Well, when you try to be all things to all men; both sides end up hating you. The Conservatives can't stand McCain nor can the Liberals. So, tell me, how does anyone expect him to be a serious CONTENDER for the Presidency?
I remember hearing a story about a young man during the Civil War who refused to fight for the North or the South. Guess what; both sides shot at him.
The reason he is considered a contender, by the MSM..and polls, is because of that disgusting saying that Senators are always using against President Bush..
that he is a "divider, not a uniter"...which means that they expect McCain to be so in the middle that this country will go down the drain, but with happy people...blech.
McCain is no better than Gore or Kerry would have been as POTUS...
