Let's Not Have Any Double Standards Now

After John McCain clinched the Republican nomination, the press and Democrats tracked with glee primaries and caucuses where he beat Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul by a mere 50 points or so. Surely--the reasoning went--if John McCain, the Republican nominee was not collecting nearly all of the vote after having secured the nomination, then one could supposedly deduce that the Republican party was not united behind McCain and he will be doomed in the general election fight as a consequence.
Assume that thinking is correct for a moment. What then does it say about the likely Democratic nominee that he is getting blown out at this late stage by 35 points in the late primaries?
I mean, a 50 point margin might be cutting it close in the eyes of some, but at least McCain won those contests.

You're being so clever with your wordplay that your craft is muddling your message. So perhaps in the morning, you can look over your comment and enumerate your points in plain English.
(The same thing has happened to me sometimes too. The antidote is to remember not to take yourself too seriously.)
The Issue: Time for Solutions // John McCain will put the national interest ahead of partisanship, he will work with anyone who sincerely wants to get this country moving again. If John McCain is elected President, the era of the permanent campaign will end. The era of problem solving will begin.....
The Issue: Partisanship // There are serious issues at stake in this election, and serious differences between the candidates. And we will argue about them, as we should. But it should remain an argument among friends; each of us struggling to hear our conscience, and heed its demands; each of us, despite our differences, united in our great cause, and respectful of the goodness in each other.....
Looks like the work of a cut-and-paste troll.

Gone 2500 years, still not PC.
What do you get to buy with them, anyhow?
Also, I'm not sure McCain needs to worry about people posting his talking points here at RedState, I think that was intended more for liberal blogs. Conservative blogs have all lined up behind the Republican nominee.

What we have here is a Desire to Not Communicate.
Mr. O has lost the middle American Heartland, the Centrist Electorate, the Majority Voters, the Dems very basic core supporters. The tiger he is riding is led by and controlled by the Academics Left, the Wannabes of the Left and the Young voters who listen with only half an ear.
These folks will desert him en masse if he varies on inch from the Left line, the tiger will eat the Dems and their Leftist candidate if he lets go of the reins.
The Dems National Committee now has the box drawn full square.
Hillary has proven she can win the Voting Majority Electorate, when and where it counts, in the General Election.
The Left candidate has lost ALL of the most important primaries and cauces(sic), that point to a win in November.
For the Dems now to admit defeat,to throw Mr. O under the bus is not going to happen. What is even more humiliating, is that they know this, and are still willing to let the defeat in November happen. Hillary will be blamed, as the obstructionist in the early going....

Democrats with a Double Standard? I would never believe it.
The media will tell us next that Hillary won only because Republicans went out and voted for her and its all Rush's fault. Meanwhile the real republicans are out voting for who they really want as pres, Ron Paul. Now in the real world we know this isn't true, but in Media land the true party people want Obama Vs. Paul 2008, the battle for confusion, the rumble in the wasteland that will become America, the battle for the ages 5 through 16.
I can't wait till the media gets the balls to do a story about how a single democratic super delegate has more voting power then FL and MI. Or about how if your not from this country and have a pro-imigration group your super delegate vote is worth more then the votes of 10,000 New Yorkers. The democrats proved they care more about their special groups then about the American people when these Super Delegates are considered better then your average voter. They pander to these groups now, any doubt they'll do the same if they win?
I think Hillary is still in the "I didn't major in math, I majored in miracles" stage. The media did humor Huck at least through TX. The unspoken reason why they pay attention to the Paul votes is because of the stated intention to stink up the convention. At this point it's unclear which direction Hillary is going to go, if she's going to go for one last SNL appearance and bow out or if she's going to be a boil on the butt of the party.
