I see it as foolish to turn my back on what’s available to me to stop Obama’s left wing agenda.

If nominated, McCain will loose. One of the few Republicans that Obama can beat is McCain. So why nominate a looser. The Republican convention is months away!

Show me a more workable solution that promotes conservative values in 2008.

Stand your ground. Don't let McCain and the MSM stapeed you into a premature and unwise decision. No candidate can battle both an opponent and 1/3 of his base at the same time. You betcha. Dump McCain next week or in 6 months. Nominate an electable Republican at the September convention. One who has the support of the party base. Because of fatal flaws in both Democrat hopefuls, many Republicans could beat either Democrat as long as they have the widespread support of the Republican membership.

There's plenty of time to gracefully rid the party of McCain in accordance with established procedures. Rhetoric aside, partisan electors are not tied to candidates. They can do as they wish at the convention if they represent a clear majority opinion.

Stand your ground. Don't let McCain and the MSM stampede you into a premature and unwise decision. No candidate can prevail while fending off attacks from both his opponents and the members of his own party.

A similar situation existed in 2003. Partisans supported a liberal Republican because of unfounded fears of the popularity of a Democrat, cultural separatist. The liberal won and the results were a disaster for both the California GOP and the state of California.

The polls do not reflect your predictions of a slaughter-like Obama victory.

“If nominated, McCain will loose.”

rt< That may be likely, but polls show him to have the best chance of all GOP contenders.

“One of the few Republicans that Obama can beat is McCain.So why nominate a looser.”

rt< That’s a bazaar assumption based on no evidence what so ever. In fact it runs counter to the evidence.

“The Republican convention is months away!”

rt< So who, (be specific)are you going to whip McCain with. Of those left Huckabee has the best chance,because he at least has some deligates, but I find him to be less conservative and electable than McCain.

“Don’t let McCain and the MSM stapeed you into a premature and unwise decision.”

rt< I can count and the delegate count speaks loudly that McCain has this wrapped up. I pay no attention to the MSM.

“No candidate can battle both an opponent and 1/3 of his base at the same time.”

rt< Your right on that point. We’ll probably loose the White House and let the Democrats pack the court and loose the war. They don’t call us the stupid party for nothing.
You haven’t shown me a more conservative candidate who can rally the party and deliver on your hopes of a white knight rescuing us from a compromise candidate. That would be great, but I’m far from convinced your on solid ground. More likely you’ll just help Code Pink, and Move On .org have their way. I’m not going to help them.
