It would appease most of them more if good little Johnny gave them a 'reach-around'. A reach out is not going to get it with these thumpers.

LOL, you are not going to see 'Johnny' at a brokered convention.
What are the Obama voters going to think when the convention gives it to Hillary? Are they going to come on out and vote after getting screwed?

The funny thing is even when Democrats are dealt 4 aces they still find a way to blow it.

I would not count Mike Huckabee out of this race just yet. If he and Ron Paul manage to accumulate 471 delegates between them, Senator McCain will be out of the race and Governor Romney will be the one sitting the catbird's seat.

We live in interesting times, yes?

I would.

'If he and Ron Paul manage to accumulate 471 delegates between them...'

Stop right there. A gorilla is more likely to parachute out of a satellite and give you a briefcase full of gummi bears.

The more of what I see going on here in Texas, the more I am inclined to support Mike Huckabee, even though I dislike his religious proclivities. I don't like what happened in Washington state, either. That, is a load of horseshit. I think the time where we should allow party bigwigs to decide for us has come and gone. In fact, it should never happened in the first goddamned place.

There are times when the Goopers really piss me off and this is one of them.

A vote for Huckabee is a vote for Obama.

The dems have 796 'super' delegates. If the floor vote at the convention locks up, these folks will be the people picking the candidate.

You should see who these folks are. Mostly congressmen and women, and a load of the usual DNC wags.

Bill Crinton and Al Gore are super delegates. Now ask yourself this: why would the party give ANYONE working on someone's campaign a slot as a 'superdelegate'???

This is the gold standard for the premise that libnazis wish to usurp the will of the people, even in their own party! Can you find a better example of elitism?

Here's a thought provoking bit of reading:

www.lincolntribune.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=8163

Snippet:'Many of the conservatives I know harbor hope that, unlike Clinton’s views, Obama’s aren’t set it stone. They notice that a couple of his economic advisors are market-friendly, that he has effectively argued against federal health-insurance mandates, and that his rhetoric on trade policy isn’t as strident as hers. There’s an irony, here: while conservatives recoiled from Bill Clinton’s personal behavior, they did see him defend free trade and change his mind on welfare reform and investment taxes. They doubt whether Hillary is persuadable on much of anything.'

And here's something informative about Conservative inclinations this time around:

www.ajc.com/opinion/content/shared-blogs/ajc/thinkingright/entries/2008 /02/14/john_mccain_beats_hillary_clin.html

Snippet:'John McCain beats Hillary Clinton; Barack Obama beats him. That’s the findings of a new nationwide Zogby Interactive poll conducted Feb. 8-11.

The surprising number, though, remains Hillary’s problem with men and McCain’s with his own party. Against either Obama or McCain, she wins less than 80 percent of Democrats — though that’s better than McCain does among Republicans. Against Hillary, he pulls 72 percent of Republicans. Ouch. Though they’d be foolish to do it, some conservatives are beginning to talk of aligning themselves with the Constitution Party, which is on 16 ballots and expects to be on 40. It nominates a presidential candidate in April.

Looking to the general election, it is hard to imagine McCain winning if, indeed, any number of conservatives split off or sit it out. McCain draws independents, and would draw more than Hillary, but he loses them to Obama, 46-33, according to Zogby.'

Mister Zogby's skills as a pollster are beyond question, usually.

Insofar as politics go, this guy's message is right on target:
