Did the GOP pick the right Candidate? Is McGigalo FIT??? Can he win?

[opihimoimoi]

Who can he pick for VEEP...to increase his miserable odds?

All in all...I think the GOP muffed it....

Shoulda went with Hucky

1. I don't think things work that way in the Pub Party. THEY

promise people things. I really believe that's what happened back in 2000. The party bosses told John that it was Shrub's turn this time, but it would be HIS turn next time. Wether that was a smart move is a whold different question.

5. I can go with that....another poster said the Masters knew they gonna lose so he would

be like the "throwaway" pub candidate...under the bus in a perverse way

[Renew Deal]

2. I think if you redid the primary knowing what we know, they would choose someone else.

Maybe Romney. Maybe Huckster. But McCain is a dud.

6. See what happens when a Party sez Ya gatta be a CHRISTAN to run and win...

So it happens one of your choices in the prelims is a MORMAN...waddaya do??? and so they dumped him to go for a weak POW too much gaffes and blunder history guy = McCain....who turns out to be more of a dud than first thought...

[NorthCarolina]

3. I think McCain was chosen precisely because the GOP knew they had about a zero chance

of securing the White House in 08. Better to let the old guy have his 15 minutes of fame to cap off a long career as opposed to waste someone with potentially a political future ahead of them, like a Romney for instance, in a no-win election cycle.

8. Yup, ...this was mentioned months ago...let the old dude run across the busy 12 lane highway blind

folded.....

under the bus time....

[BeyondGeography]

4. He was their best option

which is in no small part a comment on their weak field. Huckabee wouldn't have been as strong in the industrial states and Florida; McCain will win all the states Huckabee would have carried plus a few more.

[LaPera]

7. No, he can't win...but the Rove and the republicans electronic voting machines can steal it for him!

If McCain & the republicans can keep it close it can & will be stolen....why not they can do it and have in the past.....what's to stop them this time?

10. The Fear of this sends shivers throughout the Dem side of things...

The watchdogs are getting better training and making it harder....

Fed Laws violated will send peeps to jail...go ask ALLEN RAYMOND....a Pub Phone Jammer....convicted and spent time in FED PRISON.

Lets hope this is a deterrant...

He wrote the book: "HOW TO RIG AN ELECTION"

He should have wrote the book: "HOW TO STAY OUTTA JAIL"

9. I think they are throwing him under the bus.

They want a Democrat in the WH to clean up the mess and take all the blame for the damage they have done. When there is enough money in the Treasury to loot again, they will be back. This is the reason Nancy should start impeaching all of them so that they can't come back. I'm not holding my breathe though waiting for her to do it.

[opihimoimoi]

11. Yup, The vote count by State doesn't appear encouraging for McGigalo

The Odds look like Crap for him....

The best the GOP can do is limit the losses and make another run in 2012 or 2016...outta reach for many of their front runners...maybe Macaca Allen?
