I don't think the November election will be Obama vs. McCain.

[Marr]

Anyone else think the GOP is going to find a way to replace McCain with Romney, or some other more telegenic stooge? The number of gaffes coming out of McCain's campaign have been stunning, and he's just not getting traction. The right-wing loons are never going to be enthusiastic about him.

If the GOP thinks they're going to lose the game, they'll change the rules. I'm expecting McCain to bow out due to "health reasons" or something right around October, and the corporate media to do a marketing blitz for their 'fresh' new replacement.

Anyone else getting that same impression lately?

1. I thought you were going to imply something else . . .

McCain and Obama's next-in-line.

:scared:

[snappyturtle]

2. I've thought about the possibility. He comes across like a blundering,

blustering Flub-A-Dub....if you remember the Howdy Dowdy character!

[Frustratedlady]

3. I've said from Day 1 that McCain was a marker. They will replace him...

in their own way...and either put Romney and/or Jeb in. A little tweaking to the voting machines and all the evidence is safe for another 8 years.

Just sayin'.

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. Sadly, I think so too. Even sadder still, the Congressional Dems don't seem to have done much to

deal with the election thefts methods.

[navarth]

4. Thom Hartmann's been saying this same thing for some time now.

He thinks they're going to stage a medical incident or something, and immediately replace him with Mittens, who will have a veep candidate all ready. Brownback?

Sounds plausible, I must ssy.

[exothermic]

9. I don't think staging something is even necessary. He looks like a guy with a foot in

the grave already...
:eyes:

[cliffordu]

5. A couple of the hardheads and I have been squawking the same thing for the

last couple of months.

McCain is too fucked up to be president.

They are going to wait till the last second so the sheeple don't have time to REALLY consider what kind of looney toon Romney is....He'll just be a NEOCON spokesmodel.

Like the newsreaders in the MSM already are...

And remember, kids, Slavery is Freedom, War is peace, Hate is Love and Religion is Salvation.

[snappyturtle]

8. I think Mittens is the obvious choice afterall he put his money where

his mouth is thus making a huge committment that will not be lost.

[NightWatcher]

7. I've thought the same. McSame is screwing up on a daily basis

EVERY day he commits an error of ignorance, stupidity, senility, or all of the above. I believe that he will be replaced by Romney (Mr. Bain Capital) and Mitten's VP candidate

[saltpoint]

10. Maybe McCain is getting back at the Bush-controlled GOP for the

humiliation from South Carolina in 2000.

Otherwise we're forced to believe McCain is a clueless dolt. Actually, that's been my assumption about McCain for some time now.

I think it's unlikely he'd be replaced, unless the health scare was for real, and in that case, who would they put in instead?

Romney is a Mormon and a vampire. Huckabee's a cast-off from Hee-Haw. Giuliani is a brainless thug. And so on. They're all macabre, corrupt, unappealing, unelectable.

[Booster]

11. I don't think so. I think they know McCain can't win; they don't

want to win this time. Conress will treat Obama like they would have treated Hillary had she won. They will do everything in their power to show that neither a black man nor a woman is capable of being President. To clean up the mess the Republicans have made will be a monumental task and when a Dem gets in there, they will blame everything that happened during the last 8 yrs on them, and then in the next election 4 yrs later, they will run Jeb. Just my thoughts.

[L. Coyote]

12. I've been saying this all along. Darth Invader is in control, and will run.

Waiting until the convention means Cheney escapes a yar of negative scrutiny.

And, the current dumbass is going overboard to make the Darth look young and intelligent! :rofl:

[DCKit]

13. I've been camping there for months.

But they're going to have one hell of a time explaining to the primary voters if they try to pull it off before, or at, the convention. It's got to be after and close enough to the GE so people don't have time to learn about the "new" candy-date.

Then again, this kind of bait-and-switch may not go over as well as some might think. The remaining Republic die-hards are confused, embarrassed and marginalized already - something like this might be enough to make them stay home or vote for that anti-Christ (you know, what's his name) the Dems are running.:sarcasm:

Oh noes!!!

[debbierlus]

14. It could happen. McCain simply can't hold up. He is falling apart.

I seriously think he is suffering from dementia.

[no_hypocrisy]

15. You could be right. McCain doesn't seem to WANT it bad enough.

Or he isn't up to wanting it bad enough.

The question is who is the replacement for this shell game.

[Liberal Gramma]

16. He wants it badly enough

He's reversed himself on every one of his maverick positions in order to get and hold the nomination. It's not for lack of desire that he isn't doing better. It's that his star doesn't shine very brightly next to Obama's, and that the country is fed up to the teeth with George Bush's policies, which McLame endorses.

[no_hypocrisy]

17. Point well stated. I concede.

[flashl]

18. Anyone remember rumors about Bush41's 'breakdown' during campaign against Clinton? nt

[moondust]

19. McCain/Romney ---> Romney/Huck.

Settled at the Repo convention. :evilgrin:

[Kazak]

20. It wouldn't suprise me at all...

:shrug:
