"...something tells me McCain WILL be the GOP candidate in 2008."

Sorry, but there's no evidence for that. He got his a$$ handed to him by Bush in 2000, and I certainly don't consider Bush the best candidate possible.

Nope, McCain won't be nominated for the same reason Lieberman wasn't nominated for the Democrats last time - no appeal for the party's base, who to a great extent determine the party's nominee.

Well, obviously there's no evidence of what's going to be in the future. I'm making a prediction based on my gut feeling. I think that the party RINO's, and there's a solid chunk of them, will coalesce around McCain, especially the over 50 crowd.

I agree. I'm still waiting for all the McCain supporters on this site to come out of the woodwork...zzz...zzz...still waiting...zzz...

Since I don't see any, exactly who is going to finance him and vote for him in the Primaries. About the only possibility that I can come up with is a plan by the Dems to hijack our Primaries (much like they tried in 2000 with McCain) - but they've got their own Primaries to worry about in 2008, so I don't see that happening.

If the response on this thread is representative of the Republican base (which, of course, it is), then McCain is DOA.
