I’m caucusing for my boy Fred tomorrow but I have a feeling I’ll be a voice crying in the wilderness. All the ads on TV are for Obama or Hitlery.

Mark Levin was reading some founding father quotes today. We have gone so far away from their intent and from the laws of God here in America it’s scary.

I was curious,so I looked up the following.
Not to start an argument, but I don’t think the Mormon factor is that important. Much of the migration in recent years has been hispanics, overwhelmingly Catholic.

Nevada party registration:

Dem=40.2%
Rep=39.3%
Other=20.5%

Re: “Dingy” Harry Reid:

2004 election

Reid 61% spent > 7 million
Ziser 35% ” 647k
Other 4%

1998 election

Reid 48% * spent 4.9 million
Ensign 48% ” 3.4 ”
Other 4%

*Reid won by 428 votes, Ensign won the next senate seat.

I think the emphasis on winning the presidency is important. However, shamnesty, and the dream act originated in congress. Bush was COMPLETELY behind it, (remember his “see you at the signing” comment just before it was defeated?) and still it failed. The house members must face re-election every 2 years, so are a perfect target for grass roots action. Defeating senators running for re-election who supported amnesty THIS year will send a stronger message than any other vote. Lindsay Graham should be #1 on the defeat list. He was a STOOGE for McCain-Kennedy and amnesty. He has changed his “tune” lately, but when I see that silly grin beaming behind McCain speeches, I know he’s a liar. Don’t forget his award from La Raza, and his now almost forgotten line….Graham to La Raza…“We’re gonna tell the bigots to shut up”… Don’t forget, the bigots he speaks of are US!

Contribute to, or otherwise support his primary opponent if possible. Defeating him in the PRIMARY would be the ultimate insult, and maybe it would change some future votes re: amnesty in the senate. Also, for me it would remove the angst I would feel if I had to cheer his DEM opponent in the fall.

Wait isn’t Harry Reid a mormon also?

Nevadaites certainly are savvy, intelligent voters.

John Edwards trails with 14 percent of the vote.

Just………Go……….Home.

I don’t know why people are touting McCain as the winner when the only thing he’s won is NH…

Because the MSM want McLame! They see Billary in big trouble, they don’t see Obama winning the general, so they push the most liberal Repub, just in case the dims can’t pull it off…think about it.

Ditto!!!

I agree. I don’t know why people are touting McCain as the winner when the only thing he’s won is NH… which only has a few delegates anyhow. There is essentially a statistical dead heat in national polls among Guliani, McCain, Romney and Huckabee. This one is going the distance… who can make it till the end?

There’s a lot of primary left to go. Don’t make me apply an Iraq ‘defeat-and-retreat’ analogy to some of our commenters.

It matters not what the polls say today re: a McCain/Hillary matchup, or any other matchup against Hillary for that matter. I believe Mitt, Fred, and yes even Hunter, can defeat Hillary or Obama because conservatives will come around to supporting them. McCain or Huck will have a very difficult time motivating conservative voters.

A candidate who does not pull together a coalition of conservative and independent voters will lose IMO.

What matters is we nominate the (R) candidate who most closely shares our conservative values AND who has the best potential for winning over independents, with our help of course, against our (D) opponent.

Bite your tongue. Do you honestly prefer Hillary over McCain?

The last time GOP voters stayed home we ended up with Pelosi in charge.

And by the way, I don’t like McCain one bit either. It just so happens I hate seeing our great country turned into a socialist commune more.

Don’t stay home Dude.

The choice is now McCain, with all his imperfections and Hillary, who has more baggage than the American Airlines terminal at JFK.

Larraby on January 18, 2008 at 12:16 PM

Newsflash: If McCain is the nominee, many, many Republicans will be staying home…including me. No amnesty for illegals! Go Mitt!

So let’s stop the sniping about McCain.

So what was the difference between the two?

John McShamnesty is just as bad for this country albeit in different areas.

Say hola to your new overlords!

The opening lyrics:

She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin’ me out with those American thighs

i agree! Go… go far, far away… and stay away!

Ha! Identity politics for sure! I can just imagine the discussion leading up to the libs decicing to support him.

lib 1: He’s black.

lib 2: Yeah, and articulate and clean.

There’s tons of Mormons in Nevada. Romney’s win there was pretty much a given for me. My folks live outside of Vegas and it’s big time Mormon country.

There is a much larger Catholic community in Nevada.

Harry Reid is a Mormon, and they keep voting that dope back into office. But I think the writings on the wall for Harry. He is behaving in a way that regular Nevadans have never seen and they are not happy with his pandering to the anti-military loons.

Kathryn, I think Romney’s re-positioning himself on South Carolina leaves out a bit of the story. He may be downplaying his chances here, but he has worked the state very hard for a long time – and he still is. I’ve been coming here to cover this race since 2006, and it seemed like everywhere I would go, to cover McCain or Giuliani, someone would say that Romney had been there yesterday, or was coming next week. He was in the state a lot.

I spoke last night to Richard Quinn, who is McCain’s chief strategist in South Carolina. “I think Romey’s playing possum,” Quinn told me. “He has spent more money on TV, radio, mail, phone, staff, and consultants by at least ten to one than any other candidate running for president. He only went black on TV for about three days. This is all spin for them to say they’re not playing in South Carolina.” Quinn might be exaggerating a bit, but if he is, it’s not by much.

I’m hoping for a Romney/Thompson ticket.

I could work with that!
