If he got the nomination I believe he could win. I just don't know if he's got a big enough name to get there or not.

Diplomacy is her job. It's what the SoS is supposed to do.

The poster fell victim to the html gremlins.

Actually, just spoke to the poster. He informed me that he didn't think that it was too hard to read when viewing the preview. Had he felt so, he probably knew just enough HTML to rectify the situation.

"Not someone I'd support even if he has a (R) behind his name."

At this point, the odds are that McCain will not get the Republican nomination. My prediction is that the polls are going to be clear that McCain will not be able to get the Republican nomination. By the same token, I am going to predict the polls are going to show that Hillary can not win the election in spite of the fact that the polls will suggest that no Democrat will be able to defeat her for the nomination. The NYT and other major players will lobby hard to get McCain to switch parties and run in the primaries against Hillary. I am going to bet that the same polls are going to show that if he switches, he will be able to win the Democratic nomination, even though he would not be able to win the Republican nomination. And the polls will show the election to close to call if McCain wins the Democratic nomination regardless of who the Republican nominee turns out to be.

Will McCain take the bait?

O'Connor was on the bench Monday possibly for the last time.

Oh please Lord, let it be. I do not ask this for myself personally.

For you Condi supporters here is a quote of Immanuel Kant:

"A prolonged peace favors the predominance of a more commercial spirit, and with it a debasing self-interest, cowardice, and EFFEMINACY and tends to degrade the character of a nation.”

These supposed bloggers on the right are a bunch of moderate girly men. Afraid of Hillary...thinking only another female - no matter if she is not a true conservative - can save us from Hillary. Their effeminacy is in keeping with the times, our metrosexual times.

Allen or Pence, either one, are the choice of those who are truly on the right. There is more to this than the WOT, what about same sex marriage and abortion? How does Condi stand on it? She is no better than McCain in my book.

I think that is more proof that McCain is a has been even as far as the people are concerned. We all know that he was never supported by the Republican establishment---he was too quirky for them He is better as a senator.

it's telling McCain scores so badly. We know among the core of conservatives he's on the outs, but he can't even score well in "center right" blogs.

I am so pleased about this. McCain won't pay any attention, but the party leaders and contributors will. The MSM is desperate for a McCain/Hillary matchup. Sam Donaldson said on Sunday that he would come out of retirement for it. We know very well that it's not because they want McCain to win.

I'd be proud to vote for Allen or Pence if either gets the nomination (contributed to Alan Keyes in 2000), but what will you do if they dont?

"Seriously, whom would you prefer executing the war on terror and appointing federal judges? Clinton or McCain?"

Neither, McCain is the male clone to Clinton.

Note Allen 3rd behind two people with a minimum 10x the 'name' exposure, and also the absence of Allen on the "Least Desired" list.

And even I have to acknowledge that it was unfair to leave off Pence from the choices. RWN should know better.

Hagel?

Last gasp of the not-quite-exiled Rockefeller wing. Remember when Gergen issued a PR last year that his Harvard class had straw-polled Hagel as the 2008 candidate? Tells you everything you need to know about both of those morons.

Since you contributed to Alan Keyes campaign, conservative on the social issues, what will you do? Especially, if she actually runs and her views on cultural issues are brought out fully into the light of day?

Moral issues come first, in my opinion. Which means I won't be voting for McCain, Guiliani, or Condi (should she get the nomination). On moral issues, there is probably very little difference between these three.

I don't believe McCain would appoint conservative judges. Because of that, I don't care about McCain's pro life voting record as it will have little meaning UNLESS he appoints great judges and signs pro-life legislation. Also, I don't believe that Hillary is a great threat. I would love to see her get the nomination so I can watch her lose. We have many great candidates and remember Bush ran, atleast, as a unapologetic conservative and this is why he was elected. McCain is no conservative . If he does get the nomination, which i say NO WAY, the grassroot people will not be fired up to support him. Hilliary should pray that McCain gets the nomination as most people will not see any difference between them.
McCain nips at Bush's policy on the war every chance he gets. I believe just week-end he said that he believed Bush's policy on wiretaps was illegal and suggested that Bush come to Congress to get permission. He's a joke and Rush will enjoy slapping the guy around. There is alot of fatal mistakes he's made in terms of conservatives. Trust me, conservatives who have worked hard to get true conservatives elected will rally around his defeat for nomination.

McCain is actually better than Bush in one respect: His hatred of pork-barrel spending. McCain would fiscally be an improvement over W.

We can do MUCH better, though!
