McCain’s Coming Endorsements

This is the closing round. I stated a very long time ago that if Romney and Giuliani let McCain survive to Super Tuesday, that would be his day.

There’s a story out about it, so I suppose I can go ahead and confirm it. It’s true. Senator John McCain will be rolling out endorsements over the next few days. These are convented endorsements that will end Romney’s chances of a comeback and surprisingly eat into Huckabee’s niche.

Senator Chambliss and Senator Isakson, both from Georgia, are confirmed by the Washington Post blog.

According to blog post popular Republican and Governor Sonny Predue, also from Georgia, Governor Bob Riley of Alabama and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour are all on the “wish list.”

What the journalist and readers don’t know: these are all confirmed and coming.

Tomorrow will be California’s very own Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will endorse in the early morning. Stunning. McCain’s lead there will only widen thus working around the odd rules of California’s delegate divvying up rules, ensuring McCain secures the maximum number of delegates on Super Tuesday.

A win in Illinois, New York, Connecticut, California, and New Jersey are inevitable. Huckabee’s base will strongly be affected by these endorsements.

Oh, and heads up: more endorsements are coming up.

I hear we got a surprise in Tennessee on February 2nd, the same day Georgia’s big affair is scheduled.

  1. Zach Says:

    Well this is really my worst nightmare. I cannot believe that McCain is pulling this off. Especially since he is not what the Republicans need right now.

    I mean, look at the list of Romney endorsements —

    Micheal Reagan, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larson, The National Review, Neil Bush, Hartford Courant, Ed Morrissey (CQ’s blog), The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Dr John Wilke (Chair Right to Life), Elizabeth Cheney, “The Hugh Hewitt Show”, The Oakland Press, The Oakland Press, Dennis Hastert, Ross Perot, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter (annoying), Mark Belling, Paul Weyrich (founder Heritage Foundation), Meg Whitman (CEO eBay), the Governors of MO, RI, and NE, 7+ incumbent senators (who DON’T like McCain a fellow Sen) and 38+ incumbent House members.

    There are definitely more House Members, but there are so fricken many that I can’t even count them all.

MySpace gets a Redesign Finally

Finally MySpace works up enough courage to redesign their homepage. Unfortunately there are many UI and functionality flaws. Besides copying facebook on absolutely everything they can (or try) - must they also half-butt their design?

Florida Serves Romney

Apparently only Republicans care about Florida, since Howard Dean and the DNC decided to take all delegates away from Democratic voters..
Last night’s major loss was probably a surprise to the Romney camp. While McCain had the endorsements from Senator Mel Martinez, which frankly came at no surprise, and Governor Charlie Crist, there were several factors […]

Growing Scandals in South Carolina

If you thought the political divide in 2000 was rough, check out the latest happenings of the Republican Primary. For those of you who don’t know. South Carolina was won by President George W. Bush during the race for the Republican nomination and stopped Senator John McCain’s momentum when McCain fell victim of the […]

Senator John McCain in South Carolina

I’ve always had a pleasurable time listening to the McCain articulate his governing strategy and of course a little straight talk. In a blogger’s conference call that seemed dominated by the same Conservative publications that declared his campaign dead several months ago.
The Senator sounded full of energy and unusually excited going to his fourth event […]

Novak and Akbar

Recently I wrote a piece entitled, “Huckabee, Give Me a Break.” Because of my roots in the theological community, and more specifically the Southern Baptist community, I was aware of the political pulse of the largest evangelical group.
Syndicated Columnist and media guru Robert Novak touched on this point earlier today. He’s always precise and very […]

Huckabee, Give Me a Break

We seriously might be the more fickle party of the two. Right when it looks like we might, just might, have a fighting chance we are told to support someone else. Gov. Mike Huckabee is likeable. Sure. So?
Let’s take a look a Huckabee.
As a Conservative he has a troubled record. As a Governor he was […]

The speculation has plagued my email inbox and sometimes the Internet Radio shows that I’m honored to be a guest on. Actually, I’ll […]

A War Worth Fighting

Recently I wrote an article entitled, A Republican Need. I received an encouraging comment telling me that I sent out a “call to arms.” I was moved and proud.
Now, just one day later I write with the same passion and a greater resolve. I’m calling all to arms!
McCain and I once discussed Internet Taxation and […]

A Republican Need

Get focused.
If you’re entrenched in the data and polls as much as I am - you’d be concerned. After reading about Obama’s $32.5 million quarter rake in, I think I’ll finally announce my thoughts against the advice of many close Republican friends.

It may be early to tell the nominations, however it’s not too early to […]
