Time for a Federalist party, it seems.

The ultraconservative radio talk show hosts, bloggers and newspaper columnists simply didn't resonate with the party's majority members What a load of BS, the majority of conservatives voted for the fiscal conservative (Romney) or the social conservative (Huckabee). McCain got about 1/3 of the "moderate" GOP and a whole lot of crossover independents and Democrats.

As I recall, McCain was winning without the Conservative Base, which split between Romney and Huckabee. He will never win in November without that essential Republican group.

The GOP, a party of RINOs. Who’d a thought.

the soccer moms and NASCAR dads who never attend precinct meetings, but showed up on election day. Whether those high-profile opinion givers like it or not, McCain is their man. In other words, the people who don't pay any attention to politics. The people who just let the MSM feed them sound bytes and don't do any research.

I think the credit belongs also to those who spent their time carrying water for the liberals by bashing Mitt Romney.

The Republican Party has become attractive to Independents who have become disinfranchised by the far left DemonRAT Party. The DemonRATs—and I call them that name because they deserve it—have become so anti-American, that a huge core right out of the heart of political spectrum, has decided that the Republican Party with John McCain, looks pretty good. I am certain that this group, along with the traditional Republican base; if united, will take out anything the DemonRATs have to throw at us.

“Mainstream”, eh? Riiiiiiiiiight.

Sounds like another McCain thumb in the eye to conservatives.

WTF is a “Nascar Dad”? There is no way that these “McFundits” should be framing the debate. What differance would it make if Republicans win if Republican isn’t Republican. McCain Blows!

The ultraconservative radio talk show hosts, bloggers and newspaper columnists simply didn't resonate with the party's majority members - the soccer moms and NASCAR dads who never attend precinct meetings, but showed up on election day. A woman called Rush yesterday to complain about McCain. She introduced herself as someone who had been a die-hard Republican her whole life, and whose mother had been a GOP precinct boss. Rush never bothered to ask her what her involvement in the Republican party is, but did ask her who the Chairman of the RNC was. She didn't know that it was Mike Duncan. Instead of giving her an earful about not being more involved in the GOP, he gave her the red carpet treatment and made her his Conservative Poster Girl for the day. According to Rush, not knowing who Mike Duncan was, Mike Duncan's fault, not hers. For the last 16 years, Rush has been the Clinton's biggest critic, and for the last 8 years he has been preparing us for this fight to keep Hillary from getting back into the White House. In the last 3 weeks, he has morphed into one of her greatest weapons against us. Listening to his show is like watching a train wreck with people you care about on board. It's painful, but you can't avert your attention from it.

Romney is an "extreme" candidate?!
People probably voted for McNutjob because they think he's to the right of Romney.
John Shadegg said that? Jeez...I used to like the guy.
To: calcowgirl
I suppose this time was inevitable as some have said the majority of Americans are moderate and liberal. This ‘fear’ of Hillary has elevated to the top the one person who did alllll her legislating she would not dare take on herself. We have been Borked again.

McCain is winning because he is running a platform of pro-life, pro-gun, pro-Iraq War, pro-military, and anti-govt. spending (although most of us who look at his global warming plan don't believe that one for a minute.)
The average American, despite Rush and Ann, probably thinks he is more conservative than Mitt --who I'm still going to vote for. But they might be right considering Mitt's record as governor and his health care plan.

Apparently, Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) believes Mitt Romney is a far-right extremist.
That says far more about Shadegg than Romney!
