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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

I thought the bigger story would be that he was in the race in the first place. :)

thats possible now that edwards has dropped out. but dont count on it. he clearly aligned himself with the obama camp, attacking her, along with sen obama, as being part of the problem in washington. hed make a hell of an attorney general though. in all fairness, because of his record as a prosecutor, rudy might deserve some consideration (for atty gen) as well. he was a bulldog and went after the mafia big time.

Nope, the recount was rigged, but the SCOTUS gave them the result they wanted.

McCain has shown that the Republican nomination has become a one man show, and doubtful his opponents have any chance. However, I am pulling for Hillary to win the democratic nomination as well as Presidency. Though would it not be oh so interesting, to have Clinton as President and McCain as VP lol. There is always room for firsts, and McCain is closer to being a Democrat then any other candidate. Why not have a Democrat and Republican running the show?? Would certainly show the country that both parties are at least working together to improve our status as the one almighty country, and make much needed improvements through out America and the system. Just an idea.

One man show? If he does get the nod, just wait for the press to "find" all of the secrets and skeletons in his closet. McCain isn't a very nice guy. I suspect you will see tons of stories tearing him apart. Of course not until he wins the GOP nomination.
Clinton and McCain? Not likely, Hill hates him. Who I think would be interesting would be McCain Lieberman.

That's $45 Billion!
So, after ten years, it still wouldn't be as much spent on the Iraq boondoggle quagmire, and we'd at least be more than half way to legal, productive citizens.
