I wish that everyone would try to remember that this is March and that the election is in November. None of these polls mean anything at this point. We don’t even know for sure who the candidates are going to be. Probably McCain and maybe Hillary or Obama but who knows.

Oh, pu-LEEZE. The only people who will fall for that crap are the people in the tin foil brigade from the leftist fever swamps. And “madcownews” isn’t exactly a reputable news source.

So, even though McCain admitted the affair to at least three people back in 2000, we should just now “move along…nothing to see here”?

Understand you opponent or you will lose.

I think it is worth establishing the veracity of that material. If it’s bogus, fine – we will feel more confident about our nominee after having done due diligence.

However, if it’s not bogus, if it has legs, then knowing that now is better than finding out in October and losing in November…

“Why in the world would he actively campaign for people opposed to his agenda?”

Inane. There are issues upon which McCain agrees with Republicans and there are some which he disagrees. Big news.

Doesn’t mean a national hero and the Republican Presidential candidate won’t campaign for or help Republicans down the line.

We are not all lock step thinkers like the Democrats. That kind of thinking is why I despise the Democrat Party and I’m glad it’s not part of the Republican Party, despite the best efforts of some “conservatives”.

There's quite a difference between the Gallup and Rasmussen polls. The weighted average between the two looks pretty good for McCain, though. See here.

Please, please, please establish the veracity or falsity of the accusations that are guaranteed to be broadcast by the MSM in October. Specifically, this link and the more detailed link here. I’m not saying that everything on there is true. I am saying that we need to establish what is true now, not later.

It’s not a matter of if this will be brought up, only a matter of when.

There are some things I don’t believe, among them:

1 – Fox News Pundits.

Because they are not telling the truth. You have to be political savvy to recognize truth from lies. (I didn’t mention other channels because I don’t watch them.)

2 – Opinion Polls.

Because they rarely reflect the truth.

Why?

You can’t get an accurate poll because of two things:

a) people lie

b) pollsters’ political tendencies

Haven’t you also noticed how polls come right before the day of an election to try to influence voters?

3 – Candidates.

Elections promises are exactly what they are…empty promises.

They’ll do anything to access power.

As I wrote previously, ask any candidate to crawl on his or her belly and suck your toes, he or she will do it for you.

Wait, I’m confused. I read somewheres that true conservatives wouldn’t vote for McCain unless he chose Huckabee as his running mate. Was that just total BS from the supporters of a loser also-ran who speak for no one but their own tiny echo chamber? Quelle surprise!

McCain does have the “experience” to handle a banking crisis on Day One.

Better than that, he even knows how to conceive them!

From the World of Facebook: Hillary supporters: 136,153 Hillary opponents: 942,090 I think that speaks for itself.

Thanks to the Democrats, he has until August to worry about what the two other candidates have to say about him.

Ouch!

It also coincides with Hillary’s “3 AM” ad, in which she asked who America wants answering the call when things go terribly wrong around the world. So far, it looks like the nation has decided that McCain is the better choice.

That’s a sharp point, and funny, too.

Well, I’m going to vote McCain as the other two choices are out of the question. I do not always agree with M on all issues, but it is becoming clear that he, and he alone, cares for the country and it’s future more than for himself. This can and will win him an election.

John McCain’s 67% favorable rating is the highest of any of the three major candidates running for president, and ties for his highest in Gallup polling history.

That made me happy!

I like McCain, there I said it.

Dash on March 18, 2008 at 10:14 AM

Now, was that so hard? :-)

Good news for McCain.

Too bad he wasn’t this successful back in 2000.

Yakko77 on March 18, 2008 at 9:43 AM

Yeah, my sentiments too. I still say the powers that be at the GOP pushed McCain out to make way for Dubya (not that I dislike Bush).

Captain Ed, I sincerely beg you, Michelle, and Allahpundit to properly vet McCain. The Democrats are ready to tear him apart, but they won't do so until after he officially becomes our nominee at the convention. Please, please, please establish the veracity or falsity of the accusations that are guaranteed to be broadcast by the MSM in October. Specifically, this link and the more detailed link here. I'm not saying that everything on there is true. I am saying that we need to establish what is true now, not later. It's not a matter of if this will be brought up, only a matter of when.

John McCain’s 67% favorable rating

Few,if any,shotgun weddings morph into a lovefest. I really don,t get it. Ice fishing in November has more appeal this year.
