Thats not counting the beat up evangelecals who have been complely left out of the process this year. I guess it doesnt matter. I dont think McCain can win as the Nominee anyway. Could you imagine McCain even having enough energy to run your local Mcdonalds. Seriously. Think about it next time your in line watching the Mcdonalds manager run around taking orders and shouting orders. McCain couldnt do it. So I ask You, how will McCain be president??? Looks as though the RNC got behind the wrong candidate and they will pay for it., Guess they should of let the primary season play out without trying to minupulate the outcome.. Good news is i think McCain is just about done, I wouldnt doubt the GOP ditch him at the last second and run a younger more charasmatic charachter. Did you see him knock all that stuff off the shelf at the supermarket. the video is at &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.mccanes.com"&gt;http://www.mccanes.com&lt;/a&gt; all the while barack obama is looking like an NBA super star, (arrogence and all) even taking time to stop and have a cigar break video at &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.theobamaplan.com"&gt;http://www.theobamaplan.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Why does the Republican Party want off shore drilling? &amp;nbsp;Could it be, because shipping overseas would be cheaper for the big oil companys and the Big Oil Men in the Whitehouse.. &amp;nbsp;Are we going to be brainwash into believing it would help us? &amp;nbsp;Last month we were told by Fox news that China and Cuba were having talks about drilling off the shores of Florda. &amp;nbsp;This message was supose to have came from the Whitehouse Press Core. &amp;nbsp;VP Channey later admitted it was fause. &amp;nbsp;Why was this statement put out? &amp;nbsp;Maybe , so we would allow off-shore drill on our beautiful shores.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;MaCain's camp says it is neccessary to drill and there are new ways to prevent spills. &amp;nbsp;I would like to know how to prevent accidents with oil spills, like the one that happen this last week in the Mississippi River with this new tecnodgle. &lt;/p&gt;
