McCain, has been, and will secure the GOP nomination. Period. But here's the question: Can McCain really win without the Conservative vote? I don't think so. Conservatives like myself detest McCain. He IS the utopian "RINO." There is still a large number of Conservatives who have sworn never to vote for McCain. Now granted some of those will cave in and vote for him in the end. I won't, and I think McCain is in deep trouble. Consider the following links from North Carolina, and Indiana...
27% of Republicans.........STILL voted for someone other than McCain.
Here's another link from Indiana:
23% of Republicans also voted for someone other than McCain
Folks, the bottom line is this...You can't win national elections without your base. Conservatives are the Base. Period. McCain hates Conservatives as evident by his "Maverick" mentality. Face it, he truly is a Maverick; a Maverick against his own party.
This puts Conservatives between a rock and hardplace. Do we vote for McCain and help move our party to the left? Or do we stand by our morals/principles and not vote for McCain. I'll never NOT USE my RIGHT to vote, but in this election, I'll be forced to vote for a write in.
What say you?
