DOA in the GOP primaries. Not enough stupid Republicans to believe RINO McCain's latest transformation into a "conservative."

[trek]

OMG! McCain is Bob Dole without the good will of the base. Not quite a winner IMO. But then again, they aren't known as the Stupid Party for nothing.

ugh

McCain, the GOP maverick

I looked up the word "maverick," and it means "loose cannon."

What a waste of $$$

Save yourself the trouble John and don't bother...you're not getting any of our votes!

[bybybill]

John, start exploring, your not getting my vote. Why? Cause you gave us more then enough proof you can`t be trusted!

[BenLurkin]

What became of his exploratory panel looking for the missing strawberries?

[VictoryGal]

Good God-- if it's between McCain and Hillary, I'm going to spend election day puking my guts out.

They can explore all they want. I voted a straight Republican ballot a few days ago, but I'm not going to vote for their candidates.

Explore this, Senator...

[kuma]

He's too old. 2000 was his year or never. Why doesn't he help us draft Mark Sanford or someone else with the credentials to help us win this election.

McCain to launch 2008 exploratory panel

No way, no how. Forget it, John!

[Unmarked Package]

Conservatives need to work diligently to make sure McCain either abandons his plans or fails in the Republican primaries.

I can think of very few politicians who could actually suppress the rabid anti-Hillary vote by conservatives, but John McCain is one such politician on that very short list. McCain is absolute poison to the conservative movement.

[MaxMax]

I vote McCain as house towel handler.

Or custodian, whichever.

[EasySt]

McCain is Howard Dean with Manchurian Candidate training.

He will NOT get my vote.

A vote for him, or Rudy, simply encourage the GOP to move even farther to the left. (I like Rudy, he's a nice guy, but he'll vote like Hillary. No thanks.)

I held my nose, once again, and voted for all the RINOs offered me. It didn't work.

Never again.

I know a lot of folks in these parts don't like him BUT...

If he is the nominee I will support him because the alternative would be worse.

The message of 2006 was clear-people don't want a big-government spending, nanny-stating Christian Socialist Bush clone in '08. McCain, whatever you might think of him, certainly fits that bill. Let's face facts-the GOP desperately needs to get back to common-sense fiscal conservatism and McCain is one of the few who has been willing to speak out against the porkers who were in charge before.
