1191 STARTS McCAIN’S GENERAL CAMPAIGN EXPANSION
Until he clinches the nomination John McCain’s campaign can’t formally discuss co-opting the Republican National Committee into his general election plan
Look for that to change tonight and the party takeover to begin immediately.
If McCain goes over the top the campaign will move as soon as tomorrow to refocus the RNC on McCain’s candidacy. There is no shortage of emphasis on, or rather against, the democrats – the GOP national party has mountains of opposition research at the ready. The BIGGER task is getting the RNC synched up with McCain.
Unifying conservatives and the GOP is different from taking over the administration of the party apparatus.
The McCain camp will want his people in key positions. The McCainiacs will want to tailor and manage the party message to fit and compliment the candidate’s style and substance.
That is step one. Its starts Wednesday, assuming McCain clinches Tuesday with Oh, TX, VT and RI.
Any talk of McCain making an early VP pick is wrong. While the senator and insiders are happy to discuss prospects and ruminate aloud, all that has been done is to have one aide research the selection process other candidates have used. Nothing more.
They have not even begun seriously considering who will head the search team. They have not begun compiling the long and short lists. They have not discussed who will run the vetting process.
They have months to think it through and will unveil the selection only at the most opportune time possible.
The running mate is a major ace in the hole for presidential candidates and they never want to play them too soon.

FOX – Please get rid of that racist hypocrit Gerald Riviera. I change the channel anytime he comes on. Not sure why you are still giving that clown a platform but he no credibility.
If McCain wins the needed delegates to put him over the top, hopefully it send a signal to Mike Huckabee to get out of the republican primary. It’s time to move on. For Huckabee and his supporters, it’s time to stop waiting for the “miracle” on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave…
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if McCain could choose Condoleeza Rice for VP!!…
I think it is vital that McCain pick a competent woman as his VP. Condoleeza Rice would be perfect, if she is willing to serve. The Republicans need to blunt the media-generated “historical hysteria” over the fact that the Democrats are running a female or an African-American.
Too many voters, unfortunately, think no further than such symbolism, and two white males on the Republican ticket will be portrayed by the media as “Washington politics as usual,” or the “good old boy network.” If race & gender can be removed from the equation, than substantive differences on the issues, of which there are many, can surface.
What do you think of this analysis? I would be delighted with a response!
Sincerely,

I aggree whole heartedly that Condolezza Rice would be an excellent choice to run as John Mc Cain’s VP. But you know the Republicans have many superb candidates who would compliment John’s tenacity and dedication to lead our country in the right direction.
The govenor of Alaska is another good choice from the huge selection in the Republican United Party.We are blessed to have such great Americans, men and women in our party.
God Speed John Mc Cain.

McCain will be the President who puts all those ungreatful sub-humans back where they belong.

Sean Hannity and Hal Turner know how to hate NI*G*Rs. I watch him every night. Sometimes he brings a NI*G*R on his show and rips that blacky a new backside. When will those darkies learn that they will NEVER get anywhere as long as real WHITE Americans are still living here?
