McCain Could Clinch GOP Nomination Tonight
Although all the attention is on the Democratic side for tonight's primaries, there could be some big news for the Republican nomination, too — assuming he gets a big majority of tonight's 256 Republican delegates, John McCain will officially have won the 1,191 total delegates he needs to clinch the Republican nomination.
If that happens, look for Mike Huckabee to end his campaign soon and concede defeat — after all, he has said repeatedly he would keep going until somebody got past the goal-post.

Hillary Clinton now has the backing of Rush Limbaugh.
In return, Hillary is now throwing her support behind John McCain.
Hillery throws her support behind John McCain over Senator Obama, and then goes on to give a great example of how she put her experince to the test at a crucial time.
Watch it for yourselves. Hillary is still a Goldwater Girl at Heart. She loves those Republican Senators from Arizona

What about poor Ron Paul? Will no one think about poor Ron Paul now? :(

Although she never acknowledges Obama victories, I'm sure she will graciously congratulate him tonight.

By "him" I meant McCain.

I wonder if, should Hillary get the nomination, she's set herself up for a bit of a fall with this experience narrative. After all, McCain has tons more experience than she does, and wouldn't it be easy for him to throw all her words back in her face?

From my Houston, TX perspective, all I see are bumper stickers, yard signs, and t-shirts for Obama and Ron Paul. Were it not for the Internet or the media, I'd swear neither Hillary nor McCain were running.
I'll take that back. Wesley Clark did leave me a voicemail yesterday explaining to me the important national security experience that first ladies accumulate. However, I've received two calls from live Obama supporters in the past three days.

It's the essential flaw in her argument. If experience is the key criteria, there's no way she matches up to McCain.
Remember, unlike Obama, McCain won't hesitate to the relevance of her experiance as First Lady. Not to mention counting First Lady of Arkansas on her resume.

Obviously not enough coffee for me this morning.
First, I was trying to respond to Anneliz's post.
Second, I meant to type that McCain won't hestitate to question the relevance of her experience.
Sorry.

The republicans are nuts for voting McCain in - they had a much better chance with Huckabee. People actuall LIKE Huckabee - this coming from a well known Democrat.

Why isn't anyone pointing out the THOUSANDS that have died on both sides because Hillary Clinton and John McCain authorized the biggest blunder in American history by invading Iraq?
It's not just a VOTE them made - it's about what happened AFTER that vote!
