Just seems to me that the media's running the shots even more than I thought. Almost everyone I know wanted to vote for Thompson.....friends and talk radio callers said the same thing; "Yes, I'd vote for Thompson, but he doesn't have a chance." Who said so? Who ordained him as the "No Chance Kid"? We were told he had the best and most complete position papers and that they were all out there for all to see. Anyone actually SEE them? Not me. You, neither? Fancy that.
Giuliani was the Golden Boy...did any of us doubt, 3 months ago, that he'd not be the Republican nominee? I sure thought he would. Then the media erupted with new Bernard Kerik gossip and went crazy with the stories of his having girlfriends driven around by cops, so where did ol' Rudy go? Under cover (maybe with her, but...I digress). He disappeared.
So...let's do the math: Thompson's out ("he doesn't have a chance"!) Rudy's out ("couldn't take the gossip?") Candidates: 0, Media : 2 (good Republicans go down)
But, like a Phoenix out of the Ashes, Giuliani's back, except he's not going to the small state primaries.....he disses them but announces "I'm going to win FLORIDA! I'll win FLORIDA!" Uhoh. Except, he did NOT win Florida. Here was the scene in Florida... Harold and Esther are sitting at home in their pink split level with the flamingo in the front yard hearing Rudy tell the world that he doesn't need New Hampshire because HE HAS FLORIDA! But, Harold says to Esther "who the heck does he think HE is.......he can't take us for granted. I'm not voting for him now....."
And then, the guy who was nowhere only 3 weeks ago, is the No. One Guy!? JUAN MC CAIN-EDDY? Yes, John McCain.
And the media loves McCain. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS....if he weren't a Republican, you'd think they liked him! They're calling him "the frontrunner" "the one to beat" . Since when? Since the media told us so by using these expressions. And now some nuts are saying McCain might pick Huckabee for his VP. HUCKABEE? Here's my take:
McCain is the Media's Golden Boy now. But, just wait until he's the candidate...and he will be, before the red/white/blue paint on the Republican Convention decorations have dried...McCain, signed, sealed, and delivered. Then the media will turn, watch for it. He'll be "McCain, the 72 year old who...." (too OLD), or "McCain, who had malignant melanoma and whose future isn't assured...." (too RISKY), or "McCain, divorced....." or "McCain, the HOTHEAD who was in solitary confinement too long..(too Hot Headed) and "McCain, who supports the war in Iraq..." Add to that Mr. Mike "we have to bring America back to Jesus" Huckabee ...and you don't think THAT is a LEFTIST MEDIA DREAM? I could win the presidency against them! With your kid brother as my running mate!! OH, yes..for a guy who loves Jesus, you have to admit the Leftist media hasn't taken their gloves off with him. Yet.
OH, yes... Obama or Hillary versus John McCain and Huckabee. Maybe then, Harold will say to Esther "Oyyy.." but, it'll be too late.
What happened to Romney? Does he still have a chance? you tell me. Lie, be optimistic......I'll swallow anything for a political lift today. Giulini, however, is apparently going to endorse McCain. So, at least we'll have a fairly good Attorney General or Secretary of State, huh?
IF the Republicans win. And, if it's up to the media, we will not.

We are doomed. Super Tuesday will result in a resounding defeat of the only semi-conservative candidate left, Mitt Romney. PREDICTION: 75% or more of Super Tuesday's delegates go to McCain. Don't dispute me, I'm never wrong.
All real conservatives have rallied around Mitt. The problem is that we are a minority. The majority of conservatives are supporting McCain. Why? You don't wanna know...
So what does it all mean?
It means our long-trumpeted control of the "new media", i.e., talk radio, the Internet, and the growing conservative print media, isn't at all what we thought it was. All three have done all they can do to support Mitt and denounce McCain. They have it right, but conservatives aren't listening or we aren't as strong as we thought.
No, the liberal mainstream media still determines the outcome of elections. They decide who conservatives will support. They still have us by the short hairs, regardless that you thought otherwise.
The electorate has shifted leftward in a way far larger than yours truly, Mr. Optimist, ever predicted.
The Democrats will pick up many new seats in Congress come November. The American public has let us down. It's our fault, not the politicians.
We are doomed. The pod people are winning. We can do nothing to stop it.

With congress having a whopping 11% approval rating , and the awful Bush having at least a 40 % approval rating, even by aol standards, I wouldn't drink hemlock just yet.
If Mitt does not get it, then he doesn't get it.
Most people are middle of the road and so called attitudes do go in cycles, so let us see what happens Tuesday.
Please cheer up.
As for the talk radio crowd, some are a bit off the deep end I think and are trying to control the sheeple just as badly as the libs do.
We just all need to think for ourselves, check things out .
One thing McCain has going for him, like it or not is plain old name reconigition , he just does.
Unless you are a political junkie, you have no idea who a Mitt is .
And from Massachussetts?
That scares some people, like southerners.
But yes, there are some awfully stupid people who do vote for the dumbest reason , and mostly because they are now conditioned to expect something in return for their votes.
Afraid it will take some more wake up calls.
Be strong .
