Thread: WE ARE LOSING THIS BATTLE

There are reasons for what is happening , Pay very close attention
to what some of these posts say and you will learn a lot

In NH and SC the independent voters are going for McCain , that is
what drove his wins in those states ,

Now we are going into close voting states where the indies can't vote
in Repub races ,

The polling stated that in NH and SC the base repubs rejected
McCain almost 2 to 1

When our base starts to speak on their own , the support
won't be there for McC

Also , best scenario for Florida

Either a first for Romney or Rudi

Rudi is dogmeat around the country and with our base so a win
for him in Florida means nothing

The worst outcome is a McCain win in Florida

I think we need to remember we defeated Amnesty from passing not just once but several times in the last year.
that is a huge success!

USANevada makes relevant points above.

Read this post (and comprehend it) to see how weak McCain's SC victory actually was. You will not see this analysis in the Associated Press or Fox news:

http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/? ... BiYWIyYWE=

" In 2000, running against George W. Bush and the entire Carroll Campbell machine in South Carolina, John McCain got 42% of the vote, and 240,000 votes out of 573,000 or so cast.

Tonight, he got 33% of the vote in a field where his top challengers—Romney and Giuliani—aren't even running, and 135,000 actual votes. If just the same people who voted for McCain in 2000 had voted for him today, he would have won 50+% of the South Carolina vote. That would have been truly impressive.

Instead, John McCain LOST the support of 100,000 people—and he's the winner?"

If you really want to see McCain's weakness, however, try this thought experiment:

It's October, 2008. America's economy is in a recession. People are demanding change and new ideas, someone to give them optimism and hope on domestic issues. On stage, facing off in their final presidential debate to discuss jobs, economic policy and hope for the future are John McCain and Barack Obama.

And be sure to imagine how it will look on television, and to people who don't really follow politics (they are, after all, the swing voters who will pick the next president).

Now, tell me again how any Republican won tonight...?"

Here's the count so far (post from Hugh Hewitt):

..the RCP Delegate Count:

Romney 59
Huckabee 38
McCain 32
Thompson 5
Giuliani 1

CNN has Romney with 66, Huckabee 38, and McCain 26, but you get the picture.

In terms of total votes cast in primaries and caucuses to date (excluding Wyoming, for which I don't have a total):

Romney 530,162
McCain 510,132
Huckabee 339,824
Thompson 103,553
Giuliani 59,312

Different count here also

After learning about how easily those voting machines can be hacked, whenever I hear election results I have the suspicion the vote has been tampered with. Especially those Diebold machines, because apparently they are the easiest to hack. They had those in NH I know.

THAT is what is sad.

This might sound bad, but I wish those people wouldn't vote. They should just stay home and keep sitting on their butts on the couch watching American Idol and let those of us who are informed decide.
