With McCain's win, Hillary Rodham Clinton moves one step closer to becoming President.

The only hope McCain has is that Hillary is more likely to unite the Republican Party than anyone else the Democrats have. If Obama wins the nomination, McCain is toast. Obama may be no different than Hillary ideologically, but he's far more electable.

If McCain wins the nomination, it may actually benefit Republicans farther down the ticket as money and energy that would otherwise have gone to the GOP nominee for President will instead go to conservative candidates for the House, Senate, Governors and state legislatures.

[federalisthoosier]

If McCain wins the nomination, the Dems win. McCain is a stealth Democrat, the very dictionary picture of a Rino. The Democrats are on the brink of victory.

After 11-4-2008, I fear we will be citizens of a lesser nation. When what makes America different visa via other nations becomes no difference, we will have become a "has been" nation. I am so upset that I am fighting the back the tears.

I can't believe how stupid the sheeple in Florida are.

BREAKDOWN (http://www.news4jax.com/politics/15133113/detail.html)

[maxparrish]

I am also ill...it looks very dire...especially if Guilianni the pinhead endorses McCain.

It's really amazing, two guys trying to be "conservative" and avoid the liberal label, and NO LONG TIME conservative is even in the race any longer.

Of COURSE GUILIANNI WILL ENDORSE MCCAIN...THEY BOTH WANT TO REMOVE THE BORDER WITH MEXICO. ONLY MITT HAS ADOPTED A 100% CONSERVATIVE STANCE.

AND POLLS SAID MCCAIN DREW MORE VOTES FROM SENILE OLD PEOPLE AND PEOPLE CONCERNED WITH THE ECONOMY. YA THAT'S RIGHT...THE OLD PEOPLE THAT WILL SEE THEIR CAPTIAL GAINS TAX BREAK EXPIRE UNDER MCCAIN...AND MCCAIN, WHO CONFESSES HE DOES NOT KNOW SHIT ABOUT THE ECONOMY GETS MORE VOTES COMPARED TO A WALL STREET EXPERT.

I AM SO DISGUSTED WITH THIS STINKING PARTY. EVERY ONE OF THEM WILL BE CRYING AND SCREAMING WHEN THE BORDER FENCES ARE TORN DOWN AND 23 MILLION GRANTED AMNESTY AND FULL WELFARE RIGHTS. EVERY ONE OF THESE OLD FARTS WILL WHINE WHEN 'BUDGET BALANCING' INCLUDES BIG INCREASES IN SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES. THEY WILL ALL BE BELLY ACHING WHEN CAPITAL GAINS JUMPS ANOTHER 5 OR 10 PERCENT.

IT AIN'T OVER..MAYBE ROMNEY CAN WIN IN A TWO WAY RACE (I WISH HUCKABEE WOULD DROP OUT TOO). WHAT'S THE POINT? WE ELECT THE SNAKE, THE MAN WHO HAS HARMED THIS PARTY MORE THAN ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING SINCE NIXON IS GOING TO BE OUR NOMINEE. I JUST WANT TO FLY TO FLORIDA AND SCRRRREEEEAMMMMM AT EVERY OLD FART MCCAIN VOTER....

DAMN, MY OWN INCOME GROWTH THAT FEEDS AND HOUSES ME WILL BE DINGED TO PAY FOR OTHER SCUM FROM MEXICO, FOR STUPID GLOBAL WARMING TAXES....

I HOPE THE MOTHER F' HAS A STROKE, A NICE BIG ONE. AND I MEAN IT.

McCain's well ahead in delegate-rich CA, too, although CA isn't a winner-take-all state. Maybe Romney can cadge enough delegates here and in NY to pull together a win, but it looks bleaker by the day.

I long for the heady days when Rudy was the front-runner.

Damn you, Fred! Just damn you!!

[Lazarus]

Its a sickening turn of events but the race is far from over - Despite the declarations of the media... We have had primaries in how many states - six? There 50 states in the union and each one has to speak...

Romney has the cash to go the distance and McCain may not fair as well outside of the mindless retirement communities...

What McCain and his insider, establishment RINO gang is betting on is for the Conservatives to give up and accept him as the king with no fight... Now is not the time to quit... The fight is on, and there is still plenty of space to pull this one off...

Stay frosty people... Now is not the time to run to the caves - Now is the time to stand tough...

[maxparrish]

It is true, it is NOT over. Most of the deligates are yet to be chosen and there are enough fractured votes to still call it into question.

I'm just so disgusted. Huckabee was a godsend, and he has split the 'anyone but McCain' vote. Evangelicals just didn't get it...and Huckabee is enjoying being the spoiler. He is hoping to get a VP slot out of it (as is Rudi).

There are NOW only two choices. McCain or Romney. And I doubt McCain can win...whatever 'independent' vote he attracks is going to be offset by millions of conservatives that just can't vote for this miscreant, including me.

Will McCain capture Ohio, as did George Bush? Well, it took evangelicals to swing it for George, will they turn out in such massive numbers for McCain?

Who knows. Well, I know I will be voting third party...probably the Constitutionalist party. HELL I wish Pat Buchanon were running, I'd even vote for him.

But it is not over, Romney needs to closely trail McCain. He might be able to take a state or two in the North East...

Well, under McCain in eight years there will be:

-Amnesty for 23 illegal aliens, and granting of full welfare rights as well as residency for higher education.

-A New Medical System that will Insure Illegals.

-12 Million for NEW illegals, from a border that is left open, and a visa system that is broken.

-New Taxs on All American producers of CO2 (perhaps down to the individual level). Electricity rates will rise at 2 to 3 times the rate of inflation.

-Cancellation of the Bush tax cuts.

-GITMO will be closed down. Most prisoners will be transfered to the U.S.. Within four years all will be released because the standards of American criminal law will be applied to the battlefield. CIA prisons will be side-lined.

- The new supreme court justice(s) will be at best a Sandra Day O'Connor and at worst a David Souter. Nothing will change on major issues.

- Drug companies will be regulated, and forced to sell to the American consumer at the same price as third world countries. Most drugs won't be sold to low price markets like Africa, and research on new drugs will be slashed, and leadership passed to Europe.

- Universal Health Care will look very much like Hillary-care. Massive new mandatory insurance costs will impact the industry as they are forced to insure young workers and service workers, who often forgo insurance. Medical costs will rise even faster, and real take home wages will drop as small business struggles to pay for it.

- The solution for Social Security will be massive new taxes for employers so as to "hide" wage costs.

- No new energy will be produced in the US. ANWR and coastal regions will remain locked down, as will low sulfur coal in the Southwest. Energy taxes will be directed to electric Yugo's, and paying for burning food into energy. Food prices will continue to rise at twice the inflation rate, as it now. Medical costs and Food Costs will be the big issue in 8 years.

- New campaign finance reforms will include further restrictions on free speech, McCain approved judges wil endorse them.

- McCain will go after talk radio, and he will instruct the FCC to bring back the fairness doctrine. Talk radio will be cut back or largely shut down.

THAT is why I want Hillary or Obama...we can stop some of this fascism with a united party...not with a sitting Republican President.

[Plain Old Dave]

Don't rule Gov. Huckabee out. We're leading in most of the Southern states; Super Tuesday could easily make this a Huckabee v. McCain race, and that's a no-brainer (or at least should be).

[MarlinsFan]

As much as I don't like McCain, I hope Huck doesn't somehow get the nomination, if he does I will end up voting Libertarian .

[MrSanity]

Looks like it's either Romney or McCain for the nomination.

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THAT is why I want Hillary or Obama...we can stop some of this fascism with a united party...not with a sitting Republican President.All that deserves repeating...

Especially THIS part...THAT is why I want Hillary or Obama...we can stop some of this fascism with a united party...not with a sitting Republican President.I had never considered this possibility until Rush Limbaugh pointed it out...

With a Democrat causing the mayhem we have a chance for Conservatism to make a grand and glorious comeback... With McCain in the driver's seat, the Republicans are effectively emasculated - It will be the same show we saw under Bush's attempt at Amnesty - Weak Pubs and RINOs negating all attempts by the Conservatives to hold the line - only with McCain it will be multiplied 10-fold and straight across ALL issues...

With a Democrat presidency, we retain some semblance of a two-party system... With a McCain presidency, there will only be one party - The Socialist party...

[PaulRevere]

We already have buyer's remorse in electing the current phony Republican president, and he's had the abyssmal approval ratings for years to prove it.

Yet, here we are rushing headlong to elect an unabashed phony Republican. Today our blinders are off, yet we are willingly commiting the same mistake.
