So, I take it that Ben Nelson is hitting the campaign trail for mano a mano McCain?

Something very weird just happened.

We Nebraska Democrats caucus tomorrow, Feb. 9. For the first time in our meek little lives, for a few fleeting days, we’re on the national radar screen. And the times, they are a-changin’.

I just received a phone message recorded by Senator Ben Nelson, Nebraska’s ghastly Repug-in-Dem’s-clothing, the absolute right-wingiest Democrat in the Senate, now that Lieberman’s an Independent. Nelson was calling to urge me to caucus for… Obama!

Ben Nelson. Ben. Nelson. Supports Obama.

Wow. Just… wow.

All this b.s about McCain and the conservatives is a joke, just a media circle-jerk. It’s February, for chrissake. McCain has 9 months to unite the party, and he will. If Hillary wins, the Repubs will be all on-board the hate train.
Go Barack..

At this point any establishment republican slamming McCain is essentially promoting Huckabee(I seriously doubt Delay favors Ron Paul), but you’d think they’d have enough sense to know that McCain is less likely to look like a bloody loony in the general election.

Wouldn’t you?

FWIW: I don’t think Romney believes any of the crazy sh** he says, and his nutso vitriolic concession speech was just designed to remind the GOP establishment that he’s willing to say all the crazy stuff they like to hear because he wants to be the VP nominee. My sense of Romney has always been that his only core ideology is that it would really, really be neat to be president.

Follow up to Joanr16, Romney’s quote:

If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror.

A fox in sheeps clothing withdrew from the race today – my faith in the electorate is being restored.

I suffered this fool as my governor for four years. It became clear very soon into his term that he had national ambitions. It was also clear to us that he changed his views to suit that purpose (and they called Kerry a flip-flopper).

Despite the false bravado in his concession speech today (about party unity in order to save our country from the inevitable terrorist attacks under Democratic governance), you can be sure he will be praying for Clinton or Obama to prevail so he can run again in 2012. He wants it so bad he can taste it and will say whatever it takes.

With that being said….. The shallow side of me wants to say how happy I am that Rush and Anne are soooo unhappy. Teehee!! Life is good!

I watched Countdown tonight and Pat Buchanan said something I hadn’t heard before, McCain doesn’t even want to bother with a second term. If indeed the put the Huckster as a Vice-President with the implicit promise on not running a 76 year old McCain in 2012 against the bane of every conservatives life – Hillary Clinton – could they win?

I don’t get it..Isn’t a perpetual war against Islam worth more to the conservatives than persecuting homosexuals or flushing out Mexican wet backs. What’s their beef?..Intelligent design is still alive, and Roe v.Wade remains under constant attack in spite of who’s president. K street has funded McCain so why are they so upset? I hear Dobson is considering not voting in the general election for lack of a suitable candidate. Oh boy, will we be sorry.

I loved Romney’s parting theme..To die so that others may live. Pythias..?

McCain won, as he has all year, because moderates and liberals [as if there were still Republican liberals], opponents of President Bush, and critics of the Iraq war continued to rally to him despite his stands on many of the issues that arouse their ire.

No shit. American voters continue to divine candidates’ intentions based on–what? I’ll never figure it out.
