Cinderella Man

The MSM wants us to think that it’s over and that McCandidate is inevitable. They are wrong.
I went phone banking this evening. Out of the 12 people I actually got on the phone, 7 supported or were leaning toward Mitt, 4 liked McCain, and 1 was undecided. I had a great conversation with one gentleman and I think that my call gave him some new information that helped him lean Mitt.
This isn’t over no matter what the MSM wants us to believe. No matter how badly they want McCandidate to be our nominee.
It reminds me of Cinderella Man. They thought he was finished as well…until he won the heavy weight championship title.
Roll up your sleeves. Believe. We can do this.

John Kerry: “McCain Approached Me About Joining Dem Ticket in 2004”
“Talked to Tom Daschle about jumping the isle and becoming a Democrat”
Jonathan Singer: “On Monday afternoon I had the chance to speak with Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, the Democratic Party’s nominee for President in 2004. During the interview, which covers a range of topics and which I will be posting later this afternoon, an item of particular interest jumped out at me: According to Sen. Kerry, it was John McCain’s staff who approached his campaign about potentially filling the Vice President slot on the Democratic ticket in 2004.”
Jonathan Singer: “There’s a story in The Hill, I think on Tuesday, by Bob Cusack on the front page of the paper talking about how John McCain’s people — John Weaver — had approached Tom Daschle and a New York Congressman, I don’t remember his name, about switching parties. And I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about what your discussions were with him in 2004, how far it went, who approached whom… if there was any “there” there.”
John Kerry: “I don’t know all the details of it. I know that Tom, from a conversation with him, was in conversation with a number of Republicans back then. It doesn’t surprise me completely because his people similarly approached me to engage in a discussion about his potentially being on the ticket as Vice President.”
Singer: “Okay. And just to confirm, you said it, but this is something they approached you rather than…”
Kerry: “Absolutely correct. John Weaver of his shop…” [JK answers phone]
For many Republicans, it has been bad enough that John McCain has voted and worked with Democrats against the majority of Republican Senators on a number of occasions in recent years. For Republicans, I would imagine that reports that he approached the Democrats about leaving the Senate GOP caucus in 2001 represent a borderline unpardonable offense. But it seems that reaching out to the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee to talk about running on that party’s ticket would be tantamount to the highest form of political treason to Republicans.

I just did another carpet bombing of the above story…but it’s midnight and I gotta get sleep. My 1.5 hr commute here in SoCal comes awfully early and I’ll need to enjoy it before McCain’s Cap & Trade makes gas prices even worse.

It is incredible, if you think about it that we are about to nominate to lead our party, John Kerry’s first choice as his VP candidate from 4 years ago. And if McCain picks Joe Lieberman as his VP, as I have heard rumors, then we will have in our ticket the democrats VP chosen candidates from the last 2 election cycles.
It is as Rush has said recently in his radio show, we are becoming the minor leagues of the democratic party.
