I'll write in John Galt before I vote for McCain. Rush is right.

Assuming there is no shocking revelation or health issue, the GOP nomination is over. Conservatives need to start practicing the phrase "Nominee presumptive John McCa....."
Sorry, I can't say it. Not yet.
But it's true. When the campaign comes here to Massachusetts on February 5th, I'll proudly cast my vote for any option on the GOP ballot other than You-Know-Who. But it will be a futile gesture. Mr. "1/3rd Of The GOP Primary Vote" is going to be the nominee.
He's going to win the big, left-leaning states on Tuesday. Huckabee will stay in and deny Romney a one-on-one contest for GOP voters that Captain Amnesty would almost certainly lose. The result: More wins for He Who Must Not Be Named, and fewer wins for Romney—regardless of delegate count. Florida has launched the one ship that Romney's money and Rush Limbaugh cannot stop: The U.S.S. Inevitable. It's gonna happen. Even if there were a realistic pathway to stop him, the media have seized control of the process now and are declaring him inevitable. He is, after all, the favorite son of the New York Times.
So it is over. Finished. In November, we'll be sending out our most liberal, least trustworthy candidate vs. to take on Hillary Clinton—perhaps not more liberal than Barack Obama, but certainly far less trustworthy. And the worst part for the Right is that McCain will have won the nomination while ignoring, insulting and, as of this weekend, shamelessly lying about conservatives and conservatism.
You think he supported amnesty six months ago? You think he was squishy on tax cuts and judicial nominees before? Wait until he has the power to anger every conservative in America, and feel good about it.
Every day, he dreams of a world filled with happy Democrats and insulted Republicans.

And take the GOP with him......

Lets see how much money he has left. He spent most of it in Florida.
Such profound stupidity. Nothing is “over”. This is a race to 1100 delegates, and 3% victories won’t get to that number anytime soon, not when most of the states award delegates proportionally.
It ain’t over. Moderate Republican trying to demoralize the rest of us.
So far less than 200 delegates have been divvied up, you need over 1100 to get the nomination...
It ain’t over. This is a psyche-job. They are hoping we think it’s over. It’s the only way McCain can actually win.
Oh, but don’t know you? We’re the “lunatic fringe.” McCain can win without us. /sarc
It’s funny for me to see the McCainiacs on here saying that McCain’s going to win against Hillary. What they fail to realize is that Hillary has the liberal base locked up in her corner and only needs to focus on winning over the mushy middle independents. McCain has to fight for BOTH the conservative base and the independent vote. If even 1-3% of the conservative base doesn’t vote for him, he’s toast. The last 2 elections have been within a 3% margin. Losing 2% of your base will cost you the election.
Yeah, I think Romney can outspend McCain by a bit. I heard he had saved up a bit of money. /sarc
No longer a Mitten. I’m a Dagny!
“The McCain Mutiny.”
I hope McCain does anger every Conservative, seriously, we need to become angry and shake ourselves out of this slumber we are in.
When Fred dropped out, that should have been a warning sign to us, we missed it, now we may see John McCain in the Oval Office and stepping on us as he goes in.
A nice two year stint with laughing boy should be just about enough for us to unify on some things.
I’m feeling sick already.
Isn’t the NYT holding a scandal story of McCain?
Wait until he has the power to anger every conservative in America, and feel good about it.

Ping.
Dagney Taggart for President! I'll take it!
What's a "Mitten" though? I don't remember that from the book.
Rush is wrong because he was only against someone and never said what he was for. Maybe now that Rudy is out he can finally tell people to go for Romney. Maybe there is still a chance...but I sure wish fred had that chance instead.
Is he prissy?
He sure gives in without a fight.
Yes, he can go to Hell, but first.....McCain can drop dead.
He will not get my vote.
