In other words, real Republicans hate him. LOL! He can imagine anything he likes, but that's just the way it is.Isn't he the leading candidate, even among Republicans? It's either McCain or Guiliani, I know that.
Republicans like marquee names, and both of these guys have wide name recognition. That's what it's going to take to beat Hillary Clinton, not some unknown from Congress.

I think McCain has mental problems.
No, seriously.

Would I rather have McCain instead of Hillary? Yes, I would rather be shot than hung. McCain will not be the nominee of the party because he is the Senator from MSM. He has so pandered to the Washington inside crowd and left wing "journalist" he has alienated himself from the base of the party.
Rudy is more a clean slate though his abortion views will cause him trouble. 9/11 and working for Reagan might overcome some of that but not all.
It is a little early to be wondering about nominees and that kind of thing. But if you want to the be the Republican nominee you don't call for an investigation every ten minutes of Republicans and you don't stand with Hillary Clinton on health care. Are you listening John and Newt?
My two cents worth.

Funny: all Repubs I know hate McCain - yet he's always popular in polls.
Are they polling Dems re: Gop candidates ?

Yea! But I do not plan on either happening!

My very liberal brother-in-law told me that if McCain ran, that it would be the first time he would consider voting for a conservative.
I've never laughed in anyone's face before...

I will never under any circumstances vote FOR McCain, ever, no way no how.
And I don't mean I would hold my nose, I mean I would vote dor whoever, and I mean whoever is running against him, even if it were Hitlery, and I hate her guts, but I loath McCain, and consider him the lowest of the low, a spineless jellyfish of a person.

I can live with McCain, but only as a last resort.

Say no to Rudy. He is a bigger RINO than McCain on ALL ISSUES. In addition, Rudy has some very corrupt past associations.
George Allen or Haley Barbour are my choices. If they decide to go with a "moderate" I'd support Romney.

McCain is right that he is the most popular republican...his problem is that he is not popular with REPULICANS...He is the most popular republican with DEMOCRATS...McCain cannot survive a republican primary.
To: Clemenza
It is hard for my to figure on what issue that Romney is to the left of Allen.

Hate to say this but the RINOS have all the name recognition right now. All the conservative names that are thrown around just disappear into thin air when they are mentioned.

Romney has been squishy on the abortion and gun issues, but will develop more backbone during the primary season. He hasn't been a fire breathing gun grabber like Giuliani was and is.

McCain cited polls that show he and ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani are "the two most popular" members of the Republican Party.
Does that mean he shouts Rudy's name when he has sex instead of his own?
