No Surrender

Totals will be updated after Texas and Ohio

Delegate count: McCain has 960/877 of the 1191 needed to secure the nomination.
He must have 231/304 of the remaining 888 /961 or 26%/32%.
In the latest results, McCain has been awarded 73 Unpledged RNC Delegates and 10 of the Washington Delegates that are still in dispute which is why I have two totals, one with the assumptions and one without.

Huckabee and Paul, who is from Texas, the largest prize remaining, need but to garner enough votes to deny the needed Delegates to secure a first round nomination. Then, as in Charleston, once a clear winner isn't produced in the first round, who knows what might happen in round two and beyond. Sounds much more achievable when worded that way.

Please plan on voting in the West Virginia Primary May 13th, don't be disenfranchised by those who would have you believe the race is over. We have 9 additional Delegates that will be elected in May. Vote and let your voice be heard.

Of the States Senator McCain has secured it is worth noting that many are "blue states", such as New York and California which will likely go Democrat in November regardless of the candidates.

There They go Again

"READ MY LIPS"
John McCain is a Real Conservative

Bush delivering the famous line at the 1988 Convention

Bush "41". who many conservatives feel ushered in 8 years of Bill Clinton isn't finished. The former President, who many may remember referred to Ronald Reagan's economic ideas as "Voodoo economics" has proudly jumped on Senator McCain's straight talk express.
