At the Conservative convention known as CPAC last week, McCain almost officially became the nominee for the GOP when leading contender Mitt Romney essentially gave up his bid by "suspending" his campaign. Without Romney in the race, McCain, who probably would have won the nomination regardless, is now nearly officially the nominee for president. THIS NEWS ESSENTIALLY ENDS any real chance of a true conservative on the side of the GOP.
On the DNC side, rumors are emerging that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama may be negotiating some kind of deal to avoid a brokered convention that may end up hurting the party. (See my previous article on this very topic)
So now the question is...will conservatives unhappy with the John McCain choice still come out and vote to prevent Clinton or Obama from winning? I really hope so. Clinton, Obama, or Clinton and Barack Obama would be a terrible thing for this country.
So I am begging conservatives to re-evaluate the situation at hand. The Democratic Party very well might bring Obama and Clinton together...which means conservatives will need to come together....
