David Freddoso hit the nail on the head. I'm not ready to concede that the race is over though.

The gay MSM is fulfilling it’s mission to supress the vote by creating false polls, a hysteria of defeat, and climate of hopelessness in the mind of anyone who would dare vote for McCain.

If this David Freddoso was a true conservative he would never have written this for publication at this time. What was his plan, to show all the world that conservatives will throw away the election just to make a point?

The economy has wrecked McCain. Nothing more, nothing less. Without the mess he was on his way to a win, now he’s on his way to a beat down. The sheep can’t comprehend that the economy has gone south since the Dems took over in 2006- they just blame Bush.

I find that Freddoso agrees with me - or maybe it’s the other way around, but we are on the same page. At the moment, however, I’m refraining from any attacks on McCain. I’ll wait and see what happens on election day. I still have some hope left.

What strikes me now is the vehemence of the attacks on Sarah Palin. The MSM rags are taking the line that she is rousing the rabble while McCain is trying to restrain her! However, I think with her candescent smile and sunny disposition, she is teflon. Whatever happens in November, she will emerge as a strong and viable leader for the future.

Unfortunately, I agree with Freddoso.

I'm not giving up. I will vote for McCain/Palin no matter what happens between now and election day, but I'm not real optimistic at this point.

If Obama wins I hope Romney gives it another crack in 2012 and chooses Bobby Jindal as his running mate if he wins the nomination. The GOP need conservatives who are smart, articulate and fully capable of engaging Obama/Biden on the battlefield of ideas and policy.

Palin has her heart in the right place, but I don't think she will be a credible candidate for POTUS in four years. Maybe in another 8 years she will be ready, but she has to develop much greater fluency in all the subjects that a potential President would be expected to have command of. That means she has to apply herself and learn a lot more about national security, economics, the Supreme Court and a wide range of important domestic issues, including everything from illegal immigration to education and healthcare.

The GOP and RNC brought this calamity on themselves. McCain sqweaked by in the primaries with questionable crossover voting for him in Florida. His campaign was all but over last summer, yet, suddenly, he magically became the nominee. I'm not buying it. The GOP had at least two other primary candidates that deserved more support during the primaries and were left to hang out and dry. McCain was, is and never will be a conservative. His disdain for conservatives and conservatism is in front of everyone's face yet the unbridled fear of Obama masks it.

McCain brings Palin on to soothe the unwashed masses, then he flips back to his "bi-partisan" spring loaded position. Republicans are hell bent to fight and McCain can't/won't fight for the very people who support him. He's a sham and a scam artist every bit as much as Obama is. So, vote for him if it makes you feel warm and cozy because he's not as bad as Obama. I won't be. I'll write in Deputy Dawg before I vote for this fraud.

The Bush presidency, by its mere association with conservative ideas, has ruined many of Republicans' best issues,...

I really don't see that strong of an association between Bush and conservative ideas. His approach to "ownership society" was to continue such socialist ideas as the CRA (which is a major factor in the mortgage crisis) and his veto pen was missing for at least 6 years resulting in some democrat-like spending (yes, congress is to blame here as well). He barely mentioned Social Security reform as more than a campaign issue and if not for a furious response by conservatives, he's have screwed up the Supreme Court appointments as well.

“McCain’s abrupt embrace of a big-government solution to...”

McCain’s embrace of Obama as a decent person that would make a fine president lost him a million votes Friday.

National primary day next time. The race was over by the time I got to vote. I vote for smaller, less intrusive government, and that’s all I vote for.

McCains a whole lot better than Obama. And they’re the only people in the race. So I’m totally with McCain. ‘Nuff said.

"...conservatives are motivated entirely by fear of Obama..."

Fear of the democrat presidential candidate has been the GOP's sole modus operandi for the last twenty years.
