I appreciate the math exercise but I'm afraid the real problem is not the delegate count. Obviously Freepers do not represent the majority of people who cast ballots in the Republican primary.

Have you seen any big splash in the news the last few days that suddenly makes you think the vast majority of voters still to cast ballots will rebel against McCain's coronation as the GOP nomination?

I don't see how the Republican Party will move toward the right again until somehow the party leadership is replaced and the primary process is revamped to allow closed and conservative states have a say before Iowa, New Hampshire and California.

Unfortunately, the Party will continue to pour money into the re-election campaign of Rino's, and the Rino's will continue to select the party leadership. I don't think we will get another true conservative nominee until either another political giant like Reagan appears, or conservatives retake the party one state legislature and congressional district at a time.

No it is over, but at least we still get to play primary for a while longer.

I like having a period to blow off a little steam before the trauma truly sets in.

Yes, but I’m admittedly reading South Dakota’s relatively moderate/conservative newspapers.

Obviously. The country has made it clear it doesn't want to listen to conservatives. Either the conservatives on the internet, or the conservatives on talk radio. We have to accept that, regroup, and decide what to do, what influence we can still play in an increasingly liberal society. Stamping our feet and getting really, really, really angry, and then blaming the media, isn't going to change anything.
