It is becoming increasingly obvious that McCain can't win the GE. He needs to drop out now

[KamaAina]

for the good of the country, and indeed, of all life on Earth.

[mmonk]

1. I'll second that.

[Muttocracy]

2. OK with me! nt

[democrattotheend]

3. I think we can all agree on that one!

[KamaAina]

5. Let's hope so...

I keep hearing stories about how some Dems are supposedly going to throw their votes to McSatan if their candidate doesn't get the nomination. :scared: :scared: :scared:

edit: "some"

[Kittycat]

4. I rec this thread!

[AllentownJake]

6. I want Mittens on the ticket

watching that guy concede gives me happy thoughts.

[SoonerPride]

7. ***BREAKING*** McCain endorses Obama!!

Then Liebermann whispers in his ear and tells him to retract his last remark.

[BadgerKid]

9. LOL n/t

[rocktivity]

8. Oh, no, you don't! I've got six months' worth of "hating on McCain" pending

which has had to take a back seat for the Dem nomination. Don't you DARE cheat me out of it now!

gracefully.

[TragedyandHope]

13. K&R #10...McCain will be thinking about this now that 3X them Pubs lost in special Elections

incicating...he is the McLamb of Publicans Sacrifice....

He is wasting time and energy the farmers can use to grow foods...he should do as you say and drop out...NOW

[anonymous171]

14. Yep. Ron Paul's super silent majority will make sure of that.

[quakerboy]

15. AMEN

He has gotten, what, half the number of votes in the primaries that either Barack or Hillary have recieved?

[Cha]

16. Yeah, that sounds as

realist as that other thread that calls for the leader, Obama, to drop out 'cause they just can't stand the thought of Obama winning.

[KamaAina]

18. Psssst...

it's what we Lounge Lizards call a "copycat" of that thread. The technique is seldom employed outside the friendly confines of the Lounge, but I thought the particular thread you refer to was just begging (groveling?) for one.

Aloha! :hi:

[Cha]

21. I knew it was and appreciated it immediately...was

I being too "dry"? :hi: Aloha, KamaAina

[Elspeth]

17. He still polls higher than Barack

So I imagine the math will keep him in the race.

[Zhade]

19. Indeed!

NT!

[anonymous171]
