If true that the Bush family is support this candidacy, then prepare the GOP for Bob Dole redux.

Right now McCain is who I will support in the primary unless someone grabs me. Romney I am open too but his pro life stance or lack of is troubling. Frist-sorry cant win, Allen- maybe but he doesnt seem to got that special thing that helps one win the Prez. I mean who is left

How do we sabotage McCain this time around?

He's always wanted the Presidency, for all the wrong reasons. At best he'd be a mediocre stand in until a better, more principled conservative comes along. At worst, he'd be another Clinton, with everything slipping through his fingers through incompetence all the while blaming his mediocrity on someone else.

McCain does not have what it takes to be President. He'd be happier just staying a Senator. The hours are better and the workload is far less.

I wonder if the liberals have latched onto him, hoping to convince him to run as a third party candidate when he fails to win the nomination. If they haven't, they will.

A McCain (or a Rudy) nomination will guarantee a Hillary win in '08.

*yawn* Oh, look, the commentators are trying to pick the party candidates again. Sorry, we've looked at McCain, we're rejected him, going around again will just waste people's money.

Which is probably the goal here - cut off money from others by making McCain appear to be the crowned prince.

The McCain Campaign Slogan: Vote for Me or You'll Get Clinton.

...and we saw how much luck Bob Dole had with that strategy.

Can't beat something with nothing...and right now we've got no one on the conservative side to run with a decent chance of winning both the primaries and the general election.

OhpleaseGodno! Wonder if he'll still be the media's darling?

IF he makes it to the nomination I will vote for him rather than not vote, but please, no!

The guys at the American Spectator are not fans of John McCain. If anything, this is a warning that the GOP establishment (including the Bush family) is lining up the big donors behind McCain.

Well, the liberal guys I work with sure do love McCain. If it's Hillary vs. McCain, a lot of liberal males will be voting McCain.

Classic Dick Morris triangulation strategery. Want to see what a McCain presidency will look like, just check out California under its current governor.

As far as the GOP establishment and the MSM are concerned, he doesn't have to be President. He just needs to win the GOP primaries and lose the general election like Dole did in 1996.

No way he get's through the primary unless there is no real competition.

It looks like there will be plenty.

If McCain gets the nomination, then Hillary won't need a Ross Perot type third party running in order to win.
