Also what do you think of McCain's chances, I think hes a bit passed it all now, maybe ten years ago. |
Bush is a perfect reason not the vote for Democrats, his rise in taxes, increase in spending, waging preemptive war and generally increasing the size of the government are token traits of the Democratic Socialist Party.
George Bush = Democrat!
I think McCain has a great chance, especially if he picks Condi Rice as his VP. Reasons:
(1) Who are the conservative crapping, they are voting for the Republican party. Obama and Clinton represent an increase in socialism and they could potentially pick 3 supreme court justices meaning Homosexual marriage (which I am for) could be Federally protected reality. Same with abortion. Way too much at stake to toss there vote away on the Democrats out of spite or for a 3rd party.
(2) McCain will win the Latino vote meaning he has a great chance at taking CA. He is well respected in within the Latino community and they liked the fact that he proposed the so-called "amnesty bill."
(3) He will get the Jewish vote. Although the Jews are number in 6-8 million nationwide, they represent a large portion of a few Democratic important States. Specially NY, NJ and FL. Jews will probably vote for Clinton, but they might be skeptical of Obama.
(4) McCain will get a large chunk of the independent vote. Face the independent vote won him the nomination
(5) He will get some of the Democratic vote. Many democrats that are more to the middle like him.
(6) If he choose Condi Rice, which I think he will, then he will get some black vote, which would otherwise nearly 100% vote Democratic (especially if/when its Obama).
The war will hurt him no doubt. The war is definitely a plus (I hating stating it that way) for the Democrats. But a lot can happen come November.
