| McCain got 1% in West Virginia.. |
|
1 fucking percent. :wow: That is pathetic for the "front-runner".
Didn't pick up ONE southern state. He BARELY got a majority in his own state.
The MSM is putting a happy shiney face all over this today, but the repubs are in SERIOUS trouble. We're talking a potential loss of landslide proportions.

The only landslide in a McInsane vs. Hillary scenario is the one that will land on us. She will not win in November. I am fully disgusted that she has won anything. Her negative factor is higher than anyone's in the whole political spectrum, and, tragically, that will cost us dearly.

| 3. Humorously, someone posted a Freeper thread here overnight... |
|
... in which the freeps are melting-down over their McCain prospects. It may still be a close race.

| 9. I'm in agreement with you completely |

Nothing against Hillary - she's a smart, strong woman and a capable candidate in a Democratic primary. I'm not seeing that translate into anything in the general election. If there's one thing that Republican's dislike more than a McCain, it's a Clinton. Independents will be very tough to gauge in that matchup and we can be pretty much assured that the Republicans will unite behind him to "stick it to the Clintons".
While I'll vote for her if she's the nominee, I'm not confident that she can win just to the sheer forces aligned against her.

| 4. Winner take all caucus. Below 50, you get nothing, so they united with Huckabee. |

| 6. Yeah. It was a close race in the first round of caucusing, and then he threw his support |
|
to Huckabee in the second round (since you have to get 50%+ to win), in order to prevent Romney from winning. It's winner-take-all, so that's the smarter strategy.

| 8. McCain arranged it for his supporters to go to Huckabee to put Romeny out of joint. |
