Many conservatives say they would rather sit out the election than vote for McCain, who has an &amp;quot;open borders&amp;quot; advocate as his Hispanic outreach director (per Michelle Malkin), and who started a non profit organization that was funded by George Soros: see Dr. Jerome Corsi piece in www.Onenewsnow.com.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#666410</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 22:11:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:666410</guid><dc:creator>Mark, Moore, OK</dc:creator><description>Though I think McCain still wins, this notion is as absurd as the DNC Super-delegate Conspiracy. &amp;nbsp;This sets the notion that an actual presidential contender could &amp;quot;higher&amp;quot; a false contender in order to run two campaigns and win a primary election. &amp;nbsp;Furthermore, I believe in this case, if Romney had not been running a large majority of the voting public could have easily swayed toward the more conservative, Huckabee. &amp;nbsp;Glad to see our Conservative Party is still ran &amp;quot;By the PEOPLE,&amp;quot; not just one person. &amp;nbsp;Romney should now be considered a &amp;quot;Super-Super Delegate&amp;quot;</description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#666411</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 22:12:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:666411</guid><dc:creator>tom doucette steele mo </dc:creator><description>Darel you need to read your Bible.This is our country and it was founded by christ like people.

I, and many other Social and Moderate Conservatives are realizing Republican Party officials hijacked the chance for free elections in 2008, Washington State is a prime example. Romneys delegates are voting citizens (not his sole property) of this country, who should, as we all do, have the option to assess our candidates in current forums and vote at said time, even if it's contradictory to their intial vote. You can not pledge yourself as a conservative constitutional nominee and then hold captive our citizens right to vote. Vote fair elections, give all participating delegates equal opportunity. </description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#666854</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 Feb 2008 23:56:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:666854</guid><dc:creator>Rex Y</dc:creator><description>All POLITICIANS are just like whores, pay them money and you can get anything you want. &amp;nbsp;WAKE UP people!!!

I also think that the Democratic Party's candidate strategy in this election is a bit too &amp;quot;avante-garde&amp;quot; for the country, at the moment. &amp;nbsp;This country, while it may have given a slim majority to the Democrats, is still very much in a conservative mind-set. &amp;nbsp;I'm guessing Obama will be the Democrats' choice of a candidate. &amp;nbsp;McCain looks like a &amp;quot;shoo-in&amp;quot; for the Republicans. &amp;nbsp;The outcome? &amp;nbsp;I'm betting on John McCain. . . .and it's not because I'm a Republican. &amp;nbsp;I'm not. &amp;nbsp;The political parties in this country are totally out of touch with the country's voters. &amp;nbsp;The voters are hopping mad at both parties, because the parties won't give them a candidate they can truly support. &amp;nbsp;So, they're choosing &amp;quot;the lesser of the evils&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Obama is &amp;quot;too green&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Hillary is a woman. &amp;nbsp;The country isn't ready, yet, to &amp;quot;experiment&amp;quot; with something it's never had in its history. . . .either a woman President, or an African-American President. &amp;nbsp;That's why I think the Democrats are a bit &amp;quot;avante-garde&amp;quot; in their thinking in advancing these candidates. &amp;nbsp;That's why I think John McCain is going to be our next President. &amp;nbsp;More by default than anything else, because the Democratic Party isn't giving the people a choice they can truly support.</description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#666921</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:21:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:666921</guid><dc:creator>Los Angeles</dc:creator><description>I think this is a clear sign that Romney will be on the ticket as a VP.</description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#666947</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:29:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:666947</guid><dc:creator>Kim, IL</dc:creator><description>I don't believe any potential candidate should be able to give their delegates away to other potential candidates because that opens up future opportunites for candidates to abuse how the democratic system works.

Check out the FairTax and Mike Huckabee websites to learn more, and help Huck nail the going out of business sign on the door of the IRS! </description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#667195</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 02:07:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:667195</guid><dc:creator>chris, phoenix, az</dc:creator><description>Darel, Greenville, SC&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yeah, well Darel, it sure seems like he was able to outlast all of the &amp;quot;electable&amp;quot; candidates for the GOP except for McCain. &amp;nbsp;Your kind of vitriolic attitude is why many of huckabee's supporters are huckabee supporters, although I am the farthest thing from an evangelical, he represents a decency that the Fred Thompsons and Romneys of the race simply do not. &amp;nbsp;People who are that critical about other people who have accomplished a lot more than they have are sad. &amp;nbsp; </description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#667198</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 02:09:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:667198</guid><dc:creator>Marine Wife, Madison, AL</dc:creator><description>Political parties are like children. Sometimes you have to let them fall before they learn to pick themselves up. Republican party, you’re on your own! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I’m amazed at all the Romney supporters that forgot the evil doing McCain did a day or two before the Florida primary. He straight out lied about Romney’s stance on setting dates for troop withdraw. He did it again not just to Romney, but to all of you at Reagan’s Library. We all knew he was lying. You knew it and his face showed it. Now, you’re all going to jump on the McCain bandwagon?? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Many people before us died fighting for what they believed in……we sit around flip flopping on our convictions because “THE” Party tells us to.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I support Huckabee, but I have GREAT respect for Ron Paul supporters too. They never give up. They believe in something and they stand for something whether the majority takes them seriously or not. Ask yourself….what do YOU stand for? And then don’t talk about it. Live it.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#667213</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 02:16:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:667213</guid><dc:creator>Lisa, Wichita, KS</dc:creator><description>Does anyone here even know anything about Ron Paul? &amp;nbsp;He is the guy for the job. &amp;nbsp;He has a plan to end the war and save our economy. &amp;nbsp;Read about him at www.ronpaul2008.com. &amp;nbsp;Yes, he is still in the running, but you won't hear about him on TV. &amp;nbsp;Research all of the candidates, and I bet you will like Ron Paul better than any of them.</description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#667225</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 02:24:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:667225</guid><dc:creator>Norm El Toro, CA</dc:creator><description>Dan Abrams is a single topic junior reporter, get a new one</description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#667379</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 04:09:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:667379</guid><dc:creator>MTL, Mpls, MN</dc:creator><description>I suspect it's doubtful that Romney has many, if any, delegates to give. &amp;nbsp;Jim Geraghty at Campaign Spot in his 3:02 entry has this:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;UPDATE: However, some of the caucus states where Romney has won or finished well, the delegates have yet to be named.

Do you think it's fair when Ron Paul was given almost no time to talk in the debates and no media attention. &amp;nbsp;His speech at the Conservative Convention was the only one not televised. They televised McCain, Romney and Huckabee. Ann Coulter said she was afraid to have a conversation with Ron Paul because he is so intelligent that he may make her want to support him. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;It looks like more people would be confronting the media about why they are afraid to let people hear Ron Paul? &amp;nbsp;No more free speech in America so we can decide for ourselves?? &amp;nbsp;Even if you're not for him, doesn't this bother any of you. &amp;nbsp;Ron Paul MUST have something very special if they go to such an extent to hope he's not seen and heard!&lt;br&gt;What I don't get is why everyone says they don't like Bush and how bad things are right now and then they turn around and vote for McCain who is exactly like him. &amp;nbsp;Can you tell me the difference between them? Ron Paul gets more financial support from veterans than any other candidate, republican or democrat. &amp;nbsp;Supporting the troops is getting them OUT of Iraq, not sending them there over and over until they end up killing themselves or so mentally messed up that they don't want to live anymore. &amp;nbsp;You call that supporting the troops? &amp;nbsp;Do you all care more about Iraq than our own citizens? &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Can McCain get Romney's delegates?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/14/665455.aspx#669195</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 20:12:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:669195</guid><dc:creator>Linda, Shelton, CT</dc:creator><description>P.S. &amp;nbsp;All of you that say to stay in Iraq until we &amp;quot;WIN&amp;quot;??? &amp;nbsp;How can anyone think that there is a way to win? &amp;nbsp; My brother was killed in Vietnam and now after 40 years some people are saying we won in Vietnam? &amp;nbsp;That's the biggest bunch of garbage I've ever heard. &amp;nbsp;Also, I believe Ron Paul when he says we're in much more danger by being in Iraq then if we weren't. &amp;nbsp;By being there our enemies have a reason to attack us. &amp;nbsp;</description></item></channel></rss>
