme that Obama has got it in the bag.At this point, if these new statistics are true, methinks they are protesting too much, yet it’s obvious that Job One is going to continue to be Obama Promotion, if for no reason other than for the MSM to prove itself right, and more than that, prescient. I still don’t think Obama has got ANYTHING in the bag.
The biggest problem with Obama is that, even though the past month or so has seen lots of trouble come his way, he was already on what looked like an unstoppable roll by the time all the negatives started coming out.It was almost “too late” even a few months ago. The hammering on the negatives would normally have been the work of the Clinton campaign, but at that time they still thought they were inevitable , and that Obama was the virtual flash-in-the-pan. They still have a tricky game of catch-up to play, but I think they’ll do it. Or more likely their surrogates will do it.Hillary will be the nominee.

The wheels have come off for Hussein Obama since the rev. Wright videos came out. If they had come out earlier, Hussein and Michelle would just go back to hatin’ America.

I was at a local gun show on Saturday and they kept pushing McCain over the PA speakers as having sworn to sign national legislation for some sort of national CCW bill. I doubt we'll ever get that one passed so he may feel safe making the announcement, but I'd love to know if he ever really asserted that. Remember when GW swore to sign ccw in Texas once elected governor he won by a landslide.

[Caipirabob]

What it comes down to is that the Democrats have to make a choice: Is it Hillary/Obama or Obama/Hillary. This could salvage much of their base, but not all. While the decision may be unacceptable to the Obama camp, they aren't in a position to dictate as much as follow orders. The Clinton camp is a "loose cannon" and the party needs to place as much effort in dealing with them as they would the GOP opposition.

For the Republicans, it's much worse: They have McCain. He automatically alienates 20-25% of his own base. McCain wants to play to the center for independents and liberals and wants a Veep to draw more of them. In the process he loses more of his base which is stubborn enough not to support him come November regardless of the outcome. Just the facts of the math the GOP is dancing around. If McCain selects a solid conservative Veep, he at least solidifies his base but sacrifices many independents, who may or may not support him regardless.

This will be another mouth full of ashes for the rat at the presidential level. This have once again fooled themselves about who they really are and what they really stand for.
