LIVE THREAD II
Take the following with a huge grain of salt b/c I'm not sure. I'd guess that different states have different delegate rules. In TX, for instance, national GOP delegates are bound to a candidate through three ballots, then they are free to vote as they wish. If other delegations have similar rules, then the convention could get complicated. Thus, a brokered convention is a remote but real possibility.
Ears?
I’m shocked at this
religious bigotry.
Shameful.
You could even make an argument that having a pro-choice viewpoint IS the conservative view since it keeps government out of your life.
***Conveniently overlooking the life of the preborn baby, of course. Other than that it’s a great argument.
Yeah, Biden has NOTHING on Obama in this regard. And he’s pretty damn good!...
Unless you consider the baby does not exist as a separate life until it is in fact born. Until then it’s no more a separate life than my hand is.
But that’s just me playing the devil’s advocate.
I think the girl behind him is getting ready to cry!
I agree. Two questions though, if answered, might drive the point home.
What are the conservative numbers in those states, (OH, MO, PA, IA, FL...best guess?
What are the numbers for independents?
I think the independents may come out for Romney over McCain, since IMO they tend to vote moderate. I do not see them holding for McNuts if he wins the nomination... He’s too frigging crazed. AND I think the illegal immigration issue is really going to hit home come the general election... more so in the “post-industrial” states... especially after what McQueeg told ‘em regarding their auto manufacturing jobs. In the end, most people will vote their wallets... and we still have eight months to go, with a shaky economy on the horizon (Well, at least the perception of such... and perception is everything).
The narrow gate.
BO is going to change it. We want change!!! Gimme some change!!! Hey, buddy, can you spare some change?
Barak Obama’s profound quote of the night: “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
I’m going to go take some more dumbass pills so I can understand what this Obama thing is all about.
Not sure Huckabee would accept the VP slot from Romney instead of McCain, but if Huckabee+Romney had a majority, what if Romney offered him the #1 spot on the ticket? I would expect Romney would rather be President than have Huckabee take the role, but he might still feel Huckabee was better than McCain.
Msnbc calls Montana for Romney!
LOL!
He deserves some credit for being a vet.
So does my brother
I've got some pride left, but it's plain to see
It's been earmarked for emergency
So what ever happened to your blind faith - did it crumble away
Like me, like me
What goes on in that little toy brain
Who'll sweep out the wreckage, who'll sing the refrain
And after the smoke clears - is there anything left
Did you wash it all away
At this point i’d cut my left thumb off for a Romney/Huck presidency.
“You take away his color and the media craze over him, what’s left?”
What say his supporters?
Can’t hear you!!!
Latest delegate tally per CNN:
406 McCain
151 Romney
93 Huckabee
