Now while Mccain did well here in 2000, I think it might be slightly premature to chaulk him up as the winner in NH in ’08. living in the largest city in NH I have noticed that there is an aweful lot of positive talk regarding the Bay state governor, I think largely, because we receive so much news from Mass. What I just want to say is that it would be foolish to send Romney packing just yet. He is a resident of our state for part of the year anyhow with his waterfront property on Winnepesauke.

It’s been a while since we rounded-up 2008 related info from around blogland, so here goes:

Ryan:

It was John McCain who brokered the “Gang of Fourteen” deal. It was, and is, McCain pushing the “anti-torture” law that will give people like Dick Durbin cover to compare coercive iinterrogation tactics at Gitmo to Nazi concentration camps. It was McCain, along with Russ Feingold, who used the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act, aka McCain-Feingold, to trash what’s left of the First Amendment. It is McCain who, according to Progressive Punch at

http://www.progressivepunch.org/members.jsp?member=AZIII&district=At%20large&issue=C0

scores a perfect one hundred percent on support of gun control. “Light” enough for you?

As for the Hildebeast, do you really think it was Bill who came up with Hillary-care or “Don’t ask, don’t tell” or suggested to the IRS that audits were in order for every one who came out in opposition to the Clinton administration? I don’t.

Hillary Clinton is an “uber-liberal” and John McCain is “conservative light”? When exactly did the Republican Party jump the shark?

Actually, I like to argue with conservatives; it helps clear my sinuses (and liberals are too easy).

But I’m not arguing to throw McCain under the bus today. I can wait two years until he comes knocking, looking for the nomination. And if Iran, North Korea and especially Iraq aren’t at least well on their way to being settled issues, then it won’t matter who we nominate, we’ll be cooked.

Fatman, I hate arguing with other conservatives. McCain pisses off a lot of Republicans. Hell, he even pisses me off some times and I’m a supporter. Fact is, we have bigger fish to fry right now (Democratic fish who want to see us lose a war so they can beat Bush over the head with that fact). Therefore, I think we need to agree to disagree and focus on the real adversaries (Islamists) and defeat those who would put domestic political advantage before aggressively fighting our enemies.

J.A., I still like Huckabee, while acknowledging he’s a long shot…but hey, long shots (like Bill Clinton) sometimes get the nod…and utron, I actually voted in the Kos Kidz poll for Lieberman…he didn’t even make the list of vote tallies…

And not just about SCOTUS.

It would be ironic indeed to elect a president who is willing to go to war to free other countries and take away the terrorists’ safe havens while at the same time packing the SCOTUS with justices only too willing to restrict OUR freedoms.

Up to a point (and Harriet Miers was well past that point) I’m willing to trust Bush’s choices for SCOTUS. McCain I trust as far as I can spit.
