Ingram EXCLUSIVE: Dobson Won't Vote McCain
Here's a great quote from Senator Thad Cochrane:
"The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine," Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), also a senior member of the Appropriations panel, told the Boston Globe recently. "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."
Many more McConservative McConniptions below the fold...
Rush: Only Pro-Choice voters support McCain
Romney knee-caps McCain lovin' Bob Dole
Coulter isn't kiddin': She'll campaign for Hillary... McCain "has no honor". "I would vote for the Devil over John McCain". Then she predicts 30 years of Democratic Governance!
Pat Buchannan paints McCain as the Conservatives' 'nemesis'
Mimicking the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann," McCain has joked about "Bomb, bomb, bomb-bomb, bomb Iran" and urged the expulsion of Russia from the G-8. He wants to expand NATO to bring in Georgia and the Ukraine. This could mean confrontation between Russia and the United States over whether South Ossetia and Abkhazia should be free of Georgia or ruled by Tbilisi, a matter of zero vital interest to this country.We are forewarned. John McCain intends to be a war president.
Where Bush has lately cleansed his administration of neocons, McCain offers the last best hope for a neocon return and restoration and more wars in the Middle East. And if, as seems probable, Bibi Netanyahu again becomes prime minister of Israel, he and a President McCain will find a pretext for war on Iran.
Year 2008 may prove a defining one for conservatives. For on many of the great issues, McCain has sided as often with the Left and the Big Media as he has with the Right.
Where Bush has been at his best, cutting taxes and nominating conservative judges, McCain has been his nemesis. Not only did he vote twice against the Bush tax cuts, McCain colluded to sell out the most conservative of Bush's judges
'Bloody' Bill Kristol has a nice rundown of what he's called "Dyspepsia" and "McCain Derangement Syndrome", but the real humor is that he's deranged enough to call right-wing talking-heads "reserved". HILLARIOUS!!!
The prospect of John McCain as the likely Republican presidential nominee has produced a squall of anger on the right. Normally reserved columnists and usually ebullient talk-radio hosts vie to express their disgust with McCain, and their disdain for the Republicans who are about to nominate him. The conservative movement as a whole appears disgruntled and dyspeptic.
ONE LAST THING...
Oh, and by the way, was it just me or did anyone else see "There Will Be Blood" as a Corpo-Con v. Theo-Con psycho-drama? It woulda been fun to sit in a theater with Mike Huckabee and Dick Cheney watching that film, just to see their reactions, especially after the "Back of the Bus" theme Huckabee's been pushing lately. I can just see Cheney's glee and Huckabee's horror at the last scene. Bloody indeed.

Polls of the eve of New Hampshire were significantly off, as were polls on the eve of South Carolina.
And New England was favored by how many?
I'm not saying ignore these polls, but they area snapshot of where the electorate is today. Their predictive value is not all that significant.
Obama, on the other hand, polls as well as McCain with Independents. But, all that could change...
I will say that Bush's 2004 win was, in large part, a "base" win, something McCain will have trouble with..
But some projections due in a few minutes.
