A Dismal Portent

Super Tuesday left the Republican Party in a shambles and propelled the Democrats to within inches of winning the White House. The candidates’ post-election speeches clearly exhibited the tenor of the contest.

The Democratic choruses were wildly jubilant and the Republicans were polite, introspective and un-noteworthy. The Republican speeches bored voters and the Democrats’ inspired them.

Governor Huckabee seemed astounded by his wins and Senator McCain was smug. Governor Romney’s predictable pledge to continue the fight rang hollow. Barring an earthquake, Senator McCain will be the Republican candidate.

America is a crossroad and McCain doesn’t know which side of the street he lives on. While the Democratic nominee campaigns to win the hearts of independents, McCain will spend his time convincing Republicans that he is not a Democrat. Good luck John!

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) convenes in Washington DC, on February 7. Over 6,000 conservatives are expected to attend. Senator McCain will use this menu to convince conservatives that he is a worthy Republican candidate.

The crowd’s reaction should be interesting as he boycotted the affair in 2007. Just the mention of his name spontaneously raised a chorus of boos. It’s difficult to imagine he will incite anything beyond perfunctory applause.

Reality bites. Senator McCain has all the personal appeal of Bob Dole in a coma. Mr. Straight Talk will be pummeled in the fall election. The Democrats will win by a landslide.

Super Tuesday didn’t settle the Democratic race. But the economic polices of Senator Clinton and Senator Obama are nearly identical.

With the full cooperation of Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid, entitlements, amnesty, ACLU sponsored judges and retreat in the Middle East will be featured. The Middle Class will see taxes soar, the terrorists heartened and the economy grinding to a halt.

The kernel of good news—McCain’s defeat will lay the groundwork for another Republican revolution in 2010 because the Democratic agenda will self-destruct. And McCain will ride off into oblivion.

We can only hope the lighted path that Clinton or Obama, Pelosi and Reid will provide the terrorists can be shut off in time.
