If Christoph Luxenberg is correct, there are going to be a lot of really pissed off suicide bombers in Paradise!
Perhaps, that why they have turned to retarded women to deliver the terrorists’ evil payloads.
What if those voters who considered themselves “very conservative” who voted for McCain had voted otherwise? How would Florida have come out?
I’ve already noted below that I am perplexed how any person who considers himself “very conservative” could have cast a vote in favor of McCain (I still would love to know from someone who did that what their reasoning was). But, what if…let’s look at the exit polling numbers.
Persons who identified themselves as “very conservative” comprised 27% of the Republican primary voters in Florida. Of those 27%, 21% voted for McCain. This represents 6% of the total votes cast in the Florida Republican Primary. Suppose those voters, instead of voting for McCain had instead voted half for Romney and half for Huckabee. McCain’s overall total would have declined from 36% of the total vote to 30%. Romney’s total votes would have climbed from 31% of the total vote to 34% and Huckabee would have increased from 14% to 17% overtaking Giuliani for third place (for whatever that’s worth in a winner-take-all state like Florida).
The delegate count, which currently stands at 95 for McCain and 67 for Romney, would instead be 40 for McCain and 124 for Romney. For the life of me, I cannot imagine what was going through the heads of the voters who consider themselves “very conservative.”
Let this be a cautionary tale for “very conservative” voters in other, upcoming primaries.
An interesting phenomenon has been occurring in the Republican primaries: Our women are not voting. Typically, women vote in higher percentages in primary races, but as this article graphically points out, that has not been the case this year. It leads me to wonder if our Republican woman are not defecting for the chance to vote for a female candidate (or a black candidate).
God, I hate to sound like those whiny Ron Paul supporters.
But, really. CNN should be ashamed of itself. If they weren’t going to ask Paul and Huckabee any questions, they should have simply not invited them to the debate. At least then they would have had some integrity. Sure, they would have taken heat, but the display at the latest Republican debate was deplorable. The whole scene seemed like the current situation where you can buy cigarettes, but good luck finding anywhere they will let you smoke them. Sure, we’ll invite you to the debate, but we’re not going to ask you any questions or let you talk.
On the other hand, we heard quite a bit from Romney and McCain. And this is probably appropriate. As is no secret, I had been leaning toward Huckabee for quite some time, but after South Carolina, I found myself drifting to Romney’s camp. The simple reason is that either Huck is taking support from Romney or the other way around. Meanwhile, Giuliani’s sudden and unexpected (I thought he’d wait at least until after Super Tuesday) departure from the field means that McCain has the liberal vote sewn up and the conservative vote is being split three ways. I wish to heck it was only being split two ways. It is simply mind-boggling that anyone who considers themselves conservative can bring themselves to vote for McCain, but the exit polls indicate that he is getting about 20-35% of the somewhat to very conservative vote. I wish somebody could tell me why. The point is, the third candidate - and since Romney is ahead of Huck, it would be Huck - is getting in the way of the “conservative” front runner. It is time for Huck to drop out. Before Tuesday.
