McCain Won Super Tuesday

Tonight was a great night for the McCain campaign because tonight sealed the deal that John McCain will be the next Republican nominee for President. Tonight is about miracles, because that is the only word that can describe John McCain's comeback from oblivion 6 months ago. I too was worried about McCain in the Summer and was not happy to see a man I so deeply respected become relegated to the back of the line. Well, no more! He is now the Republican standard bearer.

Yes, there was a Tsunami Tuesday and Romney was the one swept out to sea. After spending so many of his own millions to falsely portray himself as the heir to the Reagan revolution, though as Gov. Huckabee noted, the man only reached Conservative puberty at 60, all Romney had to show for tonight were a handful of delegates and states that he once lived in. Romney will now have to dig very deep into his pockets to challenge McCain. What a futile effort when the time now is to come together. I have to say that I doubt very much that Romney is man enough to do just that.

The real losers, besides Romney, are the ultra-conservative talk-radio blow-hards Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and the rest of them. Their power and influence has been shown to be quite puny and they as mere paper tigers. It turns out that their audiences listen to them not for inspiration or instruction, but for entertainment...man, that's gotta hurt. For the first time in almost ten years, I'm going to listen to Rush tomorrow to see if he pops a valve--I wanna be there when he does. Maybe I'll call in and rub McCain's victories like salt into the wound to help things along.

If someone other than McCain was a winner tonight, it has to be Gov. Huckabee. He swept the Southern states. His campaign has been, and he promises it will remain, positive. He is a testament that people can live by the faith and the Word and still be successful. While I admire Huckabee, I do not believe he is the best person for the job--my guy is--but he is a man of honor and an example to future politicians.

I wish I could have been either in DC or AZ to see the returns along with those whom I was proud to work with. For almost a month, I got to work with great people for a cause that can only be termed inspiring. And I only worked as a volunteer for a month while those like Christian, Bo, Mike, Davis, Grissom and others worked like crazed beings for months. Some even became quite unpopular at home because of all of their time on the road. But the hard work paid-off!

What an amazing and...well, life-changing experience my time with the McCain campaign has been. When this is all over, and it will end in November 2008 with McCain's election to the White House, I will miss so very much the campaign and working for victory for a great leader. Anyone reading this, before it's too late, go work for a campaign, for something bigger than yourself and your immediate needs. It will change you. I promise.
