It's obvious that McCain will almost certainly run. IMO, the threat he poses needs to be taken seriously, not written off like the pre-election polls.

[Echo Talon]

Now he's gonna screw up Christmas... WTF...

[msnimje]

I don't think a 72 year old man who is so disliked by his own party really has much of chance.

[frankiep]

Exactly. He must be taken seriously and treated as a real threat. The media will not show the average, apathetic, and uninformed voter the real snake that is McCain. This is not good at all.

[TexasTransplant]

He can make all of the plans he wants.

I wouldn't waste the sweat (from my under arms) or ever waste a vote on his sorry RINO a$$

TT

[Bahbah]

Please, John. Be of some use in this war. This is not the way. You are 70 years old. You lost to George Bush. Please, get over it. Retire.

[unspun]

Dear Sen. McCain,

Please remember Nancy Reagan's words of wisdom.

"Just say no."

FReegards,

McPain will face much the same opposition that his good pal, sKerry, did. His POW status does nothing to qualify him for office. Is the RNC backs this guy they are nuts. If you search a bit, BDS sems to have it's roots in his 2000 campaign.

[labette]

Wow! After the self-promoting prima donna does his best to destroy the party, he wants to fix it?

[bill1952]

God, will this nightmare month never end?

I share your view that he will run, and contrary to popular opinion around these parts, I am quite certain that he will win the primary.

McCain has been around a long time, and has built up quite a lot of points in the National GOP infrastructure.

As for the GOP or RNC not supporting him, that is a fairy tale.

Wake up guys, they nominated Dole.

[TommyDale]

John looks constipated

[KyHammer]

Is he going to run as a Republican or a Democrat?

[Fairview]

Please, John, just shut up and go away. You're old; the future is for the young(er). People like Michael Steele, for instance. Jeb Bush. Sonny Perdue. Duncan Hunter. Tom Tancredo. Etc. Conservatives, in other words, rather than RINOs with a heart condition.

[John Lenin]

Too old!

[Hattie]

Now the Democrat Media has determined the frontrunner for the GOP. No need for primaries or Republican input.

[GVNR]

Whenever I even look at McCain I think of a movie that I once saw, about a politician who's gone through torture at the hands of an enemy.

It's not that I think that anything like the movie might have happened to him, BUT I have to question the rationality on his thinking.

Republican or not - - I would have a VERY VERY difficult time voting for him.......I sincerely hope he decides NOT to be a candidate for the Presidency in '08.

[JHBowden]

YEEEEAGH!

McCain is our version of Mad How. McCain's mental stability is a bigger problem than any issue position he has taken. I certainly don't want to see the Republicans crater in the same style as Chairman Dean's meltdown.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Making a run as a Republican does not bother me. He won't survive the primaries. What scares me about McCain is a third party run.If say McCain were to team up with say someone like Colin Powell. It would get really strange.

[vamoose]

Shouldn't a barf alert be put on this thread?

[Leisler]

Two words.

McCain-Feingold.

[Frwy]

I've already made my decision about McPain. Thumbs be down.
