"If you understood the political realities of the situation you would understand a large segment of the base will not vote for McCain ensuring a Democrat wins election."

You broke the code...

FR is probably the most conservative site in the country. If a candidate can't get 50% support on this site, he/she sure as he!! isn't going to get 50% in the elections.

FreeRepublic took a poll about McCain awhile back. he couldn't get more than 50%, if even that. Everyone else Jim ran as a possibility had comfortable support.

Tancredo, Condi and Rudy got over 70% I believe.

In the recent FR poll, McCain didn't break 5% when given more selections to choose from. Others got in the teens and 20%. If any Republican hopes to win with Indy/Dem support they still need to do better than 50% among the GOP base.

That's preposterous.

This site is in no way, shape, or form representative of the GOP; in fact, just the opposite.

22% Allen
