As of right now, the most likely person to be sworn in on Jan. 20, 2009.

I disagree. He's the pubbie most likely to be sworn at by conservatives until he finally retires from the Senate.
If the GOP nominates this jerk millions of conservatives will stay home. Believe me. I'd rather have four years of Hillary; at least we would know what we're getting.
Not with my vote!
He flaps about in the breeze with greater skill than Hitlery. Meaning, he had no convictions.
"As of right now, the most likely person to be sworn in on Jan. 20, 2009."
I disagree. He's got too many conservatives (like me) who not only don't support him, but outright can't stand him to get the nomination. Giuliani and Frist are RINOs as well, but they haven't incurred the same kind of anger among conservatives as McCain has.
The opposition to McCain will be the 20% Freepertypes. McCain is in Good standing with most Republicans. It's early, but i don't know who is going to beat him.
After the amnesty attempt, I have a feeling a lot more people will be against him. He could end up being lucky to get re-elected to the Senate if he runs again.
Bad that hatred only runs in the hardcore conservative base. McCain has been mending fenses and most in the party will accept him, no matter how much we kick and scream. I just can't imagine some one like a Pense being able to overtake McCain.
More than 20% freepers.
I did not say 20% of Freepers, just that Freepers only represent 20% of the party/vote.
I wouldn't count on that. There are many like my family who don't posts rants on a website, never get polled and still support President Bush. We want nothing to do with McCain. Yes, we are voters!!!
Don't you love to see the grins on these hacks faces when they know they are sticking it to conservatives! No!
Two peas in a pod. Kennedy and McPain.
"As of right now, the most likely person to be sworn in on Jan. 20, 2009."
Hopefully, you are talking about Chabot or Blackwell. They'd get my vote, but not McCain.
I agree, but we do need to stop McCain...otherwise we're still voting for another Hillary.
