holywriter: I’ll take your word for it. I want to believe it, but was any law broken?

Jay: Reagan was a conservative. McCain has 20 years in government and a large body of evidence which does not support the idea that everything will turn out “relatively well”.

Frankly though, I’m surprised that those are your words at the success of your preferred candidate.

The issue, as I see it, is the quandary faced by conservatives such as myself: the need to save the country as much as possible, versus the need to save the party so it can be a more powerful and effective part of reclaiming the culture.

In Washington, the Republican party is to a large extent as corrupt and rotten as the Democrats. The difference, the Republican party at least pays lip service to morals, ethics, and standards.

Well, I’m a journalist here in WV and I’m telling you it was a cock block.

I think conservatives felt the same way about Reagan at first, but everything turned out relatively well. The GOP will be fine and any Republican nominee will be that much stronger for going through this process.

Welcome to I, Pandora, HolyWriter.

I’m still looking at what happened out there in WV, and if it is indeed a block as Drudge and others have suggested, that’s really dirty.

I don’t like Romney, but I’m sorry he got cock blocked at GOP convention here in WV.
