The Ellsworth Endorsement

First: McCain is not like G.W. Bush - the similarities are: They are both Republicans. McCain is his own man - he doesn't need endorsers like Kennedy, Kerry-Heinz or Biden to make decisions for him. He has the experience and leadership to become an excellent President - which he will.
Second: The obama cult followers are celebrating too soon. Wait until the next expose' regarding obama comes down the line. (of course, you will blame Hillary and so will obama as it is well known he has a problem with accepting responsibility). Do you think that the "typical white person" will vote for a black person with close up and personal ties with an anti-American preacher, a white-hating wife, a supposedly American who loves to bomb America, a crook in Illinois who gave obama money from a person with terrorist ties, a person supported by the Hamas, and a person who detests Jews and "typical white senior citizens? Think again. John McCain is a hero - obama wasn't even a Boy Scout, he was busy studying the Koran. John McCain is a TRUE AMERICAN - Obama, with his Anti-American relationships, do you think the seniors, the women, the Hispanics, the Asians and the "typical White Washington DC politician will give obama the White House and the Oval Office so he can start to sell out this country to Iran? Better think once again. He will never be elected in the General Election.
Third: I hope that Hillary Clinton will never accept the VP with the obama/wright duo. Hillary is made of good American stuff - obama is the three day left over garbage, which was fed to him by Wright. Hillary will end up very powerful in Washington D.C. and will still make changes for the better. There is no hope and change from the Hussin obama/wright team.

YoProgDem:

Did you ever look at the record of one Ulysses S. Grant vs Robert E. Lee academically? Fighters and winners aren't always scholars.

If you could pick up the phone and call the White House to tell them how badly they are screwing over this country and you know they would take the call, would you make that call? Keep in mind, McCain opposed Bush's policies as well. That is why he had such a hard time getting the nomination.

If your Dad could have sent you to the finest leadership academy in the world, would it have made you more capable of choosing for the country instead of making a statement from guilt? Wherever he was in class standing, there is no way Harvard compares to the Naval Academy in terms of academic excellence, leadership training, or difficulty.

If you had 1/100th of the courage that McCain has, you'd be running for President instead of just talking, somewhat like your candidate.

No matter what happens to this nomination, the surest way to lose in the General Election is to trash talk McCain. Even the black vote will abandon you because whatever the differences, Americans stand up for their troops. When you understand that, you may be ready to make a choice for something instead of against it.

It's over for Hillary. Her race baiting comments today in USA today has toasted her. The progressive blog-o-sphere is fed up with her taking steps to inflame racial tensions.

Progressive Democrat said:

Yavo Lem must be a HIllary supporter because now they are making up entirely different rules altogether in order to somehow come up with a fake scenario showing Hillary winning. That is HILLARYIOUS. Only a Hillary supporter would even consider such a presposterous argument. Guess what Yavo, your candidate would have won if more people would have voted for her. Duh. Camp Hillary and her supporters need remedial math skills.

=========================================

Please, don't take my word for it. Do the math yourself. Look at the NYT site. What I posted shows who is the stronger candidate, just based on what they have accomplished so far.

Am I a Hillary supporter? Actually, no, I wasn’t, initially. I am a Registered Independent from Connecticut and I could not vote because my state has a CLOSED PRIMARY, so I empathize very strongly with the good voters of Florida and Michigan. That being said, since the New Hampshire debate, when Senator Obama began to reveal himself, I have learned more and more about him and Senator Clinton, and I decided that I would, for the first time in my 6-plus decades, support, both financially and by other efforts, the person I think is right for the times, not WRIGHT for the times.

Do I make myself clear?

However, if Senator Obama becomes the Democratic nominee, I will do one of two things, either vote Republican, or not vote at all. In my opinion, Senator McCain with a Democratic Congress should not be much of a problem ... for a one-term President, assuming he picks a young, economically-savvy VP, almost anyone but Condi.

McCain's policies are the same as Bush. In fact he likes his economic policy. Republicans need to get out so a dem will help our economy.

"If BO and his supporters keep trashing the Bill Clinton administration which has brought unprecedented peace and prosperity to this country, they are no dems, but simply doing a republican hit job."

Bill Clinton accomplished a lot in his presidency, but I was there, and I remember all the bad that came with that good.

I remember the Republican sweep of the Congress that his tactics brouht on.

I remember the country being paralyzed with scandal.

I remember that a lot of the economic mess that came after 2000 was due to bad choices during his administration.

I remember that Bid Laden was putting 9/11 together while we were busy impeaching him for his scandals and lies.

I remember that Al Gore lost to Bush due in part to the dead weight of Clinton's bad image.

I remember that we've paid for that with Bush for 8 years.

If BO and his supporters keep trashing the Bill Clinton administration which has brought unprecedented peace and prosperity to this country, they are no dems, but simply doing a republican hit job.

Of course, BO and BO supporters, use this dirty typical political trick for their own political gains by hitting one Clinton to implicate another Clinton.

For that, this demo candidate does not deserve the support of real democrats.

Competent executive leadership huh Len. That's why his campaign is in constant contact with the Whitehouse. That is why he has embraced all of Bush's policies. That is why he is McSame aka McBush. By the way, he graduated second to last in his class at the Naval Academy and only got in because his dad was an admiral.

I dislike the far left more than I dislike McCain and I'm a Democrat..for now.

More spin from the Clinton campers. Just like the delegates from MI. How does it feel now MI? Hillary sold you guys out today by not accepting the deal that MI proposed to the DNC LOL Are you guys STILL going to maintain that she is speaking for you? That SHE wants your vote to count LOL or are yu finally going to accept that YOU ONLY count if it is better for HER? Actions, as always, speak louder than words.

Wittle babies don't get their way they are going to take their toys and go home to the Republicans LOL How mature and uneducated but we already knew that didn't we?
Hope 4 more years of Bush is worth it for ya ROTFLMAO

fontapa sez: "We just need to remember that we despise McBush even more."

That's McCain and you are wrong about that. That is the child in you talking. McCain is a trained US Navy officer with years of experience in the Senate. He has a solid record of legislative achievement and a war record you can only envy.

Get a clue, Kid: this is about competent executive leadership, not pie in the sky dreams or getting even with the baby boomers because your generation has nothing to offer or remember.

McCain is quite acceptable as a President for four years.

Yavo Lem must be a HIllary supporter because now they are making up entirely different rules altogether in order to somehow come up with a fake scenario showing Hillary winning. That is HILLARYIOUS. Only a Hillary supporter would even consider such a presposterous argument. Guess what Yavo, your candidate would have won if more people would have voted for her. Duh.

Ellsworth (who represents my district) is waffling. Early on he said he'd cast his SuperD vote for whoever won his district. As our primary grew closer, he changed to what he's saying now. Obama has given him $10,000 from his Hopefund PAC. He's just trying to have it all ways.

The faux uniter doesn't have my vote under any circumstance.

barack hussien obama should face reality and get out of the race. He will NEVER be president.

Bye Bye Bitter; "I'll vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't win" folks. Good Riddance. He is going to need it since he cannot even win 78% of the Republican vote when he is the only one campaigning in his party.

Which Democratic is most electable?

Consider this:

The Democratic Electoral College as of April 23, 2008

This assumes a winner-take-all primary/caucus vote takes all Electoral votes for each state. The totals immediately below are WITHOUT any consideration of the states of Florida and Michigan.

Clinton 261

Obama 181

But with Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 305

Obama 181

Assuming the following victories, based on current polls, with Clinton winning Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Obama winning North Carolina, South Dakota, Oregon (which is doubtful), and Montana, the totals would then be, still without Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 285

Obama 209

Even with a victory for Obama in Indiana, the totals would be, still without Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 274

Obama 220

Whether or not the vote turns out as indicated, I firmly believe the above analysis more than amply demonstrates which of the Democratic candidates is in a better position to be the stronger candidate in the General Election.

In addition, the ACTUAL PLEDGED DELEGATE count, as per the New York Timss is:

Obama 1408
Clinton 1330

Difference 78

Everything else is counting one's chickens before they hatch.

This nominating process will go to Denver and be decided there. And I know who will be chosen.

I personally think Kathleen Sebelius would make a terrific VP.
