McCain's biggest appeal to Republicans...will be his claim (credibly) that he can win in 2008.

No it won't. It will be "I am the less of the two evils"

The author of this bull , John McIntyre , is clearly a huge John McCain fan and can't see pass his own bias.

McCain no sure bet on the nomination and it is way to early to be saying anything is settled. Even if McCain is the nominee , he's not a sure bet to win a general election.

McCain has the same problem he had in 2000. He is the darling on the leftist media and gets lots of great press but rank and file republicans don't support him. He doesn't have the support with the base to win the nomination.

If the gop takes a beaten in themid terms in Nov , I say the party goes right andf not left of middle which is where mcCain fits. Bush is going to get the blame and the party will belooking for the anti Bush canidate in 08 , someone who doesn't look like another Nixon liberal neocons republican like Bush and co.


The democrats who like vote for him in open primaries inflates his numbers and are a big partofhis supporters. But they won't vote for him in the general election. This holds truer if a Clinton is the nominee on the other side.
Democrats hero worship the clinton's.
