Scarborough: McCain Can't Win Without Rush, Dobson
By Mark Finkelstein | February 1, 2008 - 07:28 ET

Don't tell Joe Scarborough that John McCain's the stronger Republican candidate because he can attract voters in the middle. The Morning Joe host has depicted McCain as unelectable because of the opposition to him of two key conservative leaders, Rush Limbaugh and James Dobson.

Scarborough's comments during the opening segment of today's Morning Joe were prompted by an article in today's New York Times that included this line [emphasis added]:

Since his victory in the Florida primary, the growing possibility that Mr. McCain may carry the Republican banner in November is causing anguish to the right. Some, including James C. Dobson and Rush Limbaugh, say it is far too late for forgiveness.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: There are a lot of conservatives that I've heard grousing that have said "I would rather a Democrat win then John McCain."

McCain can't win with the GOP base. I am very conservative Republican and I'd vote for Obama before I vote for McCain. One OBL is much the same as the other and McCain is a proven liar, so no thanks!

As strange as this sounds, it would probably be better to have an open liberal than a closet liberal.

After hearing the immigration positions finally from the
dems last night , there really is no difference between
them and McCain

That being said , I think McCain is mentally unstable , At least
Hillary and Obama seem to be in control of their
mental capacitities as much as possible for raving symps

At least Hillary Clinton said she would not give illegal aliens driver's license but Obama said he will.
