This ain’t over.

http://vote.sos.state.oh.us/pls/enrpublic/f?p=130:14:0

According to the official Ohio Secretary of State website — and Jennifer Brunner is a Democrat — 43.19% of all precincts have reported. That’s significantly less than half.

Obama ................. 49.79%

McCain ................ 48.56%

If McCain wins Ohio, he is definitely still alive. All the networks have already called Ohio for Obama, in much the same way they called the election for Kerry in 2004.

Step #1 - Demand that every state Republican Party that allows independents or Democrats to vote in out primary stop that practice.

We might not have had McCain for our nominee if not for Dems and Ind voting for him in the primaries.

We wouldn’t have McCain if we didn’t let independents and democrats vote in our primary elections. Have only Republicans vote in Republican primaries, and have conservative states go first in the primaries, not Iowa and New Hampshire.

Cut funding for BATFE and DEA, and thereby support limited federal government for a change.

“If it weren’t for Palin, it would have been a worse bloodbath than it is.”

“McCain offered no alternative plan and chose the gentleman’s course by unilaterally disarming”

I agree whole heartedly.

Right now I’m going to eat a grilled chicken sandwich, because I was too upset earlier to eat dinner.
I don’t know what my plans are after that, though.

The GOP has been losing it incrementally for a long time by moving to the socialist left in an attempt to expand the voter base. They are aligning their political ideology with the socialist RAT party . They are one big Republicrat party.

AND NONE OF THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE A D...D THING UNLESS YOU DEAL WITH VOTER FRAUD!!!

Not every state, but enough could have been lost to Acorn tonight and NOBODY HERE THINKS THAT IS THE MOST CRUCIAL ISSUE.

what difference does all those great changes make, if you lose at the polls to voter Fraud!!

Also, McCain lost because of McCain Feingolod!

He played rules by his law and lost.

Republicans hated the law then and should hate it even more now.

How about the worst economic meltdown since the 1930’s, two botched wars, and out of control deficit spending, all on a Republican President’s watch? If you’re truly serious about the root of this loss, look hard at these factors.

You beat me to it. Close all the primaries to registered Republicans only. McCain is what we get with open primaries. Let the grass roots conservatives, not milquetoast moderates, decide who would be the strongest candidate and the standard bearer.

We didn’t learn a damn thing from the Bob Dole campaign. We have got to quit playing the nice guy or we will NEVER win another major election.

There isn’t a whole lot we can do right now. Our first line of defense is with what remains in the Senate and House. The House might not be able to do much to protect the people of this nation, but the Senate needs to stiffen their resolve and block the coming liberal agenda as much as possible. Otherwise, the people have sewn the wind, and as God is my witness, they will reap the whirlwind.

George Bush has spent the last four years ticking off his base.

McCain was a poor candidate for many reasons.

The fact that Obama is being elected is a sign of just how far our country has fallen. There very well might not be a next time.
