in 1992, Buchanan was the leader. This time, there is no leader.

I agree with you and once again, the key is culture war and immigration. McCain will never be forgiven McCain - Kennedy. Fortunately, Peter Brimlow is not yet a prominent force as he was beginning with his Alien Nation in 1995.

I can't see McCain winning and look for, most likely just now, Hillery or Obama to win.

Re: The culture wars. While the left has been effective in painting social conservatives as wanting to "enforce their religion" the right has not been effective in pointing out how the left attempts to enforce their religion. I don't want a "Theocracy", but I also don't like the idea of college students being pulled up before civil rights commissions because they put an ad in the paper for a room mate and don't want to room out with a homosexual.

I have trouble seeing McCain winning, but I also didn't think he'd whip Romney by 70,000 votes in Florida. Nationwide, polls show him beating Hillary. The national press machine hasn't turned on him yet, but I never thought he had a chance at being the nominee.

re: McCain will never be forgiven McCain - Kennedy

How true. And the reason is not just that the bill was a bad bill but even more so the way he handled it. And continues to handle it.

When Romney says he is against abortion, I think it’s because he’s changed his mind about it. When McCain says he would not vote for McCain-Kennedy now, it’s because the politician in him senses it’s not good for his career.

There’s a huge difference in being against something because you feel it’s fundamentally wrong and in being against it because it turned out to be unpopular.

Truth is McCain would pass McCain-Kennedy in an instant if he thought he could. He has not changed his beliefs in the matter, just his vote for now.
