It’s likely the Republican North Carolinians withheld their votes from John McCain to let him know they expect more from him than the continual left-leaning stances and Democrat alliances he has given Americans while he’s been in the House and Senate.
Of course, they don’t know him as well as we do. We like him even less, since we know him better.
Were he to address the mega-message, it would serve him well with conservatives. However, his extreme arrogance will not allow that. Instead he will be responsible for giving us a President Obama–who is even worse than John McCain.

Wow! Very interesting. Why hasn’t this gotten broader coverage?

I wonder if this has anything to do with the call I received yesterday trying to ferret out if I (a GOP state delegate) am in McCain’s camp. I was asked a series of questions. The final one wanted to know who I supported in the primary.
Makes me think the McCain people are getting a bit jumpy. The events at the state convention in Reno must have given them a good case of heartburn. Obviously, he doesn’t want to be Al Gore the Second and lose in his own home state.

Catching On: The call had EVERYTHING to do with McCain’s anxiety. I received one also and so did some of the other PC’s I stay in contact with. McCain is playing for high stakes and the rest of us are exceedingly expendable.
In fact, I lied and said I supported McCain, when I actually was a Romney supporter. I asked who was conducting the poll before I answered the three questions. Once I knew it was McCain, I figured I could treat him with the same back of the hand that he gives us.

Ha! Several of us were evidently thinking alike. I also answered the question regarding who I supported by enthusiastically saying, “Sen. John McCain!”
In truth, I supported Duncan Hunter and then Fred Thompson. I’m a lifelong Phoenix resident. How could I support John McCain?

Good for those North Carolina voters! The question is, did he get the message?
John McCain is better than Barack Obama, but what a sad choice we are given. He must realize how disgusted many of us are.
I’m tired of this. Bush I, Bob Dole, Bush II, John McAmnesty. Is this the best our country has to offer? And now the AZ GOP is putting the screws to us. I’m also a precinct committeeman. The only thing that has convinced me to travel to the state meeting is my anger at being manipulated.

The folks in NC did a great job by withholding votes from John McCain. If their actions make him think, then their efforts will not have been in vain. I just don’t hold out any hope for an epiphany on his part.

You can take it to the bank that McCain doesn’t care about or ‘get’ messages. He just doesn’t want to be embarrassed. That’s why the calls are being made to state delegates. Funny that a couple of previous commenters acknowledged they were less than truthful about where their support was placed. I wonder how many of us did the same thing? The McCainiacs might be very surprised by the lack of support for their candidate on Saturday.

What dolts you conservatives are. I keep telling you, it is all over. Your only choice now is between three liberals. Soon it will be between two liberals, and you can’t do a thing about it. What a hoot! I love John McCain and his MSM. And now you are being told that you must unite behind McCain’s Unity Slate at the State Convention. I love it. You must do the last thing on earth that you thought you would be doing. You loath it, but you are going to do it! We got you. Check Mate!

John McCain is not interested in either getting messages or appeasing conservatives. He’s a longtime and unrepentant liberal who, I regret to say, is intent on destroying the Republican party.

I’ve been hearing all day that the McCain people are circling the wagons and leaving longtime Republican grassroots activists out in the cold. Rumor is the state convention this weekend is taking on the appearance of an armed camp. Yesterday’s phone calls to state delegates are part and parcel of determining who is friend and who is foe. If you are in the foe column, you’d be more welcomed if you had a communicable disease.

3 Top Questions you can’t ask in polite company. 1. Why is the unity slate the biggest secret ever cooked up in Arizona? 2. In past Arizona conventions, did State Headquarters withhold the list of State Delegates from the State Delegates? Were statewide delegates restricted to receiving CD ballots from their own CD and no others?

How does a May 10 voter who likes to pick National Convention Delegates with the knowledge of the home Congressional District of the candidate determine what the home CD is for that candidate? We only vote our own CD Ballot. And then we vote on the At Large Ballot. Once we get to the At Large ballot, how can we know what the home CD’s of the various At Large Candidates are? What’s to hide regarding the home CD of National Delegate hopefuls?

I talked to a Congressional District Caucus Chairman today. This person told me I could not have the CD Ballot from that District because instructions are to only share the CD ballot with people requesting it from their own CD! So, everybody request a CD ballot from your own CD Chairman.
AND THEN POST IT ON SEEINGREDAZ.COM.
Or maybe that would be a little too unsporting. So, just blind copy it to everybody in your address book that is in a different Congressional District.

This ol’ houndog don’t speak real clear sometimes so, let’s try question #3 again.
Were statewide delegates restricted to receiving the CD ballot NAMES fron thier own CD only? Of course we are only going to get one ballot and that is from our own CD. No problem there. Was it taboo for State Convention delegates to have the various Congressional District ballot names in order to know the Congressional District that a National Delegate candidate resides in, in advance of the State Convention?
