My prediction on who will win the presidency

<< < (2/10) > >>

AndrE16686:
Obama will be the next US President.

If republicans don't dig McCain, how come he won Florida, a state in which only registered republicans can vote in republican primaries?

On the Dem. side, obviously it's only Hillary or Obama.

On the Rep. side, I think it's safe to say it's down to McCain and Romney.

He won 36% of the republican, primary vote in Florida.  50% of primary dems voted for Hillary.  Primary voters are typically the ones that are 'plugged in' and give a shit, there is nothing about John McCain that will inspire people outside of the 'plugged in' republicans to show up and vote.  So he's got a third of republican voters willing to vote for him, many of the other two thirds will simply sit it out.  Hillary and Barack have an entire movement of people ready and willing to support either of them, and they both actually inspire people that would normally not vote to vote.  Nothing about John McCain is inspiring, and the only people that will vote for him are the people that are truly concerned about politics.  More than half the country couldn't give a fuck less;... so ultimately, the democrat nominee will be much more inspiring and get ordinary people who don't vote to show up and vote democrat.  McCain will get his buddies to show up and that's it.  I'd say 65/35 democrat if McCain is the nominee in the general election.

It's not over yet, though, Romney may pull off a mormon miracle.  If Romney comes out with the gloves off, and pulls some sort of surprise like naming New Gingrich or Fred Thompson as his running mate, THIS WEEK, then he may still be able to turn it around.  If he destroys McCain in the debate tonight, he may turn it around.  If McCain gets cocky (since he is a cocky son of a bitch) and says something stupid, Romney may be able to capitalize.  If things keep going as they're going though, McCain gets the nomination.
