John McCain, a Neocon's Neocon, will be dead for '08 if Plamegate detonates in the way the Left hopes. Plamegate is a twofer-- it's designed to politically castrate/impeach Bush and to thin the GOP field for Hillary in '08.
McCain's closeness with Chalabi-- there is footage-- will be the focus of the Clinton War Room.
McCain is no winner in '08. The GOP base will have to be passionate for whoever the candidate is-- despite McCain's fiscal thrift, he can never make the base love or trust him.
His Chalabi connection kills him with independents and mods assuming Iraq continues to be a political albatross.
McCain, though he won't be indicted, has much to lose from Plamegate.
Is this for real?
Even if true, I can't bring myself to shed any tears for McCain..
..checking my mccain give-a-damn meter.. Nope, still don't care.
I think Anakin is done either way.
Defintely, my point is this isn't a localized event. Republicans who imagine that Bush is on his own, don't get that this will be about them should they go for POTUS. McCain was very out front on Iraq. McCain kids himself he thinks he isn't gonna get collaterally hurt by this.
Ridiculous. More silly than these eagerly awaited indictments.
Is this your third vanity today, or am I not counting correctly?
I guess this is one of the bright sides to all of this.
got link?
And I'm glad about it. I think he and his water boy, Senator Graham, imagine that people haven't been keeping notes on them. They think that Bush can collapse and they won't get the windows on the Straight Talk Express blown out-- they're very wrong about it.
"Where are my strawberries???"
To the footage of him and Chalabi... no, but I've seen it a million times. He was very tight with Chalabi. Trust me that footage and the question it generates from the media will be an issue in the general in '08.

I don't like McCain but I don't see how Hillary benefits from going after him on Iraq. They were both for the war and McCain served this country unlike her.
She would look pathetic going after McCain.
As bad as McCain is he is still far better than Hillary. I don't like McCain's politics but he isn't a left wing nut shrill like Hillary.
Exactly... McCain and his faction imagine that this isn't the case... they are dead wrong.
She won't go after him..the media will. "Were you duped by Chalabi?"
The number of times they met will be news. My point is McCain is a hawk. His domestic politics are the only thing that separates him from Bush. If he imagines that Bush and Cheney and the whole Iraq enterprise can get discredited with Plamegate and he won't feel it, he's nuts.
