MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

John McCain winning back Reagan Democrats and “unhappy Republicans”

First, the Democrats. Check this out, and file it away in your dossiers for the general election, kids. I told you this might happen. ;-P

Don’t go counting those votes yet, though–there are still seven arduous months left in this fight. Still, unless Hillary’s got some extremely well-trained supporters simply issuing idle threats, this looks promising. On all counts, McCain is so far beyond Obama in qualifications and fitness for the job it’s almost comical, and I think by November it’ll be clear to a lot more people. Teh Obamessiah’s halo is starting to lose some of its luster–finally. The more you know, the less there is to like.

Now, for the Republicans. The “unhappy Republicans” have always been a question mark, and there are still plenty of them out there, to be sure. I can’t imagine, though, that people like Ann Coulter are going to allow this crypto-Marxist latte liberal Obama win. But here’s what they’re saying at Real Clear Politics:

Among the unhappy Bush supporters whom McCain has lured back to his campaign, about half say they are conservative, yet their views on issues are more moderate than many in the party, with some opposing the war in Iraq. They have favorable but not intensely enthusiastic views of McCain — for example, two-thirds find him likeable while far fewer find him compassionate or refreshing.

“He’s known, he’s a veteran,” said David Tucker, a retired Air Force technician from Alexandria, La., and Bush voter who was undecided last November but has ruled out Obama and Clinton. “I understand him better.”

Note that these are unhappy Bush voters–the issue of the Coulter/Limbaugh wing wasn’t addressed in the article. I’m personally optimistic on that front, though.

Meanwhile, SurveyUSA has a fresh set of general election polls today, and the trends don’t look good for Snobama.

That said, the Obama machine is still racking up the donations (get a load of this whiny plea!), and we’ve all heard about the 527s planning on a $40 million-plus attack on McCain. It will be impossible to get our message out in the face of such an onslaught if we can’t raise some money, and the voting public has a short memory. Will they remember Jeremiah Wright or the “clingy” churchgoers and gun-owners in November? Or will they have been brainwashed into believing the Left’s lies that McCain is “too old” or “doesn’t know anything about the economy” (dumbest libfail meme ever) or that he’ll be a “Bush third term?” That’s all absurd, but it’s what the left is planning on using against John McCain, and you know how fond they are of Goebbels’ tactic of repeating a bald-faced lies until they become “truthy.” All you have to do is think about the last eight years of relentless attacks on Bush and all other Republicans.

Come on, you don’t want the candidate of Hamas, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, MoveOn, Media Matters, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, and every other anti-American figure on the planet to be President of the United States, do you? We can see already that John McCain can win, but like I said, we’ve got seven months to go. Donate, and stop Obama.
