Clinton (Bill) never got even 50% of the vote in either presidential election. he had third party spoilers that peeled off votes from the GOPer... so, Clinton got in by the skin of his teeth.

Maybe our best shot now is a brokered convention? I cant even imagine who that would be though..

Believe it or not Fred Thompson could be the big winner in a brokered convention.

"McCain Claims Conservative Mantle"

Now THAT is my definition of irony.  That gun-grabbing, anti-free speech, pro-illegal bastard will not get in if I can do anything.

The lines are drawn my friends.  Romney is our last, best hope.



That's what I'm saying. At least Romney made it extremely close in FL and picked up some delegates.


we were watching FOX earlier and the crawl said McCain picked up all the delegates in Florida.. is that not correct? Did Romney get some of the delegates?

Florida is an all-or-nothing state, if I read correctly.

Crap on a cracker!
