Exactly correct.

Many a Democrat also threatened to move out of the U.S. when Bush was elected not to mention pouting when the votes don't go their way.

Lets not forget that voter fraud is brought up only when Republicans win. It's funny that almost all voter fraud cases are Democrats.

She could have responded with "all things being relative Corky, if conservatives are acting like 3 year olds, Liberals are acting like a bunch of retards"...then kicked him in the nuts.

Oh yea just wait. All these liberal boobs that have been bowing to McCain for years will, once the Democrat nominee is in place, begin to rip him for every word he utters. And of course the good liberals that they are, they'll deny it, same as they denied their votes and opinions on Iraq in late 2002/early 2003.

And, of course, Kristol had to steal that 13-year-old comparison from the embittered newsdesk jockey Peter Jennings.  And this is how the McCain Campaign and the Weekly Standard types think they're going to consolidate conservative support before the general election.  Looks like they've got their work cut out for them. 

PS,

I don't think it's petulance at all.  In retrospect, I think this result was highly orchestrated.  For months, all the media coverage was dedicated to Romney, Giuliani and Fred Thompson.  But the media coverage was overwhelmingly negative.  Meanwhile, McCain and Huckabee were hiding out in the tall grass, generating virtually no media coverage (and, in this case, no publicity was better than bad publicity).  As the campaign approached Iowa, all of the focus shifted to Huckabee vs. Romney.  Huckabee fired the first shot by cheaply arousing prejudicial suspicion on Romney's religion.  No one talked about Thompson anymore because the press had succeeded in its "lazy candidate" hatchet job.  No one talked about Rudy because he inexplicably laid out until Florida.  So Romney was left to take all the hits.  Then McCain managed to steal New Hampshire and South Carolina using the "open" primary set up to drag Independents and Democrats over to boost his numbers.  By then, his toadies at the Weekly Standard and New York Times were picking fights with talk radio, Huckabee was pandering to single-issue "conservatives" to weaken Thompson and Romney, and McCain was getting a hell of a lot of flattering free airtime with Russert and his ilk (in-kind donations that his partnership with Russ Feingold conveniently failed to address).  Then McCain colluded with Huckabee to take out Romney in West Virginia and the inevitable snowball caught its downhill momentum...eliminating Romney in the process.  Now, after McCain, Huckabee and his media pals pulled off the heist of the decade, McCain's followers expect those of us who didn't even have a chance to vote in the primaries until it was too late to simply accept this non-violent coup as if it was based on the will of the people...and to rally behind his candidacy as if we mean it.  Well, PS, Trent Lott famously referred to his job in the Senate as "Herding Cats"...getting divergent personalities to sacrifice some of their principles for the greater good.  This is a classic legislator's tactic.  Problem for McCain is that he and his apologists look at us as if we should be easy to herd...as if we were cattle or sheep.  If he looked at us like cats, he would realize that like cats, we don't easily trust people (especially people who have done wrong by us before), we're independent thinkers, we don't take orders and we don't follow anyone unless we're given good reason to.  McCain has a few months to figure that out.    

You won't be catching he** with me.There are certain people on these blogs that almost seem to be threatening anyone that is voting for McCain. As IF we are not allowed to speak or think for ourselves.Some people choose to stay silent instead of being drug threw the dirt from hard core DEM's and hard core REP's. The hard core is what will rag at you and possibly shot you only in the back and hang you on the court house steps. I have yet to see any PERFECT candidate out of all 3 that still has a chance.AS a matter of fact,before ALL of the garbage came out I didn't know there was such a thing as the PERFECT candidate. I would have liked to have had more info on John Edwards but since he Seemed so normal, I guess that had to be a bad thing as well.WHO the heck we will get in 4 years from now,I can only imagine.Just so I'm not misleading anyone I am voting for McCain.Now I am only 1 person,with 1 voice and 1 vote.I suspect that for all the hard core people out there that wants to harm me because of it,you will have a much tougher way to go when trying to decrease the population and do away with all of the people that are chosing to go with McCain. Anybody that knows anything KNOWS that all politicians mess up at some point in their lives or WILL as that is a part of growing up and sometimes learning the hard way.Prairie skys, I already know who is after your behind,they do this to me as well.WE all think we are so darned important and holier than thou that we can't see straight.(lol) TOO MANY people counted on Romney or Huckabee to be our lord and saviour and haven't taken  the time to look at who is the least evil of the 3 that are still running.I live in a county that almost always eveyone votes Democrat but not me,not this time and maybe never again. They are having their own fun picking each other apart between Clinton and Obama.At the very least we should hang with our chosen party,instead of acting like a baby or a brat. I do think that the Dems will take it this year but I don't have to get down and kiss their bu** IF they do get in.I AM STILL VOTING FOR McCAIN.   

I agree! Russert's contention that people vote for Repubs only because of their winning personalities is total bunk! I guess he has forgotten about Richard Nixon...what a warm and fuzzy guy he was, huh??? This is more typical lefty crap...Repubs are all dim bulb buffoons, and the Dems are all brilliant.
