There is no way I'll put time and effort into getting someone nominated who has no chance of winning a national race

An you are supporting McCain? That a serious intellectual disconnection from political reality you got going there. McCain CANNOT win either the primary nor the General election. You would have a better chance or running Bush Sr again then you would with McCain in 2008. He is simply way to Old Boy Washington to win a National Election. Even on the Social issues he is playing kissy face with the Soro's pretend Republican pro Abortion groups. Sorry but you simply must make peace with this reality.

JOHN MCCAIN will never be either a Candidate for, nor President of, the USA.

You need more than capital letters to make a good argument.

I think McCain has adopted the Bob Dole strategy of "it's my turn."  He thinks he's been towing the party line since 2000, being a good party player, and he expects the party to hand him the nomination.  That completely ignores things like the gang of 14 betrayal of the Party leadership and White House on Judicial nominees that we will be paying for over the next few decades.  He is also ignoring the effects of his own CFR legislation diminishing the inherent power of "the party."

I agree with your assessment.  I just don't think he has  a snowball's chance in hell.
