So McCain is not better than the alternative?

I know that the last time I listened to the “true” conservatives, I got a pretty raw deal, so….

…internal polling from Team McCain and the RNC which has them feeling good about their chances in November. McCain leads both Democratic contenders well outside the margins of error.

This is the calm before the storm. As soon as the Democrat candidate is determined the media will double and redouble their attacks on McCain to make up for lost time.

McCain’s numbers will drop like a rock under the media’s determined attack. He may even get so desperate as to court conservatives.

Can we get on with the business of the country now while you sit in the corner and hold your breath?

Just don’t blame me when McCain loses. All that glory will belong to folks like you who so boldly proclaim that McCain is better than the alternative.

It’s a shame Bobby Jindal doesn’t have more time in as the Louisiana guv… I’d love to see him as the McCain VP choice.

I think we can rule out genius in you case.

Hey Troll, looks like we can rule out genius in YOU case too.

Angry Dumbo on April 10, 2008 at 5:27 PM

Yes, you are very noble, we are all amoral pricks, got it.

Can we get on with the business of the country now while you sit in the corner and hold your breath?

I suspect we’re going to see a helluva lot of stacked polls in this election year. What we have to do is not let themn get away with it.
.
Just like the Blogosphere smashed Reuters for it’s Fauxtography scandal, and CBS for the fraudulent, last minute attempted bash on Bush’s military record with phony docs just before the previous election, we can have the same effect in starting to hold these polling firms to an honest standard.

I would like to think it’s fear of evil from Obama that motivates Republicans to vote for Hilary and not game playing. It just seems more decent.

That’s a very passive idea, and the Dems are fanatically aggressive. Here is a book suggestion for you. It’s eight years old so you can pick one up for as little as 74¢! I strongly recommend it!

SouthernGent on April 10, 2008 at 6:36 PM

Actually, that’s the ONLY reason why McCain will win.
Against any kind of a decent opponent, he’s be thrown out on his stupid old ass.

but for now, I wont give too many shouts of joy coz its hella early and theres many many battles yet to fight.
the Mav will come dowen to earth and the Obambi will ascend to heights as yet unknown once he has the nomination and Congress passes a bill outlawing critcism of The Messiah and mandating 40 hours per week of positive coverage of him.

The numbers are encouraging. but as Han Solo famously said to Luke on the occasion of Luke’s first tie-fighter kill: “Great shot, kid. dont get cocky.”
Love the Howard Dean spin, too. What a choad.

4. No one in the Republican party could have conceived of a way to tinker with the outcome of the Dem nomination process. What Rush is doing is historical, and he does it all with humour, optimism, and patriotism.

RushBaby on April 10, 2008 at 2:57 PM

I’m a Pennsylvania Republican who registered Democrat to vote for Hilary, and I don’t like what Rush is doing. I’m voting for Hilary, because I understand the damage and evil the Jimmy Carter did to the world and I fear Obama would be a rerun of Carter. I sincerely believe Hilary would do better than Jimmy Carter. (It’s pretty gosh darn low standard, you have to admit.) I would like to think it’s fear of evil from Obama that motivates Republicans to vote for Hilary and not game playing. It just seems more decent.

Eh I dunno, once Obama is settled in as the official nominee, the media are going to be dry humping him all the way to the election. I am very skeptical of the GOPs chances this year.

Yep. Dash you got that right. I’m not so sure they’ll even be dry in their open affection for BO. Me and the other “pseudo-purists” are hoping that you recognize that McCain was not the best Republicans could have done. This will take some of the sting out of this loss. McCain burned too many bridges for me to ever vote for him.

If McCain or any Republican candidate could not consolidate the base or my vote for that matter, they had no chance of winning in November. Forget the middle (they are too stupid to be reliable – they will vote for anything shiny that makes them feel good at the time) the base is essential.

McCain did every thing he could to alienate the base and he never had my vote. Perhaps the smarter folks on this blog would recognize that is precisely why the NYT endorsed McCain on the weekend before Super Tuesday?

In what parallel universe did Hillary ever score 10 points over McCain? And that incredible interview with Bartiromo and Obama on CNBC. That stupid race-obsessed bastard (an apt description, in the legal sense) is embarrassing.

If McCain is winning independents and married women against Obama, then the Democrats will be in for a very unhappy November

Democrats, sure. Liberals, well, they’ll be pretty happy with whoever wins.

It is the same as a bumper sticker but has a sharper edge to it.

MB4 on April 10, 2008 at 5:55 PM

Obama’s definition of a rich person worthy of higher taxes if everybody making $32,000 a year if you look at his latest Senate vote.

His definition of a poor person worthy of government health care is everybody period.

McCain’s making your 6 scoops of $hit looks damn good to me, regardless of how it looks on a bumper striker.

To you all-or-nothing pseudo-purists–

jgapinoy on April 10, 2008 at 5:52 PM

Wouldn’t that make me a purist? I would be a pseudo-purist if I vote for the return of the Rockefeller Republicans. No thanks.
