Choose to survive: McCain

So, it seems the Republicans are not purposely trying to isolate their base by choosing McCain. The statistical data presented since the "rallying" around that particular candidate seems to show they are instead just trying to survive.

As one would expect, Huckabee, although the best choice for President, can expect no more than 5% of the Democrat vote. Since Republicans assume they have the lions share of the Republican vote, they must now look to the Democrats for the rest of their votes. Unfortunately, many Conservatives have a hard time stomaching McCain as their candidate, so write-in votes for Huckabee, Thompson, and Ron Paul are rumored everywhere.

In any case, McCain seems to have some draw among the McCain Democrats. This draw can supposedly get into the 30% of the Democrat voters if they are as unhappy with their partys candidate as we are with McCain. This is a strategic move to get most of the Republican votes while also pulling in a large chunk of the Independent and Democrat votes.

The second part of this puzzle supposedly depends upon who wins the Democratic nomination. If it is Obama, rumors are that Romney will be the Republican choice, as he will somehow run better against that opponent. However, if Hillary is chosen, then McCain will be the guy.

The only saving grace is that Huckabee is best choice for VP if McCain happens to take the Nomination. He's pretty old. Although I would rather have Huckabee head the ticket, it does make sense that he would have a much tougher time of beating the entire Democrat ticket. America doesn't like hard choices, so America avoids conservatives.

Welcome to the roller coaster, let the ride begin.
