Yes, he is toast. The MSM will make quick work of him now.

Sad, but I don’t care either. Obama will beat him like a drum.

I’m gearing up for 2012...

The CPAC group was instructed NOT TO BOO McCain.

The open primaries in the early states, the winner-take-all blue states... this has all been carefully orchestrated to deliver this result.

I suspect you're on to something there (understatement). Hasn't the whole nominating process been totally changed this time around?

The RLC has also place their people so that when McCain’s Speech is over, he will be praised as a leader. Seems the Blue Bloods have their stuff together on selling McCain.

“Well, in the sprit of optimism. lets hope there is still something left to save in 2012!”

Hopefully, I’m assuming there will be something to save. Of course, you know what happens when you assume...

This is depressing. I just cannot support McCain - regardless of who is on the ballot in November. I just can’t - and won’t.

Yeah, I saw that...it's making me physically ill. Remember how we used to bag all over the Clintons for pulling these stunts?
Now it's our side doing it.

Anyone who accepts his offer is not a conservative. The Vice President has no power anyway, so it will just tarnish their reputation.

I wouldn’t vote for Mccain if he picked Rush as his veep.

I don't think it's been orchestrated, but I certainly don't think it's the best system we could use to elect the best candidate for our party.

No, it's not.

It's the Party Over Principles RINOs doing it; those who want key appointments in the McManiac administration.

The Reform Institute has been pushing and lobbying for open primaries for eight years. McCain was the President of the Institute. Soros’ Open Society and Tides Foundations financed them.

The Reform Institute also lobbies for open borders, fighting global warming, gun control, campaign finance reform, etc. etc. Their agenda reads like a list of McCain’s pet issues.

He has stated many times that he will focus on securing the border first. He voted to extend the Bush tax cuts and said he will make them permanent. He voted for Alito and Roberts.
