That seems what's gonna' happen now... but it's still so far, far away from Nov. 2008. If McCain runs as an Independent... all bets are off. A mini example of that is happening right here in the socialist dutchy of MA... a weak Republican candidate facing off with a half-way sane Independent and a black-socialist Dhimmicrat.
I'm sending out resumes like crazy... cause if this rat-hole of a state gets a Dhimmi Governor... AIEEEEEE!
good luck. ;)
