Game's ON... My prediction... Obama in a blowout, McCain by 5.
So that must mean he has....what? 25 listeners?.../s
Even meaner than Mr. Scream, Howard Dean?
Brit Hume with a great eye roll “this could go very late indeed (followed by an eye roll)”
Huckabee or McCain will give Amnesty to 30 million illegals and their 100 million family members back in the 3rd world.that and their socialism will Destroy the United States, our prosperity and our way of life.
And your biggest gripe at the one guy who can stop these 2 pro-Amnesty commies is that he lies? Spare me.
Everyone lies big time.

Participants in the study recorded all social communications for seven days, including how often they lied. The rate of deception was calculated by dividing the number of lies by the number of social communications. Among 30 students involved in the study, there were 1,198 social communications and 310 lies. On average, participants engaged in 6.11 social communications daily and lied 1.6 times per day, meaning that about 26 percent of the reported social communications involved a lie.
The world is just a stage in a theatre, and all the men and women are just actors.
Perhaps you are full of crap.
There is absolutely no logic whatsoever to your statement.
You concede that there are Republican candidates in the race who are conservative.
So how the hell did the Party leave conservatives?
Maybe voters have left conservatism, but that has nothing to do with the party.
Saying it with you......pleeeeeeeeeeze......
Close the gap.
You got that right!!!
I think most people who are familiar with poll are shocked that he's over 2-3%. I like most of his positions besides foreign policy and the Iraq war and I NEVER thought he'd be polling as high as he is.
Alright, who agrees that Hillary is doing a lot better than they thought she would because of the “tears gambit”? Or, because of the “sympathy vote”.
Bur Johnnie, you’re a Republican, not a conservative, so why would you care if the Republicans have abandoned the party that Reagan built? Your aim has been to snatch the party back from those evil conservatives, especially the so-cons and gun nuts, and it appears you have succeeded. Congrats on a job well done.
Notice that when Osama closed the gap so does Romney.
That’s because the “independent” hacks break for either McAmnesty OR Osama.
Based on this if Osama takes the lead McAmnesty’s lead will be smaller as well.
“Christian Conservatives like myself feel like we are barely welcome in the Republican Party.
...and you think you’d be really welcome in the Democrat party?”
Exactly why there ought to be a 3rd party... If people actually did it, instead of worrying about viability, it would actualy BE viable. More than 30% of the country considers itself independent these days.
McCain, Wrong on Taxcuts. Wrong on WOT, Wrong on Iraq. Wrong on Gitmo. Wrong CFR. Wrong on Spending. Wrong on Gang of 14, in fact, cannot point to a single thing he has done right in 8 years.
If you nominate John, “Bob Dole Jr” McCain, the GOP better be braced to lose the White House and seats in both Houses of Congress.
Pretty high price to pay for the senile old Dincons mindless adoration of a guy simply because he has been around forever and once wore a military uniform.
If there is indeed evidence of Dem fraud, the left will be melting down tomorrow!
Vote fraud
Correction:
This is an CFR election... and not just on the Rep side.
ok but since only 12% of US population is black, even if Obama sweeps all of them, Hillary would still win the nomination since she is stronger with key constituencies: women, unions, especially. She’ll take more of Edwards’ leftovers. If Hillary wins or comes close tonight, it is a big victory for her. Obama could win a few of the southern states (as Jesse Jackson did in ‘88) and prob Illinois, but Hillary will take NY and California, prob Fla, NJ, Pennsylania. Don’t get caught up in the media hype about Hilla the Hun. It’s al smoke to try and keep this thing exciting. She will win the nomination.
I agree with you. This could be disastrous for the Republican party and conservatives in general. Too many conservatives here are leading with emotions rather than with reason in my opinion. The less emotional thinkers among conservatives know that Romney, though not as solid a conservative as they might wish, is at this moment the best hope we have of keeping the country from dramatically turning to the left. Thompson would be great if we could just plunk him down into the White House but as of now it seems he’s a long shot to even be the Republican nominee. McCain is someone who, besides that fact that most conservatives cannot stand him, would be torn apart in the general election. The reason for his ascendancy is partly that it looked like he was out of the running for a while and so the other candidates ignored him, which allowed him to regain his footing and sneak back into the mix virtually unnoticed and unscathed. Also the media like him. Especially since most conservatives don’t. But wait until he runs against a Democrat and then the media won’t be quite so friendly and then you’ll hear more allusions to his infamous temper and health issues and age and questions about his mental stability. As to Huckabee, the media like him at the moment, just as they do with McCain, but later would turn on him savagely for being too religious and paint him as a Jerry Falwell or Pat Robinson.
With McCain the media favor him because he ruffles the feathers of conservatives. With Huckabee, they are going easy on him because he would be so easy to tear apart later on. They would simply make him out as a preacher in politician’s clothing. Which is basically what he is. And which is something the media generally loathe and will loathe again if they can propel him to be the Republican nominee.
But Romney, even if one is suspicious of his conservativeness, is now stuck with those conservative positions whether he likes it or not. To flip again at some point on a position (such as abortion) after elected President would destroy any legacy he might have had, not to mention destroy any hopes of a 2nd term. So regardless of whether he is a genuine conservative or not, he would generally govern as a conservative and in any event would be far better than having a Clinton or Obama making important decisions about the WOT and the border and on supreme court nominees and so forth.
I fear conservatives are in the process of knocking out the candidate who can best defeat the Democrats and who can best keep the country from staggering far to the left. Perhaps Thompson will suddenly rise up in the polls, but if not, do we want to be stuck with Huckabee or McCain as the nominee? I would rather take my chances with Romney.
