Is the 'Fix' in for McCain? appears so....

[Didereaux]

"The Union-Leader, the largest newspaper in the state, slammed Romney for lacking "conviction," and said that the more New Hampshire voters saw of him, the less there was to like.

"In this primary, the more Mitt Romney speaks, the less believable he becomes," the markedly conservative Union-Leader editorial board wrote. The Union-Leader has endorsed Arizona Sen. John McCain in the Republican primary."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Last week the Concord Monitor said pretty much the same. It appears that McCains high showings in head to head national polls has persuaded some political big guns to lock, load, & fire. Few on DU have been paying attention the last few months to the fact that no matter how low in an idividual states poll Mccain is against other Republicans of the moment, he has maintained strong polling against any Democrat in a general election head to head poll. John Edwards being the exception in the top three, of late he either ties or slightly beats McCain in the nat'l polls.

Before the Obama set or the Hillary camp go off their meds or totally postal, I ask that they research what I have written, it will save a great deal on their med bills. As for the Edwards group, don't jump up and down so hard that you shake loose a kidney and require dialysis, your man is in a statistical tie with an almost geriatic poster-boy who has kissed the buttocks of the the very people who destroyed his once viable chance at the presidency. His strength in the polls merely highlights the thinness of support the American electorate has fro the Democratic Party, helped along immeasurably by our latest crop of Democratic Congressmen.

The main thing to keep in mind is that McCain is THE danger, and Democrats must, for perhaps the first time ever, use their brains and choose someone who can defeat John McCain. This require certain compromises from those whose favorite may not be the best, and after the nomination it will require a very energetic, and sustained effort from D-Day to election day in order to bring out the vote and actually have more votes to count than are stolen.

The stakes are just to high to allow any republican at all get elected back to the Whitehouse. Its your future at stake, your childrens' future, and your grand childrens' future...it is the very nations future at stake. Just one more Alito, thomas, or Scalito and the USSupCT will be in the hands of the this nations enemies and they will control all three of the branches of government. Yes, the Congress too, for it matters not which party a person claims, it matters only to whom they obey, and the Democratic Congressmen have shown that a large majority of them are Democrats in name only.

1. The GOP Is Trying for a Dead Cat Bounce

Unfortunately, none of their candidates is as bouncible as a dead cat.

2. McCain is very popular up in New England among repubs, and

Romney was around here to show them all what a lying sack of crap he is, so the papers slamming him and endorsing McCain aren't a surprise to me, honestly.

3. Well, the boat anchor that McCain wears around his neck dates back to...

his Keating Five experience and the rip off of American Savings and Loans.

If you don't remember this, then for heaven's sake, google it.

4. Actually McCain is best of the bunch

among the Repubs running in this election. While he, like every other candidate, has more than a few flaws if a Repub were to win the WH in 2008 I'd feel better about McCain than the rest of their field. Still, let's hope it's not an elephant in the WH in 2008.

7. McCain is an absolute fuckwad

In fact, he's the WORST of that tribe.

5. McCain has absolutely no chance of being nominated

the RW hates him with a vengeance. He may do well in the Northeast, but that's about it. He has no chance. He's still in it because he hopes he can beat the radical RW. He can't. If they have to, they'll roll out the same stories that he's crazy from his time as a POW, among other smears.

6. You must be off your meds-

to reflect your own charming use of language- if you think that two NH papers' endorsement of McCain and slam of Romney, is a fix. You must really be off your meds if you think that national polls almost a year out, mean anything beyond the snapshot that they are. Start taking your meds again and perhaps you'll stop drooling inanities and delusions all over your keyboard. Romney is being backed by the top of the repuke party- not McCain. Look who's on board the Romney campaign, and watch for Romney's fixer in S.C., who was on bushco's team in 2000, to torpedo McCain in that state, just as he did 8 years ago. Get back on your meds, and you might be able to recognize reality.

8. What's with all the insults? The OP is right - McCain is the one to fear...

the rest of the field is practically un-electable. He's by far their best general election candidate.

9. Did you read the OP??

"Before the Obama set or the Hillary camp go off their meds or totally postal, I ask that they research what I have written, it will save a great deal on their med bills."

I'm just tossing it back to him. And JMac may be the most electable of the pukes, but there is no fix for him, and he is not the candidate that the big money movers and shakers are supporting. It's unlikely that JMac will win the nomination.
