No more junk mail, no more supper-time campaign calls. No more RINOs.

Now that’s Hopenchange®!

…but IF they choose a Pro Abortion VP, all bets are off with the base, and NOT just with one issue voters… it will be a messege that he does not care about the Party Platform.

McCain has already proven he doesn’t care about the base or the GOP platform. As mentioned earlier, I finally got through with a telephone call to RNC HQ in Washington requesting they remove my name from all their mailing list. The guy was respectful and complied. When he inquired why, I was respectful and direct. I will no longer support republicans simply because they claim to be republican. For me, now, they must be conservatives who love their country.

No more junk mail, no more supper-time campaign calls. No more RINOs.

pick John Bolton for his veep!

And give him responsibility for the State Department in the same way that Kerry offered McCain a VP/SECDEF job if he would bolt the party he is now so plainly ignoring.

Do you still have work to do in consolidating the base? — Yes, we have to constantly pay attention to the base. The McCain campaign has to work on generating enthusiasm consistently. They are seeing a significant uptick in activity — and the recent ads poking at Obama’s celebrity have helped.

What BS! McCain has deliberately ignored the base. Any “outreach” has been through idiots like Huckabee who don’t represent the base any more than the cranky liberal at the top of the GOP ticket. McCain’s people have been focusing on getting disgruntled Clinton voters to the point of suggesting that they’d put a pro-murder candidate in as VP. That isn’t even noticing the GOP base, let alone “paying constant attention” to their concerns.

This is all a big fat lie that will continue through the election cycle. If elected, McCain will become a defacto Democrat and the base will be told to go screw itself.

Fire Juan Hernandez and stop talking about “big oil”, and I’ll think about it McCain.

That would be a good start.

They feel that they are consolidating the party base, and are competing well for both independents and disaffected Democrats.

If by party base he means Republicans, he is sorely mistaken.

Probably Team Maverick expects Obama to announce huge numbers for July, and so they wanted to get ahead of the story by putting McCain’s numbers in context of the large RNC/state GOP fundraising operation. …

Except that most people do not even know who she is. Obama’s worst enemy is Obama. Every time that moron opens his mouth, Howard Dean cringes in anticipation of the stupidity that is about to spew forth.

Of course, since Hillary’s got her name in the hat at the DemCon, who knows?

Around the the corner from me are three houses in a row with mcCain signs. One of the houses has two signs, and one has three signs!

Exactly, they are running a “the other guys worse” campaign… just tearing down Obama, not really telling the base why to vote for him…

Yes, tearing down Obama needs to be done, but IF they choose a Pro Abortion VP, all bets are off with the base, and NOT just with one issue voters… it will be a messege that he does not care about the Party Platform.

Yes, we have to constantly pay attention to the base. The McCain campaign has to work on generating enthusiasm consistently. They are seeing a significant uptick in activity — and the recent ads poking at Obama’s celebrity have helped.

Enthusiasm? Not really. It boils down to Obama vs. Not Obama. We’re seeing the clear choice now.

Well, okay, I liked the celebrity ad…but that’s got nothing to do with the base.

Keep talking, Nancy.
