If McCain loses in a landslide.. Romney and the other candidates would lose in a landslide - 10.

Remember.. you are making comments like that with your heart for conservatism, not logically based on any facts about general election polling and viability.

America is DONE.

There are so many things wrong with this election... not the process, but the candidates.

ACTUAL FREEDOM ... it’s done.

Watch the speeches by the candidates tonight.

The American people want a GIANT, Nanny State, Baby Sitter Gov’t. That’s what they want.

... no comment ...

Yes....I’m reminded of Reagan’s comment after someone made an issue of HIS age.....Obama is like a teenage girl saying, “Like change, Like new beginnings, Like We CAN!”

“I hope you’re right.”

Just check the data at the link.

Now,

You want an indicator of real historical accuracy?

Whichever candidates holloween mask sells more, and which one wins the childrens schoolastic election have been VERY good indicators. LOL

McCain will kick his ass

Lie to yourself all you want, don't lie to people who know better. Loyalty to a candidate is a fine thing. Blind feverish fanatic adoration of a candidate is not.

VERY difficult for any party to win the WH 3 years in a row. Stevension could not in 1952, Nixon could not in 1960, Humphery could not in 1968, Ford could not in 1976, Gore could not in 2000.

Bush 1 road Reagan's legacy in 1988. Think McCain can ride Bush 2 legacy in 2008?

McCain, old, tired nearly broke 25 year DC insider is going to be going against an articulate, smooth, 1 term Senator who is out slicking the Clintons in spreading the "Agent of change" BS. McCain is going to get outspent about 7 to 1. He is going to be running with a depressed base against highly energized Democrat base who see in 2008 their 1st chance to control all 3 branches of Govt in 14 years. The Economy is going to be in recession by Nov 2008. Obama alone is receiving MORE votes in his primaries then all the Republican Candidates combined.

It will be a miracle if McCain wins 15 states. The slaughter down ticket of GOP candidate will be grotesque

Maybe in five years there will be five kids named Barack in every kindergarten class, and two of them will be white.

Yes. Bush was right on the War on Terror, the Supreme Court and taxes. McCain can win his third term.

Don’t cite me chapter and verse about his imperfections of policy. They’re superior to the Democrats.

Ballgame.

That's the ticket. Don't read what I wrote and think about it. Respond in 90 seconds with more "ra ra, yeah team" BS.

Spin as hard as you like, it will make no difference. The facts are not going to change just because we find them so distasteful.

“I will vote for Obama, but NEVER for McCain.”

How sick is that? Welcome to the club...

Major miracle if McSoros wins 15 states. The Dems will turn out, but not for him

I will vote for Obama, but NEVER for McCain.

Good for you.

Bad for my son, those who serve with him, and those of us who believe we should confront the forces of terror whenever and wherever we find the opportunity to strike.

Among other things, this is what you'll vote for:

. . . the same Washington game . . .

It’s a game where the only way for Democrats to look tough on national security is by talking, and acting and voting like Bush-McCain Republicans, while our troops are sent to fight tour after tour of duty in a war that should’ve never been authorized and should’ve never been waged. That’s what happens when we use 9/11 to scare up votes, and that’s why we need to do more than end a war – we need to end the mindset that got us into war.

That’s the choice in this primary. It’s about whether we choose to play the game, or whether we choose to end it; it’s change that polls well, or change we can believe in; it’s the past versus the future. And when I’m the Democratic nominee for President – that will be the choice in November.Senator Obama's Victory Speech in Madison, WI

Virginia exit polls show military primary voters voted for McCain, not Obama.

You need to share your insights with the world. Make a nice “THE END IS NEAR” sign and find a good street corner downtown... The adults can handle the politics from here on in.

Hello )))))))).... Earth calling Senator Goldwater ))))))))...

Did you hear a word that Johnnie said? Obama is going to bury McCain under a landslide of epic proportions, for all the reasons given. Don’t delude yourself.

It’s time for us to reconnoiter and regroup for the fight of 2010.

Let see, I site for you the historic record, I show you the current data and point out the problems McCain faces.

You go into a gibbering fit and scream an insult back.

You seem to be seriously confused as to whom the adult is here. I suggest you take your own advice. Leave the politics to the adults, you clearly cannot handle them.

B. Hussein Obama attributed his success in part to Republicans tonight. I believe him. Pubbies hate all that is Klintoon so much that many are crossing over to defeat Shrillary, by voting for B. Hussein Obama.

Once the wicked witch is dead, for good, the tide shall turn, but not nearly enough to give McCain the Presidency, IMO.

Folks, Obama is the pop star of the hour for this pop culture, and it really won’t matter what Republicans or our Democrat McCain does. We are going to get trounced worse than Mondale.

2012! We better get ready, and do a lot better than McCain.
