From D'Amato's description, McCain may well be the 'Rat nominee...

My impression was that it was the "rush to the center" the last two years that caused Republicans so much grief in this last election.

Karl Rove has it right, that if the Republicans want to regain their majority, they have to stick to their principles. Playing politics and treating our constituents like they're stupid will only get us into more trouble.

McCain doesn't have a shot in hell of winning.

Oh I don't know. The GOP may well nominate him; he won't be representing conservatives in any case

Humorous article. The 'race to the center' means run to the left in reality. It didn't work for McCain before why should it work now?

So Al consulted his crystal ball and this is his prediction.

When the Rudy bashing and the Mormon insults clear, McCain will be left standing and the conservatives will have a choice: McCain or Hillary!

Conservatives will, of course, stay home to teach the country a lesson.

I guess it all depends on which conservatives face him in the primary. I consider McCain a hawkish Democrat.

I'd certainly hope we can do better than that.

McCain could very well be the nominee, but if he's smart, he will run away from his past "moderate" stances. The Repubs didn't lose cause they were too conservative, they lost because they were nothing, or at least seen as nothing but crooks, hypocrites, panderers, big spenders, out of touch...

D'Amato campaigned for Eliot Spitzer this year against the nominee of his own party. That should tell you about what kind of man he is.

A Republican who campaigns for Democrats now supports McCain.

Is he? He's less hawkish than Lieberman, that's for sure. I'm not sure what McCain is.

Right on all counts!

I won't stay home. I'll just vote for the Constitution or Libertarian candidate if McLame is the nominee.

Flame away GOP bootlickers, I don't care.

...image of Bush "flying over" New Orleans in a helicopter...out of touch with the American people

What drivel!!

In the early days of a disaster - natural or otherwise - the presence of the POTUS on the ground just adds to the headaches of the rescuers.

IIRC President Bush made several visits to the Katerina effected area in the following weeks.

I can't argue with that. McCain seems to be a bit too far 'out there' (erratic ideologically) for him to secure the nomination IMO.

d'Amato is not the world's smartest political genius. Sees everything through a very narrow NY focus.

I will not vote for McTraitor. How about Tom Coburn Senator OK?
