Dole never had any chance of beating Clinton and everyone knew it. Mccain has every chance (and likely the best chance) of keeping another Clinton out of the White House, however.
McCain has a real potential to sway a huge number of conservative democrats. He may have a beef with hard line conservatives because of SC 2000, but I can definitely live with McCain. There is no way I am staying home in '08, unless I want to wake up depressed on the morning of Nov 3.
The media owns John McCain. They created him and they own him. President John McCain would call the MSM to ask for permission to go potty.
If you want to define the path of the Republican party based on what the stupid Democrats may or may not do, you have already conceded defeat.
McCain has no chance at all really, but go ahead believing the leftist sycophants in the media, they really know and want what is best for Republicans... NOT!

McCain has a chance? ROTFLMS!!!!!!!! A snowballs chance in hell, but hey.
