McCain is not reich wing enough for Dobson and Limbaugh THANK YOU GOD AND GOP VOTERS !!!!

MCCAIN CAN NOT UNITE THE PARTY—–TO MUCH LIKE A DEM.
ROMNEY CAN NOT UNITE THE PARTY——-NOT HONEST
PAUL CAN NOT UNITE THE PARTY——- LOOSE CANNON

ONLY HUCKABEE WILL UNITE THE PARTY———–A TRUE CONSERVATIVE

GOD BLESS US ALL————————

Not for McCain: He's an American Citizen, still. It doesn't matter where you are born as long as you are born as a US Citizen. You can have someone born in Canada whose parents are American and claim they are a natural American citizen.

And it's amazing the animosity against McCain. Almost as amazing as the support of Ron Paul (I still don't get the appeal of someone running William Jennings Bryan's platform of bimetallism and isolationism), but I suppose that's to be expected. Of all the Republicans, he's easily the one I respect the most. Frankly, the Republican Party today is murdering itself behind stupid leaders (Bush) and selfish pundits (Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter) who feel they are actually more important than the people who actually do the work that they comment on.

Sen. John McCain deserves to lead the country–public interest is bigger than that of GOP.

The party would come together on it's own if Ron Paul gets the nomination

Is it wrong to hope McCain dies of a heart attack? It is starting to look like the only hope for our country.

Fortunately, this nomination fight is not over, except in the sense that the Democrats are sure to win if McCain in fact becomes the nominee. No true conservative will vote for him.

What a raw state of affairs when a perfectly good and well educated person entertains thoughts of a Presidential candidate's premature death being a happy and patriotic event. (The "Son of Cain" is 71. It could happen.)

And I am not alone.

Back to campaigning for his competitors!

How can McCain even run for President? He was born in the Panama Canal Zone. Check out his bio on his website, he leaves that little factoid out. If he wins, can he serve?

Just like Romney, she is trying to buy the nomination with her money. If you can't get people to support you financially, then I'm sorry you should give it up. Meanwhile ordinary folks continue to support Obama because they believe in his cause and vision for the country. Ordinary folks are propelling Obama all the way to the nomination and the presidency. That's the difference!

Definitely in favor of Clinton otherwise Florida and Michigan results will have to be recgonized.. If they are not recognized, it is already roumoured these states will go for McCain and Clinton supporters will switch to McCain in anger. It is also expected that the Republican conservatives will announce a colorful acceptance of McCain. Many people also believe that McCain deserves presidency as a reward for serving in the military and in congress for very many years.

I tatally believe that McCain will beat Obama in November '99 but he will not beat Clinton. Conservative acceptance will make healines that will energize the party. against Obama - a Blackman who's been against the military - literally laugh at their sacrifices in protecting the country and laughing at them for listening to the C-in-C's orders. Clinton did not demean the military.

This question goes to the voters of Arizona. This state is inundated with illegal immigrants, perhaps more than other states of the country. Senator McCain has been representing this state for 25 years. He did nothing to close state’s border with Mexico. Why people of Arizona kept reelecting this man to the senate, and now voted for him in presidential elections?

McCain is an old pandering fool. I can't ever forget how he spoke the gospel truth about Fat Boy Jerry Falwell and his ilk being "agents of intolerance," then surprised the hell out of all of us by speaking at Falwell's university commencement exercises. McCain only knows ONE thing — the war, the war, the war. He knows nothing about the economy, he couldn't define what an HMO is to save his life, and he certainly can't spell the words, "Illegal immigration." Yep, his imprisonment in Vietnam (I thank him for serving) has completely addled his brain!

Yes, McCain can reunite the "Republican" party if we conservatives only abandon our principles. No thanks. I'll prefer to lose with my honor and integrity intact rather than win by abandoning all that I am.

Check out Ronald Reagan's 1964 "A Time for Choosing" speech on YouTube (the full 9 minute speech). When liberals are mystified as to why conservatives "still" swoon at the memory of Ronald Reagan, watch this video and discover why.

The dems should be happy about this. A McCain nomination will ensure a Hillary/Obama victory. True conservative republicans will NOT vote for McCain. We will settle for another Jimmy Carter in office for 4 years rather than have McAmnesty de-face the GOP.

Congrats dems, you did it this year! Start planning your victory parties now.

McCain will not unite the (R) party. I would write in Mitt before voting for McCain.

McCain should have wrapped it up in Indonesia.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I will only consider McCain on following two conditions:

1. If Hillary is the Democratic nominee.
and
2. Huckabee is NOT the running mate.

I will vote for McCain if Hillary is the nominee, but only if McCain chooses a running-mate that is comparable to McCain. Given McCain's age, I do not want to wake up one day to see Huckabee (or Romney) as President of the United States. I am tired of the conservative extremists and extremists left. People like Romney and Huckabee are ultimate dividers, and they will further ruin this country. Nothing gets done, and never will. Aren't you sick of it? Can't we get along?

Charlotte, look at the Exit Polls for each primary state. It even shows county-by-county votes. They're available on CNN's Election Results.

Personally, I'm hoping Ron Paul runs on the Libertarian ticket. He has my vote.

I'm as disgusted with the current choices as the next guy, but staying home and not voting is 100% foolish. If you are that fed up, find a candidate in a small third party and support them. The GOP/Dems aren't changing course anytime soon, so if you disagree that strongly with them, find someone you can believe in. It's not "throwing away" a vote if you don't win, but not voting IS throwing away your vote.

True McCain has crossed the line, but isn't that what America needs? Do we want more of the same that we have had for the last 8 years? God forbid.

Not voting is not the answer. At least McCain is not claiming to "reunite the world" like Obama and his focused is on reuniting the US.

I would rather see McCain in office that Obama any day and will cast my vote for him if Obama becomes the Dem nominee; which I doubt.

I heard Fox News say today the Obama's claim to reunite the world is the same claim that Regan made. Doesn't surprise me that Obama still remains with nothing original, copycat a/h! Noe that is BAD!

Alice in Florida -

McCain is more of Bush. Much more.

If he wins, we are in Iraq for 100 years, we will give amnesty to all illegal aliens and on and on and on.

It should bother people in BOTH parties that McCain is winning on issues that his party has in overwhelming numbers refused to support. There is only a small contingent of war mongers in the party, and they do not want illegal immigration rewarded, yet McCain is winning, vs. Romney.

Something is wrong with the party, when McCain can be elected on these issues.

If this can happen to the Republicans, it can happen to any party.

It should worry us all..

How about a brokered convention with all 4 still running? I think that would be good for the country and the party.

Given the number of delegates remaining, there is no mathematical way that Huckabee can get the nomination. It is time for him to bow and let the people in the remain states make the right decision.

Every one needs to quit whining about the candidates. The three remaining candidates are the best of what this country has to offer. If there was a better solution, that person would still be in the race. They may be not the best candidates for your specific needs, but for the country as a whole. Remember that when you vote you are supposed to vote for what is best for your country.

McCain is coming on strong now and we had better be glad. He would have made us a good pres. in 2000 if he had the money to get past the Bush Bulldozer that bought their way in then. You've got to have a man that understands the military, terrorism, and foreign policy first, then the rest of the nations many,many,many problems can be addressed. But, we have to have strength and security before anything else. Go McCain, come-on haters, don't hate, appreciate !!!!

JACK NICHOLSON ENDORSES HILLARY CLINTON!

Of course, no coverage on CNN, because this is not as important as a headliner story such as Hulk Hogan endorsing Obama.

Shame on you cnn.

I can't imagine voting for McAmnesty…..unlike other comments I think Mccain being held in Vietnam must have addled his brain..why else would he want to give our country away to a bunch of illegal alien criminals! He is a shame & disgrace to the republican party…anyone that would team up with Kennedy shouldn't even be considered for president. I hate, hate, hate John McCain…….

Most elections are nothing but choosing between lesser and greater evils. The problem is figuring out which candidate is the greater evil.

Dear America,
Thanks for keeping us in the rest of the world entertained. Nothing beats the soap opera value that a US presidential election brings to the table.

-Canadian

A couple of thoughts…

1) A vote for Huckabee is a vote for Huckabee. What makes you think those voters who voted for Huckabee would have picked Romney as their 2nd choice? Romney's problem from the start was that he trashed his rivals in attack ads, then acted hurt when Huckabee/McCain hit back. Huckabee and McCain, whether they are wrong or right, cannot stand Romney… and as a result, I think a lot of their supporters can't stomach him either. As evidenced by the results in West Virginia, Huckabee supporters may very well have all gone to McCain in states like Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee… or at least a decent percentage of them. To continue to say that voting for Huckabee is taking votes away from Romney, it is just wrong! If you looked at the results yesterday across the country, Romney was in THIRD in almost every state! Huckabee would have the more legitimate argument that Romney is stealing votes from him!

2) The whole business about accusing McCain/Huckabee of a backroom WV deal is pathetic, especially coming from a campaign who 24 hours before stated that one of the two rules in politics is "no whining." I am by no means an expert… but if I was a McCain supporter in that room yesterday, and saw that my candidate had no shot to win… it would be a no brainer as to who I would go stand with. It is common sense!!!

3) "Conservatives" who say they refuse to vote for McCain or would vote for Hillary… Seriously… get a grip. You're actually willing to let Hillary pick the next 2-3 Supreme Court Justices? Doubt that.

Hillary 08

McCain needs Huckabee but it seems no one needs Romney. I like Huckabee.
How about a McCain Huckabee ticket? Then if BO sneaks in I would have someone to vote for.

A McCain - Huckabee ticket would do it. Just have to keep Romney at home in Utah or wherever.

McCain should not have to unite his party since Hillary's "claiming" that she'll do the same for the Dems. That being said, there is an unaccounted, unreported and rather large contigency of Democrats who won't vote for her under any circumstances. Couple that with her potential for rallying the Republican base, and I think the Republicans will keep the White House. Congratulations on the early Christmas present! Fifty percent of the country doesn't like Hillary and add to that 25-33% of Dems and the Republicans have a winning combo. I hope all the Republicans wade through hell to vote for McCain and save this nation from another Clinton!

"Straight Talk Express"? Don't make me vomit. More like "Straight Jacket Express"!

"Less Jobs, More War": Vote John Too-old-for-the-job McCain

i have no idea what the right-wing wants other than defeat.
mccain is pro-life, tax cutter / the emphasis of cutting spending as well, knows that the war on terror does not end just because you pul, out of iraq or afghanistan, and ruffles a few feathers that need ruffing time to time.
you guys stop w/ the roney thing, he betrayed more republican principles in his defeat v sen kennedy and yet that goes unblemished. besides, he has proven to be unwinnable in the south because he is a terrible campaigner. johnny mac and the huckster are beating him soundly w/ their pennies v his $$.

McCain might unite what's left of the Republican party. Millions of us are leaving the party as soon as he takes the nomination, and the GOP may never win us back.

If McCain wanted to help the American people, impeaching Joe Lieberman would be a good start.

McCain can't be serious. He is the most liberal Republican in over a hundred years. The conservative base is hoppin' mad and rightly so. The only unity in the forseeable future for the Republican party is if Hillary becomes the Democratic presidential candidate.

He would be wise to drop the anti-Romney rhethoric and begin a very inconspicuous pro-Hillary campaign right about…. NOW!

hiliary is a crying little girl, she can't run this country, what is she gonna do if we get into war CRY!!!!!! Besides the fact she dosen't even have a voice of her own all of her idea favor bill's idea when he was runnning. Go head and vote for Bill oop's i mean hiliary, but it won't matter because Obama is going to finish her by the end of this month.

Oh,Oh, another Surrender ! Sir, Yes Sir Mr. Murdoch !
Once a P.O.W. ; Always a Charmer!

McCain doesn't seem to understand something. HE WILL NEVER WIN. Both he and Bill Clinton's wife are deluding themselves if they think they have universal appeal. If it is Bill Clinton's Wife vs. McCain my guess is that turnout will be low most people will be too depressed to bother voting knowing we are in for at least four years of either of these idiots. The spectacle of Southern California being ceded to Mexico under either of their presidencies is too much to bear.

If either Romney or Obama top the tickets I will vote. If Bill Clinton's wife is on the ticket even in the second spot then I'm voting for the other candidate. Unless the other candidate in McCain in which case my ballot goes in the trash bin where hopefully his presidential aspirations will eventually land.

McCain's already announced he is the new King and will be taking over the world by any means necessary, even if it takes 100 years.

McCain is not a republican, he should run as Hillarys VP, Unite us? He's the one driving us in droves away the republicans, I Fought against McCain/Kennedy amnesty, I will fight again against McCain, Vote Romney, and if Romney drops out I will write in a vote, I'm tired of hearing McCain is a war hero, Thats great and I think every person, every paper has Thanked him for his service, so for that and that alone he gets the Presidency, Dont think so, He has Juan Hernadez on his campain staff, Mr. Open Borders himself, McCain voted on a bill that would in effect give Mexico its say about our Border Fence, he voted AGAINST an amendment that would have called for all gang members, criminals and terrorists here illegally to be banned from citizenship. Mr. Republican? Not My Republican, not my President.

If some support staying in Iraq for 100 years and ruins our economy, go ahead vote for Mc caine, I wouldn't and I hope america will not chose him to president.

there should be ban to run for office after 70 years of age , after that one should look after grand children and enjoy golden years

The problem is between Huckabee and Romney, and has nothing to do with McCain. Yes, he is a good man, and I do believe that he knows what he is talking about. If he would talk about it. I have heard nothing but rhetoric, bad rhetoric, thus far. No plans. If he would say something intelligent, maybe I would be convinced. But thus far all I hear is liberal nonsense. If he wants to unite the Republican party, he has to adopt conservative views, but of course, that will not convince anyone. We all know what he already believes. Let's not have a flip-flopper like Hillary.

That being said, let the conservatives unite behind Huckabee or Romney. Democracy means the majority wins, and the majority, thank goodness, is still conservative. So let's be rid of this fighting. Look, Huckabee, you won all those votes, yes, but you are still in third. Throw your support to Romney, and all those who would have voted for you will vote for Romney rather than side with McCain. That is the true union, none of this McCain nonsense. You can have the vice presidency. Let the true Republicans, those of us still faithful to conservative values, win.

And for goodness' sake, voters, let's think about our votes, shall we? Let's not vote for anyone because they're Mormon or because they're a POW or a woman or whatever, okay? That's how dictators are elected: people don't think about their votes. Let's approach this rationally. After all, we are electing our leader for the next four years. It's an important decision and shouldn't be approached like a popularity contest. The last thing we want is for people to see America as ignorant.

Then again, it may be too late. We already showed how easily people can win our votes, no matter how empty their promises.

I will not for McCain if he is the nominee, absolutely not. I simply don't believe a word out of his mouth, do not believe he is a conservative and his ability to unite the party is seriously in question to say the least. Our family will write in our choice. Great post Matthew!

To Charlie:

I'm currently serving in Iraq have been here for 3 tours. I have received 2 purple hearts and a silver star . Do I have your vote? I hope not because a service record shouldn't be a determining factor. I'm not going too vote for Sen. McCain I would rather vote Democrat.

Juan McAmnesty is going to lose in Nov

Let's ask a legit question….why hasn't John done any open forms or town hall meetings in his home state - if he can remember where that is. Go to the people - get our questions and feedback. What has John done for Arizona since his last election? Why, he's MIA! He's hot on the campaign trail and only leans on his political career as experience in the political arena. What about the war? John says he is one of the few with military experience. Does this really qualify him to run a war that is such a controversary to the US citizens? What about the border problem? NO ONE wants to tackle this topic!! Not even John because John will not want to tackle a problem that has to do with what the majority of US citizens really want - border protection. What about John's age? John should be looking for less stress jobs - we need someone young enough to run the office - not let the office run him! We the people are looking for honesty, good solid business and personal ethics, and a sincere interest in the United States and it's peoples. John will not bring any of this to the office of President of the US. I think it's time for an addition to the ballots - "None of the above" would perhaps force a break to the grid lock we are seeing.

Hillary has NEVER been true to herself (except for the greed factor) and especially NOT to the people (how quickly people forget her fiascos with Whitewater, missing evidence, WalMart, secrecy, shady tactics, scandals of Chinese officials, and the ridiculous push of the Clintons to sell out our country to China which accounts now for all our jobs gone and everything Made in China. Hillary runs only on her name and her womanhood. Most Democrats and Independents were NOT behind Hillary.

Obama actually SAVED the Democratic Party because so many people hate Hillary and the Clintons that the Republican Party would win no matter who is the nominee and that still could happen if she gets nominated by Democrats.

Even in speeches…Obama is sincere…Hillary has to read hers, insincere, and actually copies her delivery and words to try to match Obama's. I thought it was funny when she tried to shout and sound like Obama that she lost her voice. Hillary should try to be herself and honest for once in her life.

The only person like Bush is McCain…warmongers

No McCain you will not be able to unite the Rebublican Party because YOU ARE NOT A REBUBLICAN!!!! I will not vote for you in Nov. but I will also not stay home. I will write in Romney for my vote in Nov. if he doesn't get the nomination. Please people vote even if the one you want doesn't get their parties nomination. Use your voice and vote for the men or woman whose issues and character you think will make the best Pres. even if you have to write their name in.

After eight years of the goofball in the White House, we Democrats could nominate Bozo the Clown and still win in November. W is the Republican party's worst nightmare, and I think that's the only good thing he's done!

I want to know how many blacks voted for each Republican candidate? How many women? How many of the women were black/white. How many Hispanics? How many with a college degree? How many Asians? How many under 25? How many over 40? What was the median income of each group. The media seems to think the democrats need to know these little details?

Here we go again. The republic party favorite chant.
Fear, smear and queer.

If a Democrat gets elected, the terrorist have won.
If the tax cuts for the wealthy are not extened, the terrorists have won.
If my eggs at Denny's get served runny, the terrorists have won.
If we have healthcare for all Americans, the terrorists have won.
If we give benefits to Veterans, the terrorists have won.

If McCain is 2nd best to Bush in '00 and now they want to elect McCain?
Does anyone not get it?
Republicans = Horrible economy
Republicans= War with out cause
Republicans= Scandals, Lies and Jeff Gannon.
The 2nd best of the worst.
Yeah, umm, good luck with that.

By nominating John McCain we are destroying the republican party. We are injecting a new type of liberal Trojan horse visus into our noble party. His leadership will destoy the economy of the country he will lock us into a new 100 years war. He will raise taxes, I mean he voted against the tax cuts. He will extend the olive branch over to the likes of Ted Kennedy and Joe Liberman. Handing over control of the country to the left of society. These are the people that want to make abortion avalible to 12 year old girls and eliminate any parental notification. McCain will destroy our nation. May be its time for a true conservative party maybe its time to put the hurt on the republican establishment. Being that McCain represents the washignton Republican Establishment. They don't represent the right anymore. they have drifted to the left of middle. They are not the beliefs that make conservatives want to be republican. Maybe Ross Perot, as much as I don't like him because he gave us the Clinton years. For now If McCain is the republican nominee I will vote for the Democrat, at least when they screw up the economy it won't be the republicans fault. I guess I have to Say GO OBAMA as much As I hate to vote for a democrat. He is the lesser of 3 evils.

Oh, sure, it could happen! Come on now, let's give McCain the benefit of a doubt. Nah, can't do it, at least not with a straight face. He has sold every Republican down a river and did while he was smiling at us with his goofy thumbs up standing in front of the 'Straight Talk Express'. I do not understand this guy whatsoever. What makes me even sicker is the fact that he and Huckabee have seemingly formed a secret alliance to force Romney out. Huckabee CANNOT believe he has a snow flake's chance in hades to pull this out. He is only there to ensure that Romney doesn't win the nomination. Why do they want to take the nation?

McCain does't have to worry a nonosecond about uniting the Republicans.

He's going to outsource that to Hillary Clinton, while he goes around the country sharing his vision for America and winning over youths and blacks whose dreams and hopes were shattered by stingy and selfish Clinton ambitions.

God, I hope it doesn't come to that.

Listen, everybody, John McCain is not conservative, especially not in the Way Robert Taft, Barry Goldwater, or even Reagan was. John McCain is the new conservative. The 'Old Right' is dead, and people need to get past it. No more worrying about smaller government, because we're fighting terrorists and we need to keep focused. All this talk about people jumping over the border is ridiculous! Many of these folks end up serving honorably in the armed forces and we have no right to deny them of that. These 2 things are the backbone of the OLD platform… It's time to make a new platform, and John McCain is the guy to lead us into realizing this new territory! Go John GO!!!

Actually, this guy is a nutjob, but it's true, the Republican party is dead as you know it…

McCain is just more of the same Bush politics. He would not cater to the extreme religious right and next thing he is doing is hugging and giving speeches for them.

Fact is that nobody who REALLY deserves to lead a country ever WANTS to lead a country, so we're left with those who WANT to - and we have to choose the lesser of the evils.

Since I don't really believe any of them, I'll have to vote for whoever I think is the most HONEST…. because regardless of policy, I'd rather know the truth, than live with blinders on.

Everyone knows that we can't round up 12 million illegals but we can send them back as we find them clean out our jails and penitentiarys. Cut off free social services . Anyone who can't understand that securing our boarders , ports and airways is the starting point for homeland security. Without that homeland security is a joke. The money has been spent in other places, Chertoff said he had the premission to spend it anywhere he wanted. House and senate voted to cut that money but that hasn't got out into the main media. It's just to hard to believe McCain on some issues he falls too easy to either side. It's getting easier and easier for him to look in the cameras and lie, lie, lie them smile. He just can't be trusted. That's pure clinton. The only recourse republicans ahve is to get Obama in, take back the house and senate to keep him reined in a little and go from their. But McCian is NOT OUR ANSWER.

McCain will unite Republicans only in defeat. Whether Obama or Clinton, a Democrat will be in the White House in 2009.

If Romney had played nice through Iowa (and since), he'd have friends still. As it stands, he aimed his guns at Huck + Mc, and brought them closer together.

Romney has no one to blame for himself. You don't kick the only other kids on the schoolyard, then wonder why they don't invite you to play.

I totally agree with this post from above: A sorry sorry state for the citizens of this great country. If McCain should win the nomination, we the voter are left with ZIP. We have big, bigger, and biggest government to date; tax, tax, let me be your scapegoat government socialism, and war, war, war. ALL WANT THE ILLEGALS AND AMNESTY. I strongly fear, IF McCain is nominated, he will revert to his LEFTIE political side. He is in NO WAY a republican, no way. I DO NOT believe he can unite the Republican base OR unite our country. We will be very sorry as a country for years and years to come, and may never get our freedoms and liberties and soveriegnties back.

IF McCain / Hillary / Obama are nominated ….

It is indeed a sad day that we must inform the people of the world of the death of a beloved grand old matriarch. We hesitate to tell only because many of her immediate family have not been informed of her untimely demise. Several attempts have been made to inform them but to no avail.

She was conceived with love and honor and with the sanction of God above. She was reported to have always represented all that was good and was said to be a beautiful, feisty, independent soul with a constitution as solid as a rock. Many testified she was a God fearing soul who taught the people she loved how to appreciate their God given rights.

It seems an unidentified illness crept into her life and slowly sapped away her vitality and much cherished freedom. She eventually found herself confined in her last moments and she slipped away while family watched in disbelief.

Imagine their dismay when the illness was diagnosed as a well known disease, the effects of which could easily have been reversed if the symtoms had been recognized by attentive healers.

America - She will continue to live on in the minds and hearts of the people who cherished and cared for her.

To quote Bill Bennet from last night, Ronald Reagen is dead and he is no Lazarus….he will not rise from the grave. BTW, Reagan raised taxes, signed an amnesty bill and worked with the super liberal Tip O'Neal on social security and other issues. You conservatives have this fantasy of Reagen in your minds but the guy was pragmatic. He cut deals with the dems in California and in DC. Sure, McCain will lose in November but so would Willard Romney and the Huckster. The repubs are out of ideas and exciting candidates (although Huck has a good sense of humor).

What is a conservative? If Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater were alive today, who would they side with? I suspect 100% behind McCain, 0% for Limbaugh and his idiot cronies. Limbaugh has no idea how he has alienated a large portion of his audience with only the angry minority left listening to him. McCain wants to "win" wars, wants to eliminate pork barrel spending, wants less corruption in government, wants less influence by special interests, wants smaller goverment that works, wants to balance the budget, wants to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. He like Teddy Roosevelt is a reasonable environmentalist and appreciates the outdoors. How is that not conservative? As a conservative Republican (more in the Goldwater mold) I have never liked Limbaugh. He likes the angry, greedy, unprincipled, K-street, Tom Delay, Jack Abermoff, demogogues that highjacked the party in the 90s. Abundant sleeze.
Believe it or not both Goldwater and Reagan were friends with Teddy Kennedy. Not that they agreed with him, but with the realization that they had to work with him to get things done.

a significant number of people have been disenfranchised by the recent Primary elections by only being able to cast “provisional” ballots, which (if my information is correct) are not actually counted. This happened to a friend of mine who drove me to the registrar of voters because my polling place was not open at 7am when I arrived there to vote. I was registered at Colina Del Sol, while my friend was registered at Mira Mesa. He figured as long as he was taking me to the registrar, he’d cast his ballot there as well. It was not until he checked his ballot receipt the next day that he noticed, in tiny letters, the word “provisional” printed on it. They did not notify him that if he voted at the registrar’s office instead of his polling place that his vote would be provisional, and thus not counted.

In addition to this first-hand experience, I am hearing stories about college students – a very large percentage of them – having to vote provisionally due to some error with the registrar’s office. It is imperative in this day and age that our civil liberties not be trampled on and that our votes, ALL of our votes, are counted legitimately and properly. That is, after all, what being American is about. Those people who took the time out of their day to contribute what they rightfully can and should to the betterment of this nation should not be denied their voice. If you have the resources, I beg you to please investigate these events, and expose any possible fraud that may have been perpetrated on these voters.

I for one have had enough of Republicans trickle down economics - PERIOD. Look at where it`s gotten us economically under G.H.W. and Jr.!! I will NOT vote for "just another Republican". I may even vote for a Democrat while holding my nose. —–Where is a GOOD Independent when you need `em.

In all honest I voted for Romney. I was a little disappointed with the results but not to the extent McCain haters seem to be. If McCain is nominated who is our alternative?

So you say you don't like McCain's views on illegal immigration? Have you taken to view minutes necessary to learn what Hillary's views are?

Hillary said the GOP immigration reform bill was "an unworkable scheme to try to deport 11 million people, which you have to have a police state to try to do." Hillary is also in favor of "a path to earned citizenship for those who are here, working hard, paying taxes, respecting the law, and willing to meet a high bar for becoming a citizen."

If you have to decide between Hillary and McCain then immigration is not your biggest concern. Their views are identical. In that light you must decided between the two based on conservative values, such a the right to life and national security. Hillary is not your conservative candidate.

McCain is the GOP's best hope. A McCain / Huckabee ticket is a winner because it indeed unites the moderate and conservative republicans.

mccain will win if romney and huck keep splitting the conservitive vote,if huck had dropped out before,mccain and romney would be in a real race,the way it looks now there will be a democrat in the white house next year

What would the delegate count be if the winner take all states divided their delegates proportionally?

Cliff Stevens

Great, another George W. Bush in office who is ready for the New World Order. But you moderators prolly wont let this message be seen by others cause you are all part of your great conspiracy against the ordinary people.

Ernest Mitchell,

No, I'd like to hear what YOU think we should do with the 30 million illegal immigrants who are here? Maybe your main man, Mr. Romney, can summon whatever sinister Mormon spook he worships and make them all disappear?

How do you propose we get rid of 10% of our population?

What ? Lost to Moderation again?
I'll persist
Sadly…
Most democrats were unified behind Hillary and thrilled with her on the ballot.
Then along came the Unifier, Obama and created a nasty split in the party.
I've learned that the people decide who can unify- Not the one who pontificates and proclaims himself to be the unifier.
Remember Bush.
Obama let his EGO drive this race and forgot about the good of the people.
Hillary God Bless you for staying true to yourself, to your beliefs, to the people (all of them) who you represent.

If McCain gets the nomination I will simply stay home on election day. As a republican I would rather have Obama in the whitehouse……….. sad.

Yep, you won by a larger margin in AZ, and got oh, so close in UT. You lost by only, what, 85%? Sorry, McPain, but you got handed the biggest loss of the night. I would LOVE to see what would happen in my home state of Utah, if it ends up being McCain/Hucklebee vs. Obama/anybody. Would the one state who has never lost faith in Bush, finally go democrat?

I'm surprised why conservatives hate McCain. Their bloodthirst for endless war will be satisfied by John's penchant for 100 year occupations, and if he picks Huckabee as VP their obsession with jesus, the end times and the tribulation will be sated by Huck's religious Taliban-style idealogy.

Obama/Hillary dream ticket? Heck, Mccain/Huckster is the GOP dream ticket of war and the 2nd coming of christ.

Willard, it's time for you to drop out. Nobody wants to vote for a multi-millionaire corporate plutocrat CEO wannabe, especially not one who's a member of your demonic cult.

The people have spoken last night. Christians voters chose Mr. Huckabee. All other Republicans who arent Mormons, or who don't have a six, seven, or eight-figure incomes, voted for John McCain. Who does that leave you with?

It's an indictment of conservatism itself. Conservatives turned out to be radicals and did things no mainstream, normal American would consider, all the while braying that the other party was dangerously crazy. It's nice to watch the GOP purge itself of the radical element and head back to the mainstream where the rest of us are swimming.

Billary can not beat McCain.

YOU GOT MY VOTE JOHN, ANYONE WHO GETS SHOT DOWN , RECEIVING MANY INJURIES AND MORE WHILE A POW , WILL KNOW WHAT OUR BOYS
NEED WHEN THEY COME HOME. I THINK JOHN IS A BALL BUSTER LIKE HARRY TRUMAN. HE WILL GET THINGS DONE. HE IS BOTH A SHAKER AND A MOVER.
YOU HAVE WHATS LEFT OF MY BLANK CHECK, THAT IS AFTER BUSH EMPTIED IT.

CHARLIE

"wrap this up?" excuse me, but you only have half the delegates you need. I don't think this is over, and you're starting to sound entitled, John. And since when did "conservative" mean war forever? I really think this guy will be pretty easy to beat in November by ANY Democrat. He doesn't want to talk about the economy, and that is what Americans are most concerned about right now. (Wait, let me guess-there will be some attack somewhere and McCain will get to show his "leadership" in a crisis.) Save us!

Juan McCain and Juan Hernandez that is uniting enough for me. I want to know what you are going to do with 30 million ILLEGAL ALIENS that are in this country. I really do not want to hear the crap about the peanut fine and all is gonna be good. All I hear out of you mouth is close the border.

Oh, I guess I need to stop the rumors of Huckabee's dropout. Here' a message from Huckabee today :0)
"We had a great night tonight and now it is time to get reorganized for the contests ahead.We have upcoming votes in: WA, KS, and LA on Feb 9 and DC, MD and VA on Feb 12.
We will launch new online headquarters for MD, VA, DC, KS, LA, WA and WI tomorrow. Emails will go out tomorrow morning to our supporters in each of these states detailing ways to help.
If you live outside of these states but have friends and family that live there please encourage them to learn more about Gov. Huckabee by visiting our website."

So if you want to help you can join the HUCKABOOM

McCain will not unite the GOP. He works with the democrats, not with the republicans. He abandoned American's on the immigration issue and is going to divide the GOP and help a democrat win the white house.

I have NEVER voted Democratic, but if John McCain is the nominee, i will. This guy will only tear apart the country. Please vote for a true republican people!

Romney 08

I voted for Romney. I will stay home to see McCain to craush by Demos. I agree with Mark.

McCain wouldn't get my vote if he were the last man on earth. I am sticking with Romney and if he doesn't get the nomination then I am not voting in Nov. Unlike Mr. McCain/Kennedy, I don't need an election to remind me which country I should show my alligence to. I don't need an election to remind me we speak English in America. I don't need an election to teach me that stealing American citizens social security cards for illegal employment is wrong. I don't care if he is a "war hero" that does not give him the right to take my hard earned tax dollars and use them to "enable" an very oil rich country (Mexico) by providing health care, education, food stamps etc. to the poor citizens they push over the border because they don't want to care for them. Let Mr. Fox and Calderon do without and give some of that oil money up for schools and hospitals and food for the poor in their country. It is their responsibility. HOLD FREAKIN MEXICO ACCOUNTABLE - Just say NO to McCain/Kennedy. Now and forever! I don't need to believe that someone who called me a biggot because I put America first and I want my taxes to go to America (not illegals so they can send 54 billion in remittances home) will now Kiss and make up for my vote? NO sorry - saw your soul the first time you showed it.

If that no talent, no experience, creepy, self satisfied, smug, embodiment of the worst qualities of the Republican party, McCaine gets the nomination, I swear I'll vote for Mike Gravel.

Only Governor Huckabee has the proven experience at balancing budgets and working across the aisle. He truly wants what is best for ALL of America, not just the Republicans. His true belief and optimism in the power of the American people to fix the problems we face is stronger than any other candidate out there.

He not only talks the talk better than anyone else, he has also proven he walks the walk.

If anybody should be calling it quits, it should be Romney. Huckabee has no reason to quit, he's raised less than a tenth of the money Romney has and has consistently done better than him. As long as you aren't wasting millions, no reason to get out.

Further, I still don't understand how McCain is "liberal." He will install two justices like Roberts and that is good enough for my vote. If a Democrat is elected, they'll install three justices who don't mind writing all over the Constitution.

Vote for whomever you want, but at least be reasonable about it. I don't know remember when the hard right checked reason at the door.

When did conservatives become outright flaming idiots? I always thought they were smart, pragmatic folks. So when a some knuckleheaded conservatives on this board (yes, Henry Miller from Cary, NC, I'm looking at you) say they'll sit home in Nov. and NOT vote if McCain is the GOP nominee, the GOP will deserve what it gets when Billary nominates three (yes, count them conservatives, THREE) Supreme Court Justices. The first one being Bill Clinton.

So if you are a true, smart, pragmatic conservative, you will vote for anyone on the GOP ticket just so Billary or Obama Bin Laden don't get in office a F up this great country of ours. You think the term "distribution of wealth" is just a catch-phrase? Wait until these two jokers get a chance at turning America into a European subsidiary. Just sit at home in Nov. and feel all good about you and your stupid F-ing "conservative principles" while the Court goes Hyper-left and the country goes Socialist. Nice job you idiots!!

Get out and vote GOP!!!!! Or suffer the consequences!!!!!

Apparently the GOP has lost their way. McCain!!!! Are you kidding me!!! Huck-a-libby… give me a break. All these guys do is insult those who oppose their views. Huckabee says Romney drew first blood, but it was Huckabee that let Dumond go free!!! The populus of the US must be "dumber than broccolli."

Get ready and brace for 4 more years of Ashcroft and Bush. Funny, Bill Clintion was more a fiscal conservative than any of these. I know it is heresy to say this, but maybe Hilary won't be so bad. : (

Romney needs to either rally or I don't know what….

Keeping my hopes up for Romney!

"Henry Miller, Cary, NC" - I think I'll stay home on election day. ?????

So that is the reason why people like you should have no voice and should not speak, because morons like you just sit it out and are the first to piss and moan about its out come that you had a chance to possibly change, … Vote or just shut up….

The radical right rails against McCain, yet, if they are successful in driving him to the right, they do so at their own peril in the general election. Generally speaking, those on the left will vote for the Democrat and those on the right will vote for Republicans. It is the independents or moderates who will decide the outcome. Therefore, the candidate who most closely reflects their attitudes will probably win.
Right now, McCain is much closer to that model than Romney or Huckabee.

Waiting for a decent and civilized election with McCain and Hillary as the nominees.Focused on issues and what is best for our country.

To be honest, I hope it comes dow to McCain or Obama. As hard as it is for me to say that, since I am registered republican, I think it's what most Americans feel right now. I feel as though both would be willing to compromise in order to make both parties happy. Both have a track record of that and the polls show that moderates are flocking to both. Alot of other republican friends and family feel the same way, we all need someone to cross the divide.

McCain mistakenly referred to Lieberman as his favorite Democrat. Lieberman is no Democrat.

Unite!!!??? Where was John McCain uniting the Republican party with MCCain/Feingold! What a load of…

If Romney and McCain were my only choices, I would write in a name for a person I believed in. I would rather vote for a third party than vote for those two during the primary season. They don't share the same convictions - what will they do to help the middle income to lower income person at least with Huckabee I might stand a chance to build income!

I just boils my blood when I hear others say that they will just stay home. I believe it was Jefferson who said that a democracy ensures that the people get the government they deserve.

Staying home just because you don't fully embrace either of the choices is moronic… Stick your head in the sand, and you will wake up in a fully socialist state, and we see how well that worked out for much of the world.

Not making a decision IS MAKING A DECISION!

Huck will hang around until McCain doesn't need him to split the conservative vote any more. None of us really trust McCain, but he knows that we'll scream about boycotting the election until the reality sinks in that we'd rather have the guy that gets some of our issues right than Clinton or Obama who will get none of them, ever. Too bad, we executed the primary strategy that the Democrats usually do. Thanks for being a totally DUD as a candidate, Fred - you drew time, attention, and money away from Romney when he could have been developing some traction; the time when everyone thought McCain's campaign was sunk, and would have been if Romney had gotten a little more MO (and I'm not really a Romney fan, either. . . .).

McCain - I don't think so, I'll be joining Henry and sitting home on election day, too!

Yes, Mark. Huckabee's only goal in the campaign was to stop Romney. Now that the damage was done yesterday, the spoiler can quit and await his VP nomination.

We're doomed…we shot ourselves in the foot.

Get your barf bags ready.

To all who wish to stay home IF MCcain is the party nominee.. Please feel free to do so.. The feeling of knowing Romney's money couldn't but the election priceless..

Are people seriously thinking of electing someone in his 70's. He'll be almost 80 yrs old by the end of his second term should he be elected as a president. Being president is the most stressful job in the world and I don't think someone as old as McCain can handle it.

McCain has too much arrogance thinking he can capture the conservative vote by default. McCain is about McCain and nothing else. I didnt vote for him and I stayed by my conviction even though Romney lost. If McCain gets the nod for the Republicans, he still has to earn my vote along with millions of conservatives. He needs to prove to me he is going to stop illegal immigration, and get the government the heck out of our wallets and out of our social fabric. I want a constitutionalist in there not someone who has a love affair with the democrats.

I dont care who he runs against, I'm tired of voting for the "worst of two evils". Maybe it will take a presidency for 4 years of a socialist to wake up the GOP and get back to our conservative roots.

ONe thing that should worry McCain He won in states that vote democratic in the General Election the real conservative base in the South voted for Huckabee. Sounds like the Real conservatives did not feel McCain was a real conservative. But the love hate relationship of Hillary and Obama should cause a large group of democrats to vote for McCain him being a liberal republican anyway.

The arrogance to say he will wrap it up when he hasnt shown to be the pick as of yet. Mccain needs to for once give himself some straight talk and admit he is not a conservative candidate. Dr. James Dobson has said he will not vote at all if Mccain is nominated, based on Mccains liberal background. Huckabee is the one and only true choice for the conservative vote. It showed yesturday with his wins and very close races against Mccain which no one wants to admit, esspecially Mccain, who thinks we are ignorant enough to follow his latest statement; to wrap things up and for the record the Clinton's would shred him in a debate or partner up with him which has been his role in the past…

He must be joking about uniting Republican Party. I would rather vote for Hillary
or Obama than a fool like McCain.

To call McCain tax-and-spend or a liberal is just ignorant. Try basing your statements on fact instead of your Limbaugh brainwashing.

Mark where did you hear that. That's encouraging.

Is it me, or does anyone else notice that McCain looks like Simon Bar Sinister from the old Underdog cartoon.

I love how everyone thinks McCain is a liberal. Anyone actually ever examine Romney's record…he's had some pretty liberal moments himself. And, what is wrong with having some liberal views? Contrary to popular belief, it's actually quite healthy to be able to see the other perspective, rather than simply submitting to your parties prescribed beliefs. We saw how well a "true conservative" worked for us with G.W….sure got a lot accomplished for the republican party. We need someone that is going to be able to unite a bitterly divided Washington. In my view, that someone is John McCain.

I am proud supporter of McCain. I am a fiscal conservative and social moderate.

We , as Republicans, have not bought into the extremist talk show foder.
Have rejected those that have gathered on and sawed off the most extreme 5% of the Conservative viewpoint and is now screaming at the top of their lungs the remaining 95% of the spectrum. From raging liberal democrat to moderate/right leaning Republicans, as equally misguided.

I do wish to get something done in Govt and am tired of polarizing extremes on both side prohibiting that. Call me whatever you like but McCain, as I see him, is an honest Hero that believes in curbing spending and cutting taxes responsibly.
Believes in a strong military , and takes moderate positions on Stem Cell and other social issues.

To allow people to say this is a man that is the same as Hillary or Obama is as rediculous as it is self defeating for a party I am proud is becoming more able to get things done (A trait, by the way, that is not equal to selling out)

John McCain works well with the opposition - going all the way back to Hanoi.

Sorry McCain. You are going to be the Republican nominee, but you will never get my vote.

Romney 2012!

Against Billary your smartest choice for VP would be Condoleezza Rice. She'd be a great weapon against the new I-just-vote-for-a-woman-no-matter-what block.

Mike Huckabee would probably defeat Clinton or Obama in a debate. I don't think McCain or Mitt would fair as well.

John McCain works well with the opposition - going all the way back to Hanoi.

Romney and McCain are definitely spoilers for Mike Huckabee demonstrated by their expense per vote received.

My last estimate:
Romney- $84,644,955 = 4,095,564 Votes @ $21.40 ea.
McCain - $39,145,649 = 4,820,598 Votes @ $ 8.12 ea.
Huckabee – 7,107,364 = 2,399,495 Votes @ $ 2.96 ea.

R33

McCain = 100 years in Iraq = War is a solution = More soldiers = Comeback of the Draft.

All McCain talks about is the war, all he takes credit for is the war planning he helped do. He is foul-tempered + trigger-happy. Really bad equation for the White House.

The main question what everyone who are basically republican is what is demorcracy …. If you have a criteria in which you select a canidate to run for your party and the party after so late in the process of selecting your Canidate have so much " turmoil" and dislike of a canidate who in some ways is to left wing fo his partys good , then why have a criteria which is worth promoting such contraversy and uncertainty which supposedly is the main dish of promoting demorcracy

Sean Trinidad

You don't have my support McCain, nor any of my aquaintences!

please. Mr. "Straight Talk" telling them what they want to hear. I can't see this idiot uniting this fractured party.

How can he unite Republicans, when he is not a Republican…NO AMNESTY.

Mc Cain will fall on his fat head once we remember The Keating Five.

Google it. He learned to work with the Democrats early.

Anyone heard the rumor that Kennedy will be Obama's VP? The candidates should have to say who they are considering as it would make a huge difference for the voters.

Did anybody watch the debates? McCain is the “frontrunner”? It looks like we are set to have another arrogant, war-mongering socialist disguised as a Republican running for President as our Party’s nominee. If McCain is nominated, I will be obligated to vote for the Democratic candidate. Being fleeced of my hard-earned money and subjected to more rules and regulations is better than having a hot-tempered president who is capable of starting World War III. America – what are you thinking? Is anyone out there thinking?

everyone please save all your breath, Mccain will win, because he have a good heart. if you want to vote, make sure you vote for Mccain and be happy with it. Thanks

Of course McCain says he's not worried about getting the conservative vote, he doesn't want to admit that he isn't the choice for conservatives.
McCain says that he is the choice for Republicans just because he has won more primaries, but Romney would be a lot closer if McCain wasn't getting help from Huckabee.

I am a republican but if it's McCain we are in for one hell of a rollercoaster. The economy will plummet and we would be left with a quick to anger, small man syndrome dictator personality as our leader. Wake up people! What others dictators in history have serious temper problems when people disagree with them.

Who cares what Bomb Bomb John does? He can never never win a general election against Obama for sure, and perhaps not even against Hillary. I cant imagine running on a platform of another 100 years in Iraq if needed. The American people will be voting for change this year, and with McCain's 27 yrs. in office, he is part of the problem not the solution. The change people are talking about is not changing McCain's depends or diapers, it means the direction for the country. WHy would America vote for another extension of the BUSH era? I think not….Bomb Bomb needs to point the "Straight Talk Express" towards the nearest retirement home in Arizona.

IF McCain / Hillary / Obama are nominated ….

It is indeed a sad day that we must inform the people of the world of the death of a beloved grand old matriarch. We hesitate to tell only because many of her immediate family have not been informed of her untimely demise. Several attempts have been made to inform them but to no avail.

She was conceived with love and honor and with the sanction of God above. She was reported to have always represented all that was good and was said to be a beautiful, feisty, independent soul with a constitution as solid as a rock. Many testified she was a God fearing soul who taught the people she loved how to appreciate their God given rights.

It seems an unidentified illness crept into her life and slowly sapped away her vitality and much cherished freedom. She eventually found herself confined in her last moments and she slipped away while family watched in disbelief.

Imagine their dismay when the illness was diagnosed as a well known disease, the effects of which could easily have been reversed if the symtoms had been recognized by attentive healers.

America - She will continue to live on in the minds and hearts of the people who cherished and cared for her.

John mcain will never get my vote. He tried to get amnesty for illegals and I can not and will not support that.

McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain voting NO to Bush tax cuts, McCain entertaining leaving the GOP in 2001…..

Bill Clinton was right about one thing this campaign season…. Hillary and McCain are very close.

This conservative will vote for Obama… or a 3rd party.

This isn't going to happen. McCain makes me sick and the thought of voting for him is repulsive. He calls us Racist for not supporting amnesty and has complete disdain for the conservative wing of the party. Well I have news for you all… Not all conservatives are religious wackos. I support Mitt Romney and I am disgusted with the politicking to get Romney out of the way at any cost. You can't tell me that Huckabee hasn't gotten his hands dirty in the deal either. The complete apathy of the Republican base is shocking. If it comes down to it, I will be doing a write-in.

If McCain or Huckabee are the nominees, myself and many of my once Republican friends have said that we are switching to independent and will vote dem just to spite a corrupt Republican system. This country will be split.

Instead of staying home, write in the name of the person you feel is most qualified to be president. There is no need to let the parties choose who you can vote for.

McCain is a corrupt liar and this conservative will NEVER vote for him!!!

By the way do not stay home, that is what "they" want us conseratives to do.

Why wont the other gop canidates just save their money in worthless campainging and help fund Mc Cain so he can give them a shot of becoming the Vice President …

How can someone who believes in no tax cuts, open borders, stepping out on his wife, calling religious people intolerant be a conservative? I think someone who believes in free choice and being personally responsible for the consequences of those choices is a conservative. They believe in morality and ethics, they are willing to help the poor and the needy themselves not rely on the government to do it. They believe the government’s job is security from enemies abroad, and law enforcement at home. They may believe that the government should help in national emergencies and natural disasters, if there is not a private organization in place to help (that is the best way). Education is done on a local level and controlled locally. Those are some of the things I think a conservative is. I do not think that McCain’s past demonstrates that he is a conservative, if he is honest and runs as a moderate, tells why he believes that is position is correct, (if he is honest about his past) I may consider voting for him. If he keeps claming he is a conservative, I will vote for the democratic nomine (hopefully Obama) unless a third party is started. Yes I will support tearing the republican party apart if it leaves us conservative behind in there drive for power.

McCain can't unite his own shoelaces. He will fail to unite the party.

No chance.

He can never unite the party. I am Republican that will never vote for McCain. He does not understand economics and wants us to be in Iraq for a 100 years his Foreign Policy is as bad as Bush. The poor guy does not understand what is wrong with the occupation of foreign Countries for 50 to a 100 years.

The man does not understand that we went to War for no reason(read the book curveball) and on his watch and George they never got the #1 enemy of the U.S. Osma?

I repsect that he served his Country, but he a Hillary not much there.

I have switched to Independent and voting for Senator Obama, enough of the old school.

I will NEVER vote for you, John McCain. You can live to be as old as your mother (95) and you will not ever be president. You have spit in the eyes of conservatives for 8 years so don't dare insult our intelligence by pretending to be one of us. You have insulted Romney and his supporters over-and-over again. You have orchestrated a hatchet job with your little lapdog (and conservative sellout) Mike Huckabee.

Am I angry? Yes. Are alot of conservatives? Yes. You have brought this on yourself through your past actions. I will pop a bottle of champagne when you go down in November because it is better for our party to come back in 2012 with a conservative then to let you pretend to be one of us in the White House.

IF McCain / Hillary / Obama are nominated ….

What many Washington politicos fear regarding McCain is the fact he's his own man. They also fear his dis-like of pork.
