McCain Wins in S. Carolina, Avenges 2000 DrubbingPosted on Jan 19, 2008
John McCain dashed Mike Huckabee’s hopes of a strong showing in the first Southern primary with a big victory in South Carolina on Saturday. McCain famously lost a nasty contest with George W. Bush there eight years ago. By contrast, Mike Huckabee said his rival’s campaign was “civil and good and decent.” Mitt Romney gained an easy win Saturday in the Nevada caucuses. Victories for two GOP candidates in one day mean the Republican race remains unpredictable.

What ever will they do....” They won’t have to “do” anything except miss steping in shit. The Democrats will (as usual) pull defeat from the jaws of victory.
By kath cantarella, January 20 at 12:50 pm # The thing about the right that everyone against the Iraq war shouldremember, is that the unfettered corporate power that the right promotes by ‘less government’ is what caused the war. ‘The right’ can’t prevent future unnecessary wars if it stays ‘right’. There have to be checks and balances placed on corporate power. That means ‘more government’, that means the anti-war right-wing voters have to suck it up this year and vote left to try and fix the system to prevent another war. Make sense? Out of all candidates, McCain is the worst prospect for preventing another war. As a vet, he should know better, but he doesn’t seem to. Add Your Comment |
