John McCain's former stature as the man to beat has slipped because of his support for more troops in Iraq.

Well, if that's what the author wants to believe, I suppose it's okay...

Being the subject of a recall movement in your own state should count for something, though.

From the piece you posted:

"Whether or not he possesses the desire, money and organization to capture the nomination and then the White House against odds that at this stage clearly favor whoever wins the Democratic nod is another question."

This is clearly the conventional wisdom in the MSM- the libs will take POTUS in 08.

Unbelievable, isn't it?

Run, Fred, RUN!!!

The writer sounded sane right up to this sentence.

BS. McCain's stature has slipped because he is a raving lunatic that co-sponsored the CFR restrictions on free speech, colluded with the democrats and his "gang of 14" to keep judicial filibusters in place, and undermined W's initiatives from tax cuts to private social security investment accounts at every opportunity. In terms of the GOP nomination, supporting more troops in Iraq in an effort to ensure and achieve victory is about the only positive thing you can say about him.

Part of the equation may be the "Hagel factor." Nebraska Sen. Charles Hagel, a Vietnam veteran who is a hard nosed opponent of the Iraq policy and often mentioned as a potentially viable alternative for Republican moderates. He still hadn't made up his mind.

Hagel is a non-starter that might not even be able to win the GOP primary for his own senate seat if he were up for reelection.
