Senator Goldwater arguably started the success of the modern Republican conservative movement despite his landslide loss to Lyndon Johnson in 1964, bringing in such future stars as Ronald Reagan.

It would only be appropriate for another conservative Republican Senator from Arizona to close the book on this failed movement by losing in a landslide to Barack Obama in 2008.

Oh, it really happened. The campaign staff has admitted it occurred.

I was a regular reader of Maury Maverick, Jr. when I lived in San Antonio. It’s about time one of the real Mavericks called McCain out on this. He was about as liberal as you could get away with writing for a San Antonio newspaper.

Have you heard Sarah Palin’s phone call where she gets punk’d by a Canadian radio team. Is this for real?

ouch

the REAL Mavericks have spoken:

“John McCain on a few occasions has shown that he can go against his party, but how hard is that when his party has been wrong on so many things as we now see,” she continued. “But he has a brand. And Palin, I’m not sure she even knows the history of the word of or my family, but one thing is clear to all of my family, she truly is not a Maverick.”

linkage buuuuuuddddddy

We have the same issue here in Arizona; most everybody is from somewhere else. Very few of us longtime natives left in relative population terms. That trend had already started when McCain plopped his carpetbag down in 1980, but it was not exacerbated like it is now. We are just as bad, probably worse, than California now.

But, go figure, McCain relied on the freaking “war hero” and the “only real home I have had is the Hanoi Hilton” (yes, he really has been cynically and shamelessly peddling that crap the entire time from the start) and he had a massive funding advantage from the Hensley family and their friends (including Keating) and he won a very competitive three way primary. The primary was the election in his first House race, because it was a hugely GOP district, but he did not win the primary all that easily. Once he was in though, he has just kept sailing on the same “I am John McCain war hero” BS ever since. Until now.
