Is McCain Toast Against Obama?

MacUser · Postby **MacUser** » February 13th, 2008, 7:33 am

I have to say that an old angry coot.. like McCain vs a young rock star like Obama is going to be a very interesting race to say the least. Back Stabbing Experience vs Unknown Change

I feel that all these independents that voted McCain during the primaries are going to flock toward Obama's charismatic "Change" message during the final election.

Then the conservatives are going to be blamed for not firing up the base and losing the election. When he stabbed them in the back.

So many critical issues.. such as Supreme Justices nominations, Terrorism, Taxes to definition of marriage is between a man/women etc. I can't stay home.. but I feel like I'm going to be on the losing ticket.

Obama is going to beat McCain like a rented mule. I'm seriously considering voting for one of the fringe third party candidates for president, just to a send a message to the GOP that the rank and file won't support a liberal like McCain. I think it's important that conservative don't skip the election though. We should go and vote for the conservative candidate in House, Senate, and state and local elections.

Voting for the winning ticket should not be the major factor in your vote. The elections are the opportunity for you to voice your opinions, even if they are not in the majority. I don't believe that there is such a thing as a wasted vote (unless it's some air head who voted for a candidate because they had a nice smile). When I cast my vote I may be standing alone, but I have voiced my opinion. And that's all I can ask of our system.

That would be exciting, because Gore is very beatable. :-)

It's going to be where these super delegates land. Ohio in Texas is going to be the last stand for Hillary.

Obama is already leading nationally over a McCain matchup.. right now 5 to 6% in the polls.

Dr. Ron. It would thrill me for you to be correct. But I doubt at the convention they would award Gore the nomination over Obama whose won every primary since Super Tuesday even if he doesn't have enough delegates. It would be a revolt. But I'm a watcher only...

The only way that would happen would be in a brokered convention, which looks very unlikely if the recent trend of Obama wins continues.

Count on the brokered convention.....that is why the "super delegates" are holding out.

Gore is getting a ground swell of support right now from what I see on the net....but then that is media too.

I think Obama will be the running mate......makes Gore more electable.

There aren't enough SuperDelegates to give it to Gore. The only possible way for a brokered convention is if Hillary wins Texas and Ohio in 2 weeks. That's looking less and less likely as the weeks go on. If she loses those 2, she'll most likely have to get out.

If you want the things conservatives want you will bite your tongue and vote for McCain. He is our only hope. A few years ago we would have had more choices, but with Washington as it is and Congress as it is. I feel he is our only hope. And remember 1 vote for McCain counts as 2. You have also taken one away from the democrats.

Please search your hearts and go for McCain.

Dad, I really like OBAMA!

You guys need to look at all the issues......taxes and foreign policy!

McCain has said he will try to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. Obama has promised he will raise the taxes immediately ....so has Hilary. Obama and Hilary want it back to Clinton High taxes.

McCain said he voted against it the first time as an act of rebellion. He was basically upset with Bush that he was overlooked for a cabinet post.

He certanly knows more about military and foreign policy than the dems.
And trust me the military WILL help him get elected.....and then adding Huckaby as VP ....or FRED, he will capture the main voting bloc....the christain conservative.

Don't worry boys.............Gore is on the way!!!! I am telling you!
