McCain vs. Obama

Remembering our early predictions that this race will be a race between McCain & Obama… don’t get too distracted by Hillary’s wins tonight.
Rather, pay close attention to the math.
Interesting article by Jonathan Alter - who says that Hillary could win the next 16 primaries - and still lose the nomination. And Politico.com reports that Obama [...]

Republicans Like Obama Almost As Much As McCain

Disturbing news.

Rasmussen reports that 25% of Republicans find McCain likable. But 23% of Republicans find Obama likable.
Among all adults, not just Republicans, Obama was found to be more likable than McCain & Hillary COMBINED!
Excerpts:
“There is something about Barack Obama that is hard to capture in polling and it’s an enthusiasm, it’s a freshness, it’s an [...]

A Little More About the Numbers

Just a little more about the numbers. At 10:45 pm - FoxNews is reporting these numbers:

In Texas, my home state, Democrats have cast approximately 1.8 million votes.  Republicans have cast 900,000 votes. And even with that huge disparity, only 48% of Democratic precincts are reporting, yet 55% of Republican precincts are reporting.
This again shows a [...]

McCain Wins Nomination

The RNC Titanic has officially hit the iceberg and has selected and old, establishment candidate whose greatest claim to achievement is reaching out to liberal Democrats and giving them what they want.
Check in with Malkin for more details.
Meanwhile, Hucakbee endorses McCain and says:
Speaking at a rally in Irving, Texas, Mr Huckabee said: “It’s now important [...]

McCain Channels His Inner Hillary

Frank Rich in the NY Times writes an interesting editorial. There’s much to disagree with of course, but some of his analysis ought to be revealing. It ought to reveal to us just how foolish it was to select a liberal Republican who represents the Washington establishment. Whether you like Huckabee or not, he would [...]

Obama Will Steal the Moderates

As previously pointed out on this blog, John McCain’s run for the White House is one that will meet with utter failure. The problem is simple. McCain has based his political career trying to run in the center. But the problem is simply that when he runs against Obama, he won’t have the center and [...]

Superstitious McCain?

Interesting matter which has received some, but probably not enough attention thus far. Is McCain really this superstitious? If so, this is more than a bit concerning from a man that wants to be the leader of the free world. Are we going to end up having as President a man who must have his [...]

Mike Gallagher: An Open Letter to John McCain

Over at TownHall.com - Mike Gallagher writes an open letter to John McCain. The article is quite worth reading. The whole deal reminds me of why its not worth the trouble to bother supporting McCain. As soon as you do, and as soon as you start to trust him a bit - he’ll stomp all [...]

Dump McCain

Pretty good posting here from Adam’s Blog.
Noteworthy excerpts:
 At this point in the race, John McCain is taking the tact of Bob Dole. Dole, in the waning days of the 1996 campaign after he won South Carolina, quit debating because he knew that appearing in a debate beside other candidates could only hurt him. It’s a [...]

The Unfinished Fence

Malkin writes today about the pitifully unfinished border fence with Mexico. Read about the sad, sorry job that’s being done to secure the southern border.
In connection with this, how much do we believe McCain, who sided with the Senate’s most liberal members to push through amnesty for millions of illegal aliens - when he says, [...]
