The reality is that we are stuck with McCain. Obama is NOT an option for the Whitehouse. We have to hold McCain's feet to the fire while getting a new breed of Conservatives in both Houses of Congress such as the Iraq Vets for Congress.

A string of polls conducted by the Suffolk University Political Research Center over the past month--in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and, now, West Virginia--show that roughly 20 percent of Democratic primary voters are ready to vote for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in November if their choice candidate isn't the nominee.
The latest survey, which questioned 600 likely voters in Tuesday's West Virginia Democratic presidential primary, shows Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) trouncing Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), the national front-runner, by 36 points in West Virginia, 60 percent to 24 percent.
Obama may be his party's presumptive nominee, but the Suffolk University poll indicates it is unlikely he can carry this battleground state that Democrats have won in eight of the last 12 presidential elections.
The poll shows that almost a quarter of Democratic voters in the state (23 percent) say they will vote for Republican nominee McCain in November if their candidate loses the nomination battle. (See Poll ). Only 40 percent now say they will vote for the Democratic Party's eventual nominee no matter what happens in the primaries, while nearly a third said they would be undecided. Six percent say they will support independent candidate Ralph Nader.

Why not? They have 3 “good” candidates to choose from!
This is the GOP nominee’s ace; Democrats.
In related news, 2 in 5 Republicans plan to defect and vote for McCain as well.
Well now we know why McCain is pandering with his global warming BS and his other liberal statements.
The reality is that we are stuck with McCain. Obama is NOT an option for the Whitehouse. We have to hold McCain's feet to the fire while getting a new breed of Conservatives in both Houses of Congress such as the Iraq Vets for Congress.
The only question is will the Democrat defectors offset the conservatives who stay home?
This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Senator Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.
Obama, a big-shot federal spenderThe people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.
The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes.
“One in Five Democrats Set to Defect to McCain”
Perhaps that will make up for the one in four Republicans who plan to stay home?
This article is a perfect example of a sad attempt by a feminazi university which supports Hildabeast to try to prop up her sorry campaign. ( p..ssst nitwits -->Hildabeast is a pathological liar...she's done!! )
And, Obamessiah will be tromped on royally in November.
Unfortunately, we will be stuck with McCain but at least he's better than the Demorats.
LOL
The RNC's Petty Cash Drawer must be overflowing with contributions!
They might as well.
My stomach hurts.
The Secret Service won't let us get close enough, and he's already proved that he is deaf to conservatives.
As Rush noted- McCain is trying to get Republicans to cross over and vote for him.
as one Democratic (Hillry) consultant said, “we can’t win with the coalition of eggheads and blacks”.
I wonder if that is the case. I think it just might be.
Beat me to it. I got a call from a fellow conservative here in Michigan after he found out (I emailed the link, heh heh) about the McCain/GOP global warming platform of the party. He said he almost drove off the road and is now unsure if he can pull the lever for the guy. Like it or not, a lot of conservatives can only take so much blatant, in your face, screw you-isms from John McCain.
Democrats can’t lose, no matter who wins.
You’ve been replaced by a Dummycrat.
