Folks, there still may be a slim chance to force a deadlocked convention. I'm no election math wizard, but I believe it's still mathematically possible for McCain to NOT receive the requisite number of delegates to win the nomination. But it would require a great turnout of passionate conservative voters in the remaining primary states to accomplish.
The trick would be for all remaining primary conservative voters to vote for their favorite candidate as if he were still in the race. Fred's name is still on the ballot. So is Hunter's and Romney's. Shoot, vote for Huckabee, Paul or even Giuliani if you wish. Anyone but McCain!
None of the others can possibly win, but it's still possible for McCain to lose. Let it go to the convention and force the GOP to publicly fight it out as if its very life depended on it. Because it does.
What do we have to lose? As it stands now, more and more conservatives are declaring their intentions to sit out the general. If McCain is our candidate, looks like Hillary/Obama will be our next president. Don't let it happen. Vote for any GOPer other than McCain!
They do if it's Romney - that's why he suspended his campaign rather than withdrawing.
It’s even more important to truly make sure that all conservative voters do turn out on November 4 to vote for truly conservative candidates for Congress all the way down to the most local levels of political office! Turnout truly needs to be heavy on the conservative side if we all don’t want long-term socialism to take over the U.S. soon!

That’s what I was trying to do with my posts for double teaming FRed and Mitt.
I thought, perhaps, it had crossed you somehow, and that’s why my posts we’re being “Reviewed” before being allowed to appear.
I fully support blocking McManiac, in any way, shape, or form.
I need help with these questions.
Wouldn’t it be best to vote for Huckabee to let him take the delegates from McCain?
Do those candidates who left the race still receive delegates if the state isn’t a winner take all state?
Since Fred said to rally behind McCain because he is the presumed nominee mean Fred’s 8 delegates go to McCAin?
I am all for making McCain lose on the convention floor, it that is possible!

Eak...
I hate McCain’s stance on illegals as much as you do. But is Hillary or Obama gonna be any better on the borders than McCain? Is Hillary or Obama gonna be better on the RKBA? Or Iraq or the War on Terror? Or taxes? or the Budget? How about gays in the military? Everybody is saying to Hell with McCain, I understand the idea, but maybe if Hillary or Obama get elected, there aint gonna be any America to take back in 2012.
Just the other day, you had the HEAD of the Church of England endorse acceptance of some parts of sharia law for godsakes. What if we have another attack that makes 9/11 look like child’s play? Do you trust Hillary or Obama to make the right call? I dont like McCain but I trust him in that situation alot more than I trust those two.
Authorized? Uh...I dunno...
Thanks for the post!
Nice job to you both, thanks!
I agree; gives ABM a whole new meaning - Anybody But McCain.

You must be in heaven. All three remaining candidates will open up the southern border and let every illegal have his way. Your dream come true.
Where did you copy that from? I actually coded that stuff by hand. LOL!
