Sen. John McCain celebrated locking up the Republican Presidential nomination by getting thumped by the ballot box in most states over the weekend. If ever there was an indication of the lack of support for a nominee, that was it.
The only bright spot was Washington where McCain won by 242 votes. Well he won in a George W. Bush sense of the word. See, according to the Washington Post, they stopped counting with 87 percent of the votes completed. The state Republicans didn't see a problem saying they would go ahead and count the rest of the votes but was certain the totals would hold up.
So Repubican, why bother counting ALL the votes when you can get the result you want by only counting SOME of the votes. Hell, it worked for Bush in 2000 in Florida and now Bush has come out for McCain, saying McCain is a true conservative.
With rigging the Washington election, McCain is on his way to becoming like Bush. The next step may be harder. The only way Bush was able to get close enough to the White House in 2000 was to rely on lying radio, television and newspaper commentators. Today many of those are fighting McCain, leaving McCain to be his own liar.
The question today is whether the right will rally around McCain and join in on the expected series of campaign lies. It is hard to imagine if the Democratic nominee is Sen. Hillary Clinton that right wing radio won't go after her with their lies, its what they live for.
