So, John McCain is the Republican Nominee. Whether we like it or not John McCain is the Republican Nominee. I would like to first give credit to Governor Huckabee. Mike Huckabee really ran a wonderful campaign. He remained positive and went out with dignity. Good luck to him in the future. We now have John McCain against whoever the democrat is.
The media seems to be projecting that whoever the Democratic Nominee is; he/she will have the advantage. I don’t buy it. I understand that the Democrats are turning out to the polls in force, but the general election is always another animal.
A Republican Nominee in the general election must do two things, and many times they conflict. He must attract independents and turnout evangelicals. Bush relied more on the latter and McCain will most likely rely on the former. Although an evangelical VP could help.
A Democratic Nominee in the General election must also attract independents and must project hope. Now while Obama does project hope, I don’t think that any candidate will do a great job of attracting Independents. Many would disagree with me, but their records are simply too liberal. Americans do not want to be socialist. This is where Senator McCain has a clear advantage.
We have eight months to see how it plays out. We will see what happens.
