The 2008 presidential field at-a-glance

[KAPital PHINUst]

It's down to McCain vs. Ron Paul at the GOP Convention.

This is gonna be good to watch. Make no mistake, McCain has not secured the GOP nomination. Only the delegates themselves can decide the nomination, and until the GOP Convention commences in St. Paul this September, it's still anybody's shot (including those who dropped out--fortunately or unfortunately).

LOL. Thanks Nittanyalum. I always like your explanations.

You obviously have me confused for someone who thinks that if McCain becomes president, then this country will change for the better.

OTOH, perhaps you're right: I'm deluded into thinking that this county isn't totally incorrigible and that our fellow citizens aren't really oblivious to the fact that our nation is in serious jeopardy until it's too late, and we're all @$$ed out because we voted for a leader that knowingly and willing placed us there and cares nothing about us or what this country stands for, as long as he's fed, clothed, and has plenty of $$ in this country.

Yeah, I'm deluded into optimistic thinking--and wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China.

Whoa whoa there, Mr. Histrionics. I'm not one of those you reference above either. I wouldn't fear a McCain presidency as much as a Huckabee or RON PAUL presidency, but DC needs too much of a shake-up to keep the GOP in the White House.

My "deluded" comment was in regards to your still clinging to any shred of hope that the GOP nomination isn't locked up. Because it is. Paul is staying in for whatever continued attention he can get and his 'presidential' campaign (and funds) are surely also helping his congressional seat run ("indirectly" of course). Mr. Fiscal Conservative. Spending people's money where it has the most impact. For him. Huh. Interesting.

It isn't locked up until the delegates have their say in September, and not a moment before. FWIW, I hope there is an upset at the convention and even if Paul loses, I hope he gives McCain a run for his money. With this happening I will get the pleasure of seeing the MSM eat crow and humble pie for dessert. Or they'll just be backpedalling like a mu'lova.

Paul is staying in because his supporters want him to stay in and the campaign funds are still coming in (albeit at a much slower pace). When the convention is decided or the funds and support dries up, then and only then will he concede--and not a moment before.

LOL. Yeah, but you keep at it, SEC, that's the important thing. Determination. It'll pay off in other ways.
