It's already starting. His free ride in the press.
We are going to be in trouble if we don't get our act together to stop this maniac from getting the nomination. The conviction around here that he doesn't have a chance is dead wrong.
Staten Island, what has happened to you????
I knew the place would fall apart when I left...
As if this is news. McCain has been running for 2008 since he lost in 2000.
Hillary will dig up so much crap on McCain his head will spin.

"Staten Island, what has happened to you???? "
They're a mob of social LIBERALS.
God, I wish McCain would just go away. I'm so embarrassed to have him as my Senator.

This RINO is part of the problem with the Republican party....vote him OUT!!!!
The media is pushing him hard. The spin is on. They don't want McCain for president. They just want him against Hillary. They want Hillary and they know a lot of us won't vote for McCain so they get Hillary.

The McCain/Rudy love in the press is astounding.
I cannot believe how easy they have had it.
Perfect, as another Islander (ona nd off since 1980!), I'm shocked and appalled that the Staten Island Advance (suitable for wrapping fish and training puppies) would lean in this direction. I'm not shocked at the gushing Guy Molinari (ever the opportunist). Mr. Molinari is, however, dreaming is he thinks McCain/Guiliani could get past the God, Guns and Gays coalition in any republican primary.
I'd take anything actually printed in the Advance with a huge grain of salt, however: I believe the real reason behind this article is to suggest a candidate or combination of candidates, that cannot win in order to damage the republican party. The Advance, in recent years, has become more and more a schill for the democratic party (and in this past election, endorsed every democrat running for a State Senate or Assembly seat. The only republican nod went to the Vito Fosella for Congress, simply because he ran virtually unopposed). The Advance's stands on the war on Terror would absolutely stun you: they have agreed with democrats that hearings should be held on the entire war, they agreed (vehemently!)with democrats on the Patriot Act and NSA wiretapping. The Advance does not even do any war reporting of it's own: it simply repeats what it picks up on the news wires (AP, for example) and reprints it.
The Advance, for several years now, has not provided opinions or editorial content that actually jibes with the general feelings or beliefs prevalent amongst Staten Islanders,and has advanced, instead, the views prevalent amongst it's corporate board (Newhouse Newspapers and Publishing). Check the editorial page and you'll see. If you're lucky, you might get one column a week from a Bill O'Reilly or a James Lileks, and that's about it. The rest of the time, the likes of Ellen Goodman (or worse, it's homegrown surrender-now-we-need-more-abortions-and-affirmative-action boosters, like Stevie Lacy-Pendleton)grace it's pages.
A McCain presidency would be like living under Mussolini, only less entertaining.
Which one Fantasy Island?
McCain is a looser
She won't have to, mcpain took bribes, remember the keating five... the msm will remind those that forgot or were too young to know.
A demonRAT can be a member of the KKK, but a pubbie can never outlive his past. Within days of his announced run, the msm will begin the drumbeat of mcpain's "checkered past"... and so it will go.
Please God, no....no turncoat traitor backstabbers...
