Wasn’t Giuliani ahead of his competition by considerable margins this time last year?

Your point, if you please?

I know this is off topic and I apologize for infiltrating the blog like this. However, I’m planning a convention for College Republicans and was wondering if anyone would be willing to get me in contact with some people who would be willing to speak at our conference. I’d appreciate any help, thanks!

Ben,
Email me at kavon_w_nikrad@yahoo.com . I’m not sure how helpful I can be, but I’ll try to point you in the right direction.

#1 – Exactly – These numbers are meaningless at this point – the economy will be the number one issue on the minds of the voters in November as this recession will continue to get worse – the voters will be hungry for change and they get hurt by this recession and eager to stop spending money on a futile war – McCain biggest advantage over Obama (national security) will become a liability and McCain will have nothing to talk about if he can’t talk about the war – he already has said he doesn’t know much about the economy – he’s going to get creamed in November.

JamesB – You sound like you are creaming yourself at the prospect of an Obama victory in November.
Have faith. We will take care of this shady Chicago charlatan yet.

what is the consensus on Hillary staying in past Tuesday?
If she wins both she obviously stays in
If she loses both, she seems to be out
What if she splits? Lets say she wins OH but loses TX, or vice versa. Does she stay in through at least PA then?
Unfortunately for Hillary, even if she wins both OH and TX by lets say 5% each or around there as the polls show, Obaam could end up ahead in delegates by a blow out in Vermont, and even if she wins each state by say 10%, he’d make up his losses by sure blowouts in MS and WY that would restore his delegate lead.
I don’t think she can make up the delegate lead but if she stays in through 4/22 that gives plenty of time for Obama to collapse or make a gaffe or some news story to come out or the Rezko trial which starts next week to sink him or lots of things.
All republicans should be rooting for Hillary and voting for her in OH and TX if they can

Per #9 jim-
My two cents, FWIW:
I say she stsys in even if she loses BOTH Texas and Ohio, statewide. The reasons:
a) her refusal to acknowledge any possibility of defeat.
b) her belief that she can still win by trying to seat the disputed delegations from Michigan and Florida and by winning among supers;
c) the fact that they raised $35 million in February – meaning that they can probably afford to keep their 700 staffers in the field and the campaign jet fueled and buy TV ads in Pennsylvania and the rest of the remaining states.

Hmmm, looks like y’all might have to say goodbye to all those fantasies of winning PA or other states where there are lots of Reagan Democratic Catholic voters.

Right on. I’m sure McCain knowingly would diss Catholics. Especially after he had the decency to back up The Chosen One after someone so viciously called him by his actual middle name. McCain sure is bigoted. Yesiree. I’m sure he doesn’t have a prayer now.
February 28th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Clinton may “want” to keep going even if she loses Texas and/or Ohio, but the party would drop a house on her. First, her husband said she must win both. Second, Ed Rendell said she must win both. Third, the delegate math requires that she win both by large margins. So if they try to move the goalposts again it will be seen as selfish and superdelegates will no longer feel compelled to sit on the sidelines.
Speaking of money what are McCain’s February numbers?
February 28th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Tano:
Catholic voters will vote for McCain over Obama any day.
Who the hell is John Hagee anyway?
February 28th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
I still can’t beleive i have to vote for McCain. And NO i won’t get over it. Don’t get me wrong…I will vote for him—-while holding my nose——. It’s depressing.
February 28th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Thanks Kavon, will do.

Me and my whole family are catholic and I don’t know of anyone voting for McCain and the number one reason is his age. My 64 y.o. aunt, a retired teacher, opined that McCain needed “some warm milk and a rest.” I think this illustrates a problem because people like my aunt are often physically reminded of their age, whether its some new pain, their friends dying, or just stiffness. And then they look at McCain (who looks even older than his 71) and wonder how in the word could he be president.
