I had pretty much resigned myself to this outcome last week. McCain just never seemed to actually want to win. Too many punches pulled, too many opportunities to make clear the differences missed. It was like 1996 all over again.
I hope that before 2012 the state GOP organizations can get their primary rules fixed so we don't have our candidate selection so badly manipulated.
I think the market will close almost unchanged today.
There are some powerful groups at work that want to control public perception, including the perceptions that conservatives have of themselves and their country.
The anger and terror we feel right now is real. A great effort will be put forward to steer us into mere grudging acceptance.
I’ll have none of it. Shut off the TV.

Oh my gosh, I was thinking the same thing on my drive into work this morning!! I love Bob Dole. What a great, great Patriot! McCain had the same qualities, and although I was not thrilled with some of McCain’s choices over the years, a study of his life set me straight.
Both these guys have more in common with me than not. Much more.......Father, give us the spiritual stamina to get through this.
