Gotta' say I'm really enjoying the great wailing and gnashing of teeth amongst the wingnuts over what looks like a McCain nomination. Sadly, No! links to some of the most vicious of the backlash which mostly boils down to McCain as Manchurian Candidate or limp dick. Stay classy, wingnuts!

As some of the commenters said, "Yes, yes, give in to your hate!" I hope they tear each others' throats out and that the wingnuttiest of the crew will refuse to vote, preferring to stay home pouting and watching Fred Thompson re-runs.

Also loved what commenter just me pointed out:

McCain was the first grand implosion of the season. That is just long enough ago where people seem to forget it. We’ll see how well his “message” holds up when he’s put front and center again. I don’t think it’s going to fly very well. I’m not ruling out the Mittster quite yet, but Tuesday will tell.

Not to mention that while he might be able to dance between “Maverick” and “Glass Parking Lot” for the primary faithful, that pony’s going to run about two steps in a general. Every time he brings up one, he’s going to get smacked with the other. I’ve seen some polls that show him close with the Dem, but I really don’t believe it.


Poor McCain, he spent so much time on his knees catering to the far right bigots and religious nut-bags that he's going to have to eat an awful lot of crow. My heart positively bleeds for him.

I loathe all of the other Republican candidates; they disgust and sicken me. But McCain TERRIFIES me. If he wins the Presidency, within six months we will be dropping nukes on Iran.

My big question is: Which Republican candidate would be easiest to beat in November? I'm afraid that McCain is liberal enough that he might pick up some votes from borderline Democrats who have militaristic tendencies.

I was kind of hoping for Giuliani to last a bit longer and then implode in the real race. I mean it was inevitable that he would and I'd have preferred to see it happen later rather than earlier.
