A bad scenario for Democrats. When McCain wins tonight he'll be calling himself "the comeback kid".
Sound familiar??? And the media will buy it hook, line and sinker. The Repukes have really surprised me. They're actually vetting their candidates, and their first winners are their only two candidates who've got a shot; McCain and Huckabee. So now the Repukes are going to decide between the two, as to which one can win in the general. And they'll cast aside their lousy, unelectable, polarizing and crap candidates like Ghouliani, Mutt Romney and Fraud Thompson.

By contrast, we've allowed the media to select our candidate. I can't believe this is happening.

1. MSM loved 911iani too, how did that go? McCain will be like Dole '96.
Give it time.

2. Hickabee will still come out guns blazing in the south
McCain as a long ways to go but Romney's fate will be sealed.

3. In this case,
the "comeback kid" will be the reincarnation of Bob Dole.

4. McCain would be the worst for the economy
as far as the free trade thing IMO, with Romney not far behind: http://www.issues2000.org/John_McCain.htm#Free_Trade

8. I anticipated this nightmare
their field is so appalingly bad I knew MCcain would emerge as their default nominee. And that is scary because he appeals across a very broad range.

9. By November, he'll be the "Go Away grumpy old guy".
Seriously, McCain vs. Obama? Not a contest.
