Yes, I doubt its long-term impact, too. I don't think McCain can win the GOP nomination, and sure hope he doesn't.
I really meant the 'long-term impact' of this Christian awakening he refers to. . .did it disappear when he returned and divorced his wife. . .or perhaps it was more a hindsight; or did this memory 'grow' with significance. . .and only now. . .is making a significant impact, albeit political perhaps. . .
I agree with your conclusion here; do not think he can win GOP either. . . but given time frame. . .who can say. . .
Then there is the Demrat ticket or 'independent'. . .McCain could be a real spoiler.
Agree with Rush. . .we should trade him in for Lieberman. . .
