We need to learn where we went wrong in 2008, and see why we're still getting it wrong. Conservatives have no reason to jump on board the Straight Talk Express right now, none. I'm absolutely stunned by the number of people who are doing so, if not fully jumping on board, then at least softening their rhetoric.
It makes no sense for us to do so, Sun-Dub the Strategerist has things absolutely correct, we have no reason to give McCain what he wants right now, we get nothing by doing so, we're better off stringing him along and trying to, God forbid, make concessions to his own side, using the threat of not showing up to polls to get some concessions. I haven't decided what to do, but for those who are willing to eat the turd sandwich, why not try and at least score some condiments?
Beyond that, Sun-Dub the Strategerist also has this right, McCain's speech today is pandering crap, and people are way too willing to accept it. McCain's still got a legion of amnesty supporters and other assorted RINOs around him, when we see Juan Hernandez and a few other shady guys thrown the hell out of of his campaign, that might be a sufficient show of goodwill for us not to dismiss him out of hand. But the willingness of conservatives to accept his bullshit platitudes remind me of the Chinpokomon episode of South Park.

Shouldn't that be "jearous"?

Color me also puzzled. I don't get it. There's nine months to go. It really isn't necessary to unite behind anything right this second, and that guy's the biggest turd sandwich on the menu.
I'm grumpy and sore and the McCainiacs think they can get me on board by taunting me and calling me names.
Thuck fat. I'll be over here sulking. They learn some manners, maybe they can try approaching me again...in a few months.

The reanimated corpse of amnesty is a plank in the new Republican platform ? I can't even get my mind around it yet. I am aghast at the attitude of many of the long-time-conservatives -turned -McCainiacs at AOS and elsewhere who are so willing to cash in principle for "the big win".
It's like the placating address of the father in the Holy Grail wedding scene: "This is supposed to be a...happy occasion! Let's not bicker and argue about 'oo killed 'oo! ".
only it's not funny...Great analysis, nice blog, ++undead/sinistar.

Me too, one speech after years of this guy being a total jackhole isn't gonna do it for me.

The establishment RINO socialism-light wing of the GOP derailed the conservative movement in 1994.
