Mc Cain winning Florida shows that the conservative movement has failed. Mc Cain is a moderate/liberal. Hooray to the failure of the ultra conservative movement in America. America has returned to it's moderate roots.

Take a look at the high profile legislation McCain has attached his name to in the last few years
McCain-Feingold - that gave us supression of free speech and the current corrupt campaign finance regulations
Kennedy-McCain - the immigration reform debacle that didn't pass after the public learned about the details in the bill
McCain-Lieberman the carbon emissions cap and trade scheme or should I say scam?
According to an analysis by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) and the Congressional Budget Office, it would be disastrous. For example, the restrictions would likely increase energy costs by 30-50 percent, and reduce U.S. GDP by $106 billion. That amounts to a tax increase of about $1,000 on every American household.

AG was really "wishing" a winner. Choosing to listen to the old guy behind the Circle K isn't the way to pick anything.
It seems the "MSM" polls were entirely right on, for the most part.
Romney will be hit, and hard, throughout the south.

Be kind to AG she has lost a father figure & a would be duce all in a short time.
At least she'll be able to see old newsreels of McCain when he was really a war hero & maybe be able to make a new bond.

SECONDCHANCE:
"The Dems are not going to win the next presidential election, there's just no way. Sorry, but we will have a Repub in 08!"
You mean just like Repubs were elected in 2006? Oh wait, the Republicans didn't win in 2006-- in fact, despite gerrymandering (a la Tom Delay) and new laws making it very difficult to unseat an incumbent, the Republican incumbent majority was booted from BOTH chambers of Congress in 2006.

Well only if you consider corruption our moderate roots.
John McCain, Hypocrite
Politics â»» McCain sold favors to jailed Savings and Loan kingpin and junk-bond racketeer Charles Keating in the S&L scandals that rocked Congress in the early '90s - costing taxpayers some $600 billion. Now, McCain is back at the same old game, this time on behalf of Cablevision.

Don't be fooled by the myth of John McCain
Do No Evil â»» McCain is the candidate we should most avoid. His history is one of "silver spoons", academic failure, nepotism, marrying into wealth, corruption and extreme violence. McCain took huge campaign donations as "protection money" from a fraudster called Charles Keating. He has consistently supported violent suppression of democracies.

Great insight, for a liberal. Let's take a hard look at what really happened. In Florida you had only one race that counted. The DNC refused to count their own votes this time, so much for the party that "cares". The GOP got screwed once again by the DNC. Most of the supposed independents who voted were probably Dems just crossing lines. McCain is a dead man walking as far as the conservative base is concerned. He's lied to us and taken stands opposing us far to many times for us to ever trust him. His winning the ticket is a guarantee win for whomever wins the DNC nomination.

"Great insight, for a liberal. The GOP got screwed once again by the DNC. Most of the supposed independents who voted were probably Dems just crossing lines."
That is POOR insight, even for a neocon. The FACT is that the Florida primary is a CLOSED PRIMARY--meaning only REGISTERED REPUBLICANS were allowed to participate in the Republican primary. McCain won because Republicans voted for him, NOT because Independents and Democrats crossed over to vote for him.
It's amazing how much misinformation you spread.
http://election.dos.state.fl.us/online/faq.shtm...
"Since Florida is a closed primary state, only voters who are registered members of the two major political parties (Republicans and Democrats) may vote for their respective party's candidates in a primary election. Registered minor political party voters and voters without party affiliation are not eligible to vote for major party candidates in a primary election."

You got a positive because of your expounding about only one election counting, an important observation. But there were no crossover or independent votes, it was a closed primary.
Let's say McCain were to run against Hillary, who do you think they'd vote for? He still has a reluctant conservative base who demographics show do vote.

Sacred underwear and magical golden tablets, no beer drinking, women clothed from head to toe...
McBain workforce clearouts, taking money away from public higher education, "missionary" instead of soldier, record of raising taxes, but nothing much to show for it...
Maybe that's interesting for a leader in Salt Lake City, just not in the "real" USA.
I can't wait to see the showdown out west between McCain and Romney. The bucket of ruptured rectums that gets the nomination after that battle won't look so good. Neither will the whitey vs. balack fight that seems to be brewing in the dem camp.
WooHoo! The USA gets to "pick a winner", again!
Things are looking ripe for either/both Nerder and Bloomersburgers to jump in!

Don't get me wrong I will still back the Democrat's this cycle. The Republicans still need a slap down for the last 7 years. But if the Democrats screw it up I will scream for their heads as well. The Republicans have had 7 years and have ******ed them away. Democrats I warn you don't make the same mistake.

the only problem with a McCain win is that i think hes actually more electable than romney. i was really hoping huckabee would get the nomination because hed be so easy to beat. as for rudy, now he can start looking for #5.

At least with Huckabee (though not electable) we would have somewhat of a choice. If McCain wins we are guarenteed to have a Democrat in the White House. The only question is will it be the Democrat running on the Democratic ticket or will it be the Democrat running on the Republican ticket.

Electable is not what this country needs! We need people in government who are "honorable" and who will "obey" the oath of office they would be required to take.
What we don't need is the best "candidate" money or the MSM can shove down our throats!

Amazing downfall for Rudy considering his early polling numbers last summer and fall... He only had one issue to run on and that was 9/11. The more people saw of this man the more they disliked him.
Time Magazine is reporting that Rudy will get out of the race on Wednesday and will endorse John McCain.

The left can attack Rudy all they want but I liked what he did in New York. I remember when fast Eddie Koch was running things. Crime was huge. Adult book shops all over Times Square, hookers everywhere, and the live sex shows. Rudy promised to clean things up and he did a pretty good job. You can rip on his lifestyle or infidelity but as someone who live in New York before and after, I like what he did.

Clinton didn't win anything. The DNC nullified that primary as well as Michigan's. Unlike Michigan, where Clinton refused to support the DNC, other Democratic candidates were already on the ballot in Florida. Clinton broke her vow not to campaign in Florida (unless all those Clinton lawn signs were left over from 1996). Now her and hubby are pushing to make the votes count. She's a cynical political operative who'll do anything to get elected. I won't vote GOP, but I don't know if I can hold my nose tight enough to vote for her.

And some here believe that is why McCain won a very close race here. You can not vote in the primary unless you are registered with a certain party. The talk around the state is that many Democrat(ic)s went and registered as Republican and cast their votes for McCain. Also many cast early ballots for McCain before they knew his record and his real positions on issues and wish they had not. The state is pretty much a 50/50 split if you add up the total number of votes for either party. Here in SW Florida it is highly conservative and many relocated here from the upper east coast to get away from liberal taxation policies. It will be very close again in the General election.

"Clinton didn't win anything."
Huh? Where have you been? She most certainly won. If it didn't matter, why else would they bother to count the votes? You jokers that say it doesn't matter make me laugh! The rest of the country know which candidate Florida voted for and as the votes tell us...Florida wants McCain and Clinton. It is time for a woman as president.

in the end, those delegates WILL be seated....
but heres the BEST part....
in a democratic primary that supposedly "DIDNT EVEN MATTER", Hillary still got TWICE the number of votes as the republican winner. what makes that even worse is that many cons are saying dems crossed over to vote McCain, and he still got only HALF the number of votes as the democratic winner.
if you guys are smart enuf to nominate McCain, you just MIGHT have a shot, as many ind and moderate dems will vote for him. Romney or Huckabee, not so much.

I would sugggest that you don't talk about "mormon cult" until you consider the church that Obama attends.
If you bring up religion on the Republican side it makes religion on the Democrat side fair game.

I stand corrested. What Hillary won was the respect of the Florida voters who will now support her in the General, and all those voters that are voting in future primaries can see that Hillary stood for right, and Barak Hussein Obama dissed the Florida voters, and therefore do not earn their support. Hillary is smarter then I gave her credit for, and once again proves you can't beat the Clintons.

"She simply says NOTHING about it. WHY?????"
Because she doesn't have a clue. She is in WAY over her head already. It will be fun to watch her fumble and fall over the next few months, and see Billy BJ go down with her.
And the Foot Locker salesboy can NOT get elected.
This party is FINISHED.

The idiot with the "9/11" tattooed on his forehead is finally out of the running. He was the "LEAST" qualified candidate for the office after Bush. Of course, Bush did not get elected, he was appointed by his cons in the Supreme Court. As for 2004 win, the elections were rigged by Karl Rowe & Amigo Gonzo.

This certainly has given a boost to both McCain and Hillary.It certainly doesn't hurt.The media will turn more to them(free advertizing) at least temporarirly.
For Hillary, although no delegates, at least has negated the 2 Kennedy non endorsements.
For McCain, I suspect this will give him the perception of the front runner at least psychologically to many.
How this will play out on Super Tuesday who knows.But a win is a win is a win.
One possible scenario come convention time-The repub nominee will be set. The dems-Hillary or Obama will each have enough delegates each to create drama, behind the scenes negotiating and "floor fights."
