I guess I take enough flack on this site, I can occasionally get on edge, but that's no excuse. Thanks for clarifying. |

I really don't see McCain ever being president and wonder if he won't go down as a Repub Walter Mondale. He has already lost the conservatie talk radio crowd; not a good harbinger. Having made this run, Mitt should come back in four years. |

Well, that's too bad. Romney will probably stick around, but really moves solidly into the "longshot" category with tonight's loss. One wonders what would've happened had Huckabee not split the conservative vote with him.
With McCain as it's nominee the Republican party is going to be in a weird place, no longer headed by someone who has any claim on conservatism. He might beat Hillary; I doubt he beats Obama. Tja, we had to have Carter in order to appreciate Reagan, right? |

What big names have endorsed Romney? Huckabee prevents Romney from winning in southern states. even if they went to convention, every other single candidate would endorse McCain. Talk by reporters of GOP power brokers "consolidating" around McCain. In polls, Romney's electability in general election is low. |

Romney can win plenty of delegates from California. It is not winner take all. You get 3 delegates for each Congressional district you win. There's also Utah, Colorado, Montanan, Alaska, and a few other states Romney can win. |

I doubt she came up with this on her own. There is a certain wing of Evangelicals that are very cultish in their sheep-like tendancy to follow and believe what they are told by their religious leaders. I'm sure Romney's Mormonism has been discussed and she has been told not to vote for him. This bothers me and other Mormons. That religion and politics are separate is pounded into our heads from the time we are very young. Furthermore, we vote freely for people rarely knowing their religious affiliation (I know, I know, not in Utah. I point out that there are more North American Mormons living outside Utah than inside.). It would be out of the norm to disqualify anyone based on such a thing. We feel like they are cheating. And it may also bring up upleasent memories of times past when persecution of our forebearers went ahead with the support of such "Christian" people. |

If your party has any spine left, they will. Otherwise, welcome to irrelevance. |

It may yet happen (I certainly hope so), but I think after tonight the odds diminish. Quote:

I don't think a backlash would have happened already, by the way. Republicans have been dancing around trying to figure out which of the 5 candidates is most like Reagan. They went so far as to find an actor to run for president. Now that the party is down to two people, and the frontrunner is nothing like Reagan, you will see a backlash. It is all a bit desperate and amusing from my perspective. |

The party is experiencing some growing pains, no doubt, but I'd rather have our internal debate be over issues than over race. Worry about your own problems, mate. |

At the end of your debate, we got Bush. At the end of our debate, we can get Obama. We win. |
Is it possible to short sell Cali? Every prediciton he's made this election has been spectacularly wrong. It's comical.

For the first time in a few decades, the Dems are actually opening the door to alienating large numbers of blacks. Should be interesting. |

Child's play compared to Clinton's race baiting? I am not going to defend what the Clintons said, but how can you even place it on par with accusing your opponent of siring a black baby? Comparing Obama's win to that of Jesse Jackson is WORSE than saying McCain fathered a black child? At least I know where your moral compass lies (pun intended). |

In any case, the Republican party is going to be just fine. There's not going to be .... *chuckle* ... a 3rd party candidate. Conservatism may not win out this year, but it's not going anywhere, much to your liberal chagrin. |
