Posted at 5:23pm on Mar. 3, 2008 I've Come Home. McCain 2008!

By PaConservative

Obama's 11th Hour collapse against Her Thighness in Texas and Ohio has proved, I think beyond a shred of a doubt that he is in fact, an empty Suit. Like many young people I thought...well I don't agree with him but he sounds different. Maybe he is?

No, he's a spineless liberal who's afraid to even stand up and say it.

I believe he will still win the Democratic nomination despite impending defeat in Texas/Ohio/Road Island, and soon Pennsylvania.

Posted at 1:31pm on Feb. 25, 2008 PA-10 Club for Growth Endorses Hackett

By PaConservative

http://www.clubforgrowth.org/2008/02/club_pac_endorses_hackett_in_p.php

Chris Hackett is a pure, Toomey-esque conservative running against moderate Democratic Freshman Congressman, Chris Carney. Hackett's primary opponent, Dan Meuser has donated to Hillary Clinton in the past along with other prominent dems.

The race marks another rift amongst Conservatives in Pennsylvania with Pat Toomey's Club for Growth and the Conservative Reform PAC siding with Hackett and more establishment conservative types like former Senator Rick Santorum endorsing Meuser.

Posted at 2:28am on Feb. 20, 2008 Some More Doom and Gloom

By PaConservative

We picked the right candidate!

...for the wrong election.

John McCain was the perfect candidate to run against Hillary.

She's unlikeable, which offset his caustic nature.
She's aging, he's ancient but doesn't look it.
She's an egomaniac, he is too but he hides it better.

He had the experience and is a true American Hero, and I dare say, a true patriot.

But...did you hear the speeches tonight? No...did you HEAR them?

Posted at 1:14pm on Feb. 13, 2008 President Barack Obama: Get Used To Saying It

By PaConservative

Well last night clinched it.

John McCain will be the Republican Presidential Nominee in 2008. That would be fine if Shrillary were going to be the nominee but Hill is very much in the position Huck was in before last night. Not the frontrunner but still with a glimmer of hope. A very faint glimmer. The math is not on her side as was pointed out elsewhere.

Now I encourage you to check out this post (http://www.hedgehogreport.com/?p=7810) at David Wissing's Hedgehog report.

Posted at 3:54pm on Feb. 11, 2008 Stop McCain? Yes We Can!

By PaConservative

Huckabee didn't major in Math and neither do I.

I'm awful at it.

But here are the Delegate Statistics.

In order to avoid a brokered Convention and win the nomination outright, Huckabee would need to win 85% of the remaining Delegates. Ain't gonna happen.

McCain would need to win 44% of the remaining delegates. That could happen.

But then again, Huckabee could also win 56% of the remaining delegates and force a brokered or open convention.

Posted at 1:36pm on Feb. 6, 2008 Conservatives, Stop Your Cliffdiving. There's Still Hope (Part I)

By PaConservative

Who'll Stop McCain?

Huckabee AND Romney.

Yes, the men hate each other. Yes Huckabee likes McCain but Huck also wants to be President.

There are quite a few Delegates to be won. Here's the schedule for the next week (or so...Guam stretches it out).

This Saturday (February 9th)

Kansas- 39 Delegates
Louisiana- 47 Delegates
Washington- 40 Delegates.

It would seem Huckabee would have the edge in Kansas and Louisiana while Romney could and should do well in Washington, which is a Caucus.

Posted at 4:10pm on Jan. 30, 2008 Hazleton Mayor to run for Congress (PA-11)

By PaConservative

"Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta plans to run for Congress this year, parlaying his fight against illegal immigrants into a race against one of the state's most entrenched Democrats...His decision to run is a recruiting coup for state and national Republicans, who have been pressing Barletta to run for the seat for most of the last year. He recently won a third term as mayor of Hazleton in a landslide."

Posted at 5:17pm on Jan. 20, 2008 Ok...that was fast, I'm Back

By PaConservative

...and I couldn't possibly be more apathetic.

That's right, I no longer care about the 2008 Presidential race.

Here's why-

I'm pretty sure McCain will be our nominee. This doesn't make me happy...but it makes me happier than say Flip Mitt as our candidate but not nearly as content as I would be with Huck or Fred.

McCain WILL win this race. He's a solid enough conservative with all the credentials to keep us safe in the GWOT.

Posted at 8:29pm on Jan. 13, 2008 RedState: See you after the Primaries

By PaConservative

The attacks against Governor Huckabee, my chosen candidate, have finally gotten to the point where I can no longer post here.

I will not condone such rediculous claims as "Huckabee spoke at so and so's Church so he must believe what that guy believes..." doesn't cut it for me.

Erick I would have expected better from you.

I've been here for a few years now and there is no better place for Conservative discourse but claims that an original supporter of Ronald Reagan who genuinly values Human life, defends the traditional family, and stands up for Republican Principles is a liberal, anti catholic bigot, John Edwards clone, and now is being equated to Ron Paul, are just too much.

Posted at 3:25pm on Jan. 9, 2008 Huckabee/Colbert 2008 (My Daily Huckawhoring)

By PaConservative

As Alexham kindly pointed out on RedHot, Governor Mike is going to be on the Colbert Report tonight for his fourth time.

In each of his previous 3 appearances, Huckabee jokingly suggested Colbert run as his VP.

I'm not sure he's joking.

The Vice President carries no real job description other than to preside over the Senate. If Stephen Colbert was watching over Senate Procedings, I'd watch CSPAN 2 ever day.

Posted at 1:30am on Jan. 9, 2008 Prediction Time MI, NV, SC

By PaConservative

and yes, I'm predicting a HuckaSweep. I love how that mans name lends itself to all of this.

Romney, McCain, Rudy, and to a lesser extent, Fred split the other votes.

McCain will get a bump but it won't be enough. Romney's gonna dip from double losses opening Michigan and Nevada to The Huck who is currently running in second.

By super tuesday I expect it to be a Rudy vs. Huckabee race (after Huckabee wins Florida).

Posted at 12:23am on Jan. 6, 2008 The Debates According to the Resident HuckaPhile

By PaConservative

Romney lost.

Deal with it.

Actually, when did RedState become RomneyState?

Huckabee won, not on substance (his substance was fine but it's not why he won) but on style. He hit the sweet spot with change, younger voters, and perhaps even peeled off some independents.

As someone with a facebook, here's a fun one. The two biggest "surprises" of the Republican debate were that Romney said Drug Companies weren't the bad guys (hear that? it's the sound of Romney's few independents leaving him) and the second? Huckabee didn't mention religeon. Ol' Mike proved he's more than just a preacherman tonight folks.

Posted at 8:07pm on Jan. 4, 2008 Like Scrappleface.com?

By PaConservative

Rumors are floating around Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, that Scrappleface.com writer Scott Ott may be considering a primary bid against Moderate Republican State Representative Karen Beyer in Pennsylvania's 131st House District.

Representative Beyer is a chief supporter of former Pennsylvania House Speaker John Perzel, architect of the 2005 midnigh Pay Raise that resulted in many state legislators losing in the primary and general elections in 2006.

Posted at 1:28pm on Jan. 4, 2008 Want to Win in November?

By PaConservative

Guess what? The people want Change. Not just Republicans, not just Democrats. There are two, maybe three (serious) candidates of Change. Only ONE is a Republican.

Obama
Edwards
Huckabee

Yes, Huck DOES sound like Edwards sometimes...why? He's "for the people". Not just in rhetoric but in action. People are going to be voting on "financial security" (those of you who watched Laura, Greta, and Susan Ostrich...erm...Estrich last night know what I'm about to say) next year. Only one of our candidates "get's it".
