Like most "nightmares" we dream about, they do no come true.
McCain had his shot, and though Americans may have short memories, they will not forget his rancor, piss poor bills, aligning the 'Gang of 14' filibuster deal, and his being a general thorn in the side of GWB & Co..
Should McCain choose to run as an independent, he would (IMHO) have little to no effect the presidential election.
It's always good to hear,(and easier to believe), about polls that say what we want to hear.
I'd crawl through broken glass.......
I don't think McCain would do that to his country.
There is a greater chance, in my view, that the radical left will field an anti-war candidate.
That said, if the GOP candidate is pro-choice, the Dems will try to make abortion the de facto Ross Perot, i.e., try to make the Right sit out the election, (and thereby place a de facto vote for missus clinton or whichever D is running).... But this will work only if the Right complies.
"I am Sick and Tired! of people saying that if you criticize the Republicans, you are not patriotic! Sick and Tired of it!
"And you people know wha I'm talkin 'bout!"
I have saying since 2000 that if Hill runs she'll be lucky to win the primary, let alone the general. The People are tired of the Clinton legacy and the last thing they want is to see all the slime dredged out into the public street again. Except in New England.
Someone on e-mailed Fox & Freinds that they would support Hitlery if John Kerry was the Republican candidate.
"Please, no one should underestimate the ice queen."
I can't agree enough. I had hoped that the GOP would have identified a "strong" player to take her on in NY.
On one hand it would make her fight and spend to keep the Senate plus pledge to stay the term. Which is a plus and she might lose and thus be politically dead.
On the other hand, it might be a chance for her and the MSM to get all the negative stuff that might come up in the 08 race out of the way. This is a big negative as if there is ever a public discussion of all her "baggage" outside of a liberal stronghold like NY then it will really hurt her.
I would bet that 90% would like to see this wretch convicted and jailed.
Mrs. Clinton's our president the instant Oprah gives the thumbs-up :<
I may be deluding myself a little, but I don't think that the American electorate cares about things like race or gender anymore where the presidency is concerned. I think the right woman could get elected to the White house, but Hillary is NOT that woman.
If Rice could put together the political infrastructure she'd have a real shot, but absent her, no woman is going to get elected next term.
Sure, real people won't vote for her, but what about all the dead people, double voters and the like?
Tell Karl Rove to fire up the Mass Mind Control Machine. Hillary! was supposed to suck all the oxygen out of the 2008 Democrat Primary before spectacularly self destructing in the run-up to the Democrat National Convention.
Don't these guys even have a playbook!
SAVE Hillary!. She hasn't finished destroying the Democrat Party yet!
I guess the TV show touting Hillary's future presidency was a failure. Time to pull the plug on "Commander in Chief".
This statement more than "suggests" that this poll is donkey doo.

Jeb Bush coupled with a solid younger but accomplished conservative (maybe an up and coming Lynn Swann, I know he has to win the governors race first) would be a dominating force. We also must be sure we continue the war and tax policies of George and McCain is too buddy buddy with the liberal Senators and Rudy is too liberal in the areas he needs to be conservative. The next President must not think raising taxes is ok,McCain and Rudy seem like tax raisers for sure.
