Whether the RNC is trying to destroy the GOP or not, it’s clear that they
couldn’t do a better job of destroying it, no matter how hard they try. Making
John McCain the RNC nominee is the most certain way to lose the 2008 election.
But even if McCain could actually win in November, almost a numerical
impossibility by the way, many conservatives have already predicted that even a
McCain victory would be the end of the GOP as we know it. What’s the RNC
thinking?
Can McCain Win?
While MSM polling data aims to make McCain look like the best the RNC can do,
the real numbers say something quite different.
As of this writing, the RNC has completed 30 state primaries. Our "leader"
John McCain, has lost 19 of the 30. A little over 16.5 million votes have been
cast in Republican primaries so far, only 4.9 million of those for McCain,
30.9%. - with 69.1% of all Republican voters having voted against McCain.
Obama carried his home state of Illinois with 65% of the vote. Clinton
carried her adopted home state of New York with 57% of the vote. McCain won his
home state too, but with only 47% of the vote, less than half of his
constituents. The only states McCain broke above 50% in are liberal stronghold
states, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York and in all three cases, both
Clinton and Obama defeat him in these states by more than a 2 to 1 margin…
28 states have completed both RNC and DNC primaries thus far. By popular
vote, Obama won 14, Clinton 10 and McCain only 4. McCain lost the RNC primary in
3 of those 4 states, averaging only 14% support from Republican primary voters
in each. He is at best secure in only 2 of the 4 states, Alaska and Iowa. In the
general election, he can indeed lose both Arizona and Nevada.
This is the "winner" RNC heads think they can defeat Democrats with in the
fall? How???
The National Popular Vote
All Republicans combined have garnered 16.5 million primary votes in 30
primaries. Democrats Clinton and Obama alone have garnered 17.6 million primary
votes in only 28 primaries, 1.1 million more than all Republicans combined. If
McCain could unite 100% of Republican voters behind his campaign, and Clinton –
Obama only keep their 78% of the Democrat votes, McCain still loses by over 1
million votes… and he can’t unite 100% of Republican voters, no way – no
how!
Of more than 22.5 million primary votes cast and counted to date, Clinton has
40% of those votes while Obama has 38% and McCain has but 22%. McCain is not
even in striking distance of either Clinton or Obama. Who can McCain invite to
share his ticket that will unite GOP voters and deliver the kind of excitement
currently found across the political aisle? Only Jesus Christ has such powers… I
can think of no other.
If this is the RNC’s idea of choosing a winning candidate, I’d like to see
their idea of a losing candidate? Even Bob Dole was a better bet in
1996.
Where can McCain win?
At the moment, it appears that McCain can’t win anywhere but Alaska and Iowa,
both of which he lost miserably in the RNC primary, but both of which are SO
Republican that even a Republican loser can defeat a Democrat there. He’s not
close to winning anywhere else at the moment and unless he finds a way to unite
and ignite GOP voters, that’s not likely to change.
How do you elect any candidate with 22% of the popular vote and 30.9% support
in his own party? The math simply won’t work.
Clinton – Obama to unite for Proletariat Party Unity
For almost two years now, I have been warning of this eventuality and until
Super Tuesday, everyone said I was nuts. Now most political strategists are
saying the same thing and here’s why.
Clinton and Obama are in a dead heat right now. Clinton and Obama share 78%
of the DNC primary voters, leaving only 22% on the table, most of whom will
happily unite behind either candidate by convention time. Clinton currently has
40% of those voters while Obama has 38%.
The two "I’m more socialist than you" candidates are also in a dead heat in
the delegate race, Clinton with 1148 and Obama with 1121, both of them flying to
North Carolina to negotiate with John Edwards for his 26 delegates. We’re
talking a photo finish here for these two.
Obama has won 14 states to Hillary’s 10, but Hillary’s are bigger. If Obama
is going to sneak ahead of Clinton to become the DNC nominee, he’s got to do it
soon or it will become a numerical impossibility.
A few facts make an Obama nomination plausible, even if unlikely.
He has no resume, so no BIG negatives like Hillary
He has charisma and momentum – she’s a negative nagging bitch
He has the youth vote for change – she’s crusty old bad news
He’s raising money and she’s out of money
Still, due to a massive well trained Clinton war machine, Hillary remains out
front and the woman to beat in this race. Assuming she hangs on until the photo
finish and the numbers simply won’t work for Obama to become the clear
front-runner, both have a problem that can only be solved by uniting on a single
ticket in the general election.
Remember that liberals are nothing if not symbolism over substance. Neither
of these two candidates is in any way qualified to become Commander-in-Chief.
But that has not had any impact on their voters thus far and it won’t.
That’s because liberals smell an opportunity to make history by putting the
first female and first black in the White House in one shot. If you’re a
liberal, no matter what this means for the demise of your country, this is a
symbolic opportunity you just can’t pass up…
And, if you’re Hillary looking for a sure win in November, you don’t take any
chances. You unite 78+% the party in one move by bringing Obama onto your side
in the general. Liberals get exactly what they want, two socialists for the
price of one and a whole chapter in history that can be written no other way.
Republicans are facing the perfect political storm…
If you’re Obama and the numbers just aren’t there, you take a 2nd
place finish and run as an incumbent Vice President in four or eight years. He’s
young. The ink on his driver’s license isn’t even dry yet… The first black Vice
President is HUGE! It makes for great symbolism, even if disastrous for our
national future at the same time.
How can McCain compete with that?
Two words – he can’t! If you think he can, check these
numbers…
McCain is the worst possible Republican candidate to compete in this election
with such historical implications in play. He represents the past, not the
future. He’s unpopular with both Democrats and Republicans. There aren’t enough
Independents in the world to carry this "Maverick" to victory.
This was either the greatest strategic blunder in the worldwide history of
politics, or it was an intentional deathblow to the GOP, delivered at the hands
of RNC powerbrokers hell-bent on destroying the conservative party for good. You
decide…
Conservatives Golden Parachute
Conservatives have only two bailout options left on the table. Mike Huckabee
and the U.S. Senate.
Huckabee is highly unlikely to defeat the MSM golden boy McCain and even if
he did, there is little reason to think he would be any better than McCain in
the general election or the Oval Office.
So, the Senate is where conservatives must now turn their attention in a BIG
way!
Taking back control of the Senate, which must confirm all Supreme Court
nominees and pass all legislation, must now become job #1 for all conservatives.
The House is not realistically in play, but the closely divided Senate is…
Use the energy and money you were prepared to put into Thompson, Huckabee,
Paul, Hunter, Tancredo, Romney, Guliani or any other Republican, to make certain
that a conservative is sitting in your Senate seat after November.
If you can’t put a conservative in your Senate seat this year, take a look at
other Senate races where you can help other states pick up a conservative seat
in the Senate and put your resources to work there. We’re talking saving a
nation here…
Whether Clinton, Obama or McCain sit in the Oval Office for the next four
years, who controls the U.S. Senate will be vital to protecting and preserving
conservative values and principles for the next ten or twenty years. If
conservatives can’t unite around this one, they deserve what they get!
