There has been a lot of happy talk by the McCain supporters about the upcoming election. The reality is that all signs point to a huge Dem victory. With 30 Reps retiring from Congress this year and the early Dem wins in picking up seats from the Hastert retirement and possibly this one, there is plenty of reason to worry.

The Stupid Party nominated its maverick as its standard bearer. Once the focus is on the general election and McCain starts spouting off on comprehensive immigration reform, global warming, closing Gitmo, etc., Rep turnout is going to be depressed. And the Dems WILL emerge with a unified party with Obama as the nominee and possibly Hillary as the VP. All of the turmoil and infighting in the protracted Dem primaries will serve the Dems in good stead as they set records in participation and generated voter networks in state after state.

Elections like these are the canaries in the coal mine.

We had the same thing happen recently in a special election for the state legislature in Florida. The state GOP poured a bunch of money into it, and Crist even did some campaigning for the guy, but he still lost to the Dem by a fairly large margin in a solidly Republican district.

I have a friend in the state GOP, and they weren’t happy, to say the least.

You are wrong on every point and have no basis for anything you say except pure opinion and, I believe, a real desire to see the libs win.

You haven't a clue what McCain will have to say about immigration or anything else in the general; and you also have no isdea what the effect will be on the lib Party if and when Billary steals the nomination from Hussein. You seem to be saying that contrary to the Rep, the Dems have everything under control and all their chickens will magically come togetjher no matter what disasters await them at the convention.

You have been gloom and dooming all this board for months and frankly you haven't a shred of independent information to back up anything you say. I asked you weeks ago to post some links to sources you may have used to come to your conclusions but you ignored my request.

Personally I think you're a liberal.
