Convention Time

I will not bow down to the McCain sycophants, and I will not allow McCain to roll over this party. You want to nominate a liberal to fight the Democrats, fine. It's your funeral. I will not go quiet, and don't tell me that I should "know my place" and "fall in line." Then again, this is not 100% in the bag for McCain either. If McCain is unable to exceed 30% in each primary, and loses one of the "Winner Take All" primaries this baby goes to convention. Thus far, McCain has not been able to blow out the 1/3 vote. If he continues this trend, he can not get the necessary delegates to win the nomination. His only hope ... Mitt continues to be the adult on the stage and bows out gracefully (the only way Mitt knows how to do anything is gracefully).

What does it matter if this goes to convention, if McCain has the most votes going into convention, he wins, right? Likely, but not necessarily. There is a chance that in the end, the convention will vote Mitt Romney into his rightful place as the ONLY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN; The Republican who would have been elected if not for the McCain/Huckabee partnership.

Now I know it looks like I am going for the silver lining of this rain cloud, but really I am not. I know Mitt will probably pull out of this race and save face. I think Mitt will pull out later this week because Mitt knows what I know; The longer this primary drags out, the longer before the Republican can start a national bid. What's a guy to do?

Mitt is not as divisive as I am. Mitt does not want the Democrats to win the Presidency in hopes to strengthen the Republican party. Mitt does want a Republican in the White House. This leaves him only one choice, pull out, and give John McAmnesty the green light. I give Mitt a lot of credit by saying this; he is a bigger man than I.

Of course there is still two possibilities that have silver linings here; If McCain does not win the Presidency. Mitt has a new platform to run on in 2012; "Not only is Washington broken, but last time we learned that sending the same politicians back in different seats doesn't work. We also learned that we can not beat the liberals by being a liberal."

If McCain does win the Presidency (and he wont have a chance unless Hillary is the nominee), the lack of confidence we will have in McLiberal will allow Mitt to come in as an insurgent candidate, removing the ineffective President and putting in the better, stronger version of a Republican. Mitt can use the platform of "look what happens when Republicans try to be Democrats. You get a lame duck who can not pass anything. Republicans think his ideas are too liberal, and the Democrats won't pass anything because it was agreed to by the Republican President. We need a true conservative to work through the log jams in congress."

I still don't know what I am going to do in November. My wife tells me I should just stay home rather than vote dem...

I CANT EVEN SAY IT!!!
