But while the four-term senator is thought of highly across party and ideological lines, Gallup found a potential weak spot among conservatives - a key constituency to prevailing in Republican primaries.

I noticed that 50 percent number they threw into that 'approval' number didn't say what kind of people are doing the approving. He must be a little desperate, however, to jump onto the Intel Design band wagon ... it is a good sign, but he kind of nullifies it w/ his almost tepid endorsement of Cindy Sheehan and Global Warming. Tsk. Tsk. Oh yes, one other thing...

I had no idea he believed he was more populuar than the President, G. W. Bush. He really does have a good-sized 'ego'....

[Gipper08]

No to McCain,no to Rudy,No to ANYONE not to the right of president Bush.Yes to the next Reagan,MIKE PENCE!

[Borges]

If Mccain and Guliani ran as a single ticket (take yer pick who runs as Pres and who runs as VEEP) that would be something.

[lormand]

Most popular by Don Imus maybe, but then again, WTF is Don Imus?

[Mr. Mojo]

Most popular with folks on the other side of the aisle, that is.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

In other words, real Republicans hate him. LOL! He can imagine anything he likes, but that's just the way it is. His ego on the matter will be his downfall.

[boomop1]

McLaim is a moron, he is a back stabber like clintoon, never trust him to do anything but stick his finger in the air and proceed.

[hombre_sincero]

he & rudy?

A RINO and a rockefeller republican? A double whammy from the democrat party!

Translation: The MSM's liberals love him, while the base, which decides candidates through primaries, avoids him like the plague.

[Rudder]

If, perchance, McCain should win, he'll be the only Republican President with Democrat Party majority votes and GOP minority votes.

[hershey]

McCain is delusional.

[antaresequity]

Intended Consequences...?

Consider this:

The left keeps moving more and more left. They keep losing more and more elections.

However, the Republicans keeping moving more and more to the so called 'center' to chase the moderate Democratic votes that have been 'abandoned'. Todays leftist seemed destined to become tomorrow's moderates that the Republicans will be chasing.

The net effect is that the entire government is moving more and more left...and though the liberals are losing...they really are winning.

Witness Bush's big handouts, illegal immigration, health-care etc etc...

We are going to hell in a hand-basket...day in and day out. Rhino's like Rudy, McStain and Arnold (And YES: BUSH) are proof of that...

[JohnBDay]

McCain is the Senator from the New York Times.

[KC Burke]

I guess I have to be honest and say that while support in the primaries is one thing, if one of these guys gets the nomination, that is a whole 'nother can of worms.

I would hold my nose and vote for Rudy, but I don't think I could make my legs walk in the polling place to cast a vote for McCain. McCain is a Nixon, Clinton demogogue if I ever saw one.

[msnimje]

McCain and Rudy are the most popular Republicans among the Media and the Democrats.

[DTogo]

If McCain is the Republican candidate for '08 (which I highly doubt), I will stay home. McCain is a RINO and sell-out on immigration/border enforcement/security.

NO to McCAIN '08!!

[k2blader]

I think McCain has mental problems.

No, seriously.

[stockpirate]

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.

[denydenydeny]

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

[Conspiracy Guy]

McCain would insure a Clinton victory.
