Default McCain's troubles are just beginning

The media is so enjoying the prolonged Dem race that they haven't stopped to notice that McCain only received 73% of the vote in the Republican primary. 27% of Pennsylvanians (over 200,000 voters) went to the polls just to vote AGAINST the guy who was guaranteed to win the nomination.

Republicans are going to be sorely disappointed in November. Particularly those like Myboynoah who think the Dems are throwing this thing away.

WE hope you're throwing it away, the race is the Dems to lose. You're the Saundra Tanner of Anti Republicans though, so keep it up.

This is priceless spin.

Meanwhile Pastor Wright is keeping the issue alive by speaking out. The Obama strategists cannot be happy about this. LOL.

What spin? Did he or did he not lose 27% of the vote in a race against nobody?

And yes, Obama strategists would be much happier if Wright would stop talking. Better it happen now than October.

It may come down to who can say the least until November. After Bush the Dems should win going away but Obama and Clinton have proven they can't keep out of their own way. This throws it back to McCain and every time he talks he loses a little more of the conversative base. It's time for all three campaigns to shut it down, it may improve their numbers.

Instead of a do-nothing campaign, he should be the "say-nothing" campaign. Sounds like a winning combination. We can have Pastor Wright give Usama bin Barack his talking points about small minded, midwestern gun toting citizens.

Spin that winning 73% (or whatever it was) of the vote is a negative.

Heh. I know you think so.

He lost nearly a third of the vote to candidates who aren't even running! People actually woke up, drove to the polls and voted for people who can't possibly be the nominee anymore. That IS a negative.
