A lot has been made of what will happen to the so-called "Reagan Coalition" if certain candidates become the Republican nominee.  If Rudy wins (highly unlikely at this point), will Conservative Christians bolt?  If McCain wins (ugh), will Conservatives bolt?  If Huckabee wins, will economic conservatives bolt?  If Romney wins, will national security conservatives bolt?

And it is true-- there is GREAT risk in the Republican process, but there ALWAYS is, because the Republican Party is not nearly as homogeneous as the Drive By Media wants people to think.  The different factions in the Party are constantly at each other's throats, working out the tensions between varying degrees of right-of-center policies and politics. 

But I think the more interesting debate is over in the Democrat Party, which has built its own coalition of special interests not based on policy prescriptions and ideas, but on identity politics: who you are, what you are, and what you do.  And that "who you are" focus, based largely on race, has the potential to really rip the Dems apart this year.

Bill Clinton -- America's so-called "First Black President" -- continues the racialism of the Clintonian Juggernaut.  Thanks to Jake Tapper over at Political Punch, we know what he had to say after Barak Obama's victory in South Carolina tonight:

Said Bill Clinton today in Columbia, SC: "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88. Jackson ran a good campaign.  And Obama ran a good campaign here."

This was in response to a question about Obama saying it "took two people to beat him." Jackson had not been mentioned.

Boy, I can't understand why anyone would think the Clintons are running a race-baiting campaign to paint Obama as "the black candidate."

I've said it before (here and here), and I will say it again:  Bill and Hillary Clinton are racialists.  They use race to divide, as a wedge issue.  The introduce it to gain a political advantage.  They harp on it, the prey it on it.  They use it for their own advantage, not to lift up.  Not to draw parallels.

This just in from Hell:  Satan Called, and said D.C. Stephenson was partying hard.

This just in from Atlanta:  Earthquake hits city.  National Geological Survey believes it is from high-velocity of revolutions of Martin Luther King rolling in his grave.

John McCain has started a brand new attack against Mitt Romney, claiming he was for timetables before he was against them.  It's a pretty egregious lie when you look at what McCain said and what Romney really said.

For a man so concerned about personal "honor", you would think he might come up with a better angle of attack, or at least "choose Zone 5 and extend and escape"*.

Michelle Malkin has all the details here.

* Can you name the movie this quote is from?

Every John McCain fan you can put on TV loves to brag about how John McCain is the best Commander-in-Chief candidate in the field, based on his experience as a US Naval Aviator. With a war going on, that might be a good thing to consider when looking at Presidential Candidate.

So I did some digging on his military record.  I mean, we all know about his heroic stand as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese.  But he was in the Navy before-- and after -- his torture at the hands of the NVA.  What does his record contain there, and does it give any insight to what type of CIC he might be?

John McCain believes in complete and total amnesty for illegal aliens.  I don't care what he says, because we all know that politicians lie.  And powerful politicians lie powerfully.  I am more interested in his actions, and with the endorsement of amnesty-loving Florida Governor Charlie Crist, the amnesty argument should move front and center for "Reasons to Not Only Vote Against, But to Despise John McCain".

Well, the Flooding the Zone strategy of the Clintons worked,  They successfully dubbed Barack Obama the "Black Candidate".  As a result, he got 80% of the black vote, and less than 25% of the white vote.

Flooding the zone used to be only a strategy in football... when the defense is playing a zone, you flood the zone with receivers to catch the gaps.

But the Clintons -- strategic masterminds of cynical politics if there ever were some -- have now started to apply it to Presidential Politics, and they are doing it with outstanding effect.

Two bills -- one in the Senate and one in the House of Delegates -- have been introduced to legalize gay marriage in Maryland, guaranteeing a contentious fight on the floors of both houses.  There are over 40 sponsors -- almost 25% -- in the House, and nine in the Senate.

Personally, I think this argument will generate much more heat than light.  But even more, I think it is a waste of time.

Apparently, the New York Times has endorsed John McCain.  I wouldn't know definitively, since I refuse to read -- even online -- that horrific piece of liberal facist garbage.

If this is the case, it is NOT good for John McCain.
