I mean watch the video above and see how sadly pathetic and desperate she comes across. Answer: Rush et. al - are afraid Obama will mop the floor with McCain...
The prospect of Barack Obama debating (my friends, my friends) John McCain is delicious. Tony Blankley has called a debating Obama "a golden falcon"; in this context we can see McCain only as a dead duck.
Conservatives know, and I agree with them, that it would be easier for them to defeat Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama. In this they will be assisted by the millions of Obama Democrats who are so disgusted and appalled by HC's vile campaign tactics that they will refuse to vote for her even to support their party. In the unlikely case that HC should win the presidency, conservatives have the fall-back position that they can revive Ken Starr (or someone similar) and render an HC presidency non-functional with endless investigations, charges, and hearings.
If Obama loses, conservatives can't lose. Therefore this bright, competent, energetic, promising man must be stopped, smashed, lied about, ridiculed, defamed, and utterly destroyed. That's the American way. |

elections.
Ask John F'n Kerry. |

He wouldn't mop the floor with Huckabee. Huckabee knows his stuff. Obama does not. Even McCain will make Obama look like the fool he is but Huckabee would mop the floor with him. Huckabee is a better debater than any other candidate that was in the race. He would destroy Obama with the details.
GOP should have thought of this before they ran off an evangelical, business as usual. Maybe another 10 years of democrat idiocy and we can get a few years of corrupt republicans again. Whoo Hooo! |

I thought she was going to cry. |

she is the only one who can safely attack Obama without having the media drop on her like a ton of bricks. The GOP was put on the defensive by Bill Cunningham using Obama's full name; that does not bode well for attacking him full on...McCain showed he was a spineless appeasor of the media by apologizing. Apparently, Mccain has no problem insulting members of his own would be voter base in the basest terms (see immigration debacle) but he is terrified of actually attacking the democrat candidate in anything other than the most generic terms. In short, the GOP is going to get its collective a** handed to it because we're stuck with a weasel who'd rather be a democrat as our candidate. We'll lose big, and we deserve to. Perhaps McCain, after this loss, will decide to leave the party and spend the rest of his career p**sing on us from the other side of the fence, instead of the same side. |

It is mind boggling that any principled conservative can rationalize voting for a Democrat who is diametrically opposed to our own principles as an acceptable strategy. An arguement can be made for either one as being the more difficult candidate to beat but then an arguement can also be made that either candidate is beatable.
More consistently, even if you dislike Gov. Huckabee as a candidate, conservatives would be better off voting for him in the primary if only to hold John NcCain's feet to the fire thereby sending him the message that he cannot ignore the issues important to conservatives social or otherwise.
If we are lucky we'll end up with a brokered convention and conservatives will have another shot at selecting a different nomonee.
Those who want to revive Romney's campaign will be given a second chance and those of us that believe Gov Huckabee would clean either Democrat's clock would also.
That is a win-win strategy that doesn't compromise anyone's principles!

Hillary is CLEARLY the weaker (D) candidate. It's not her gender, her politics, her age, her appearance, her shrillness, or her lack of exprerience. It is her LAST name. Americans -- particularly conservative Americans -- will not stomach another Clinton WH.
The '08 GOP nominee could be tree stump and conservatives (and many Dems) would turn-out in DROVES just to vote against Hillary.
If I were a McCain supporter, I would actively campaign for Hillary in the primary. McCain's chances go down the crapper as soon as Hillary drops out. |
