I'm fine with a legitimate alternative to McCain. The Guv. needs to get to work lining up support and $ to become legit.

Brownback won't be able to win in the general (I don't even think Romney, Guiliani, or Gingrich will be close to locking up the nomination) because he'll lose GOP votes over the war and have trouble winning over moderates. I think your best bet would be with Mike Huckabee. He'll get the religious vote and he'll have tremendous sway over moderates and Independents. I saw him on the Daily Show the other day and as a Democrat, I was scared. So, take this advice from a Democrat, you want to win, get behind this guy. Why would I, a Democrat, give such advice to you guys? Because as much as I wouldn't want a Huckabee Presidency, I know a Huckabee candidacy will open up a lot of good dialogue and debate in this country that is badly needed.

How can you argue with that? If we had used overwhelming force, suppressed the enemy, and locked down the border instead of doing the racetrack to Baghdad approach, I think you would see a much more secure situation there. In order to do those things we would have had to use more troops. Nothing hypocritical about that. Snart, McCain said the execution of the war will go down as one of the worst mistakes.

McCain, in the 1/13/07 issue of the Washington Post? John McCain describes his feelings regarding the decision of the Bush administration to increase troop strength in Iraq. Although Bush has embraced McCain's long-standing insistence to send more troops to Iraq, McCain believes the way the war has been handled, "will go down as one of the worst" mistakes in the history of the American military. "One of the most frustrating things that's ever happened in my political life," he said, "is watching this train wreck." Since the old war-horse has consistently advocated this action, one wonders if this "train wreck" would be so egregious if McCain himself had authorized it---from a seat in the Oval Office.

He has but one vote. Christian conservatives must be very careful not burn too many bridges. There aren't many alternative candidates that have a legitimate shot at getting into the White House. DSW is right, we have to choose a candidate who can WIN, even if that person is not exactly our cup of tea. Either that or concede the race to the Democratics. I think Dr. Dobson would prefer McCain to Clinton or Obama, as would most of your readers. Forming a separate Conservative Party that will garner a 20 point protest vote just to stick it to the GOP is counterproductive. It is not easy being a Conservative in this day. Flexibility, without the abandonment of principle is the only way to truly survive. Demographics are changing. 1980 was great, but will not happen again, the world is a different place now.
