Furthermore, how does he expect to win the party's support for 2008?

Because Soros, the 527's, the lamestream media and about 70% of the big donor base and RINO's think it is his turn . . . like Bob Dole in 1996.

It just goes to show how self-centered McCain is. It's giving in to listen to the people? His whining, his foul mouth and temper are why he need not be President.

Good analysis. I think it nails it pretty well.

McCain is finished because he would be 73 the year he took office.

Alot of people like John McCain....I don't.

I don't like the way he was involved in the Keating Five and found a hole to slime out of the mess he was in, is that why he's the media darling of all times?

And then there is the Campaign Finance Reform with him and Finegold....this opened the hole for Soros to pour money into the rat patrol pockets and increased the power of lobbyists.

McCain is all about McCain, he isn't interested in America, he could care less about the safety of America, he could care less about you and me.

Sure he went out on the campaign trail with President Bush in 04, but didn't you wonder if maybe he was a 'rat in sheep's clothing' to let Kerry know what Bush had planned? After all, it took McCain a week before he gave Kerry an answer as to whether he would be his VP....surely he wasn't concerned about America at that time, he was trying to figure out a way he could present this to the American people so they would swallow it, and when that didn't work, he said no, and that's the only reason....McCain for McCain.

I don't know why the people of Arizona vote him in all the time, guess he's bringing home the 'bacon' is the only reason I can see...I haven't seen him do any good for anything else but McCain.

Vote for him if thats what you want, another RINO, but I won't....there's to many of them in the Republican party and its time we get them out....

And now he's teaming up with Drunk kennedy on an immigration bill, why doesn't he just become a RAT instead of a RINO????

Bingo. He knows he's got as good of a lock as anyone can at this point and it will be hard for him to lose the nomination at this point.

"Good analysis. I think it nails it pretty well."

That's why I think Duncan Hunter may not be such a Dark Horse after all. McCain is going to implode because of age/cfr/gang14/keating. Giulani's own playbook notes his problem. And Mitt's Mormonism in a presidential campaign paints a target on him.

But in the Vanity Fair quote, he demonstrates something not seen before – direct hostility toward his own base of voters.

Oh, it's been seen before.

McCain is all about McCain

This is it, in a nutshell. He's Republican mostly because the Democrats are a much poorer fit. But he cares not a whit about ideas or philosophy -- he's in the GOP because he needs some kind of base to achieve his power goals.

Personally, I loathe McCain more than I do Hillary. I have more trust in someone who I know is going to screw me than someone who would do so at the most opportune time for them.

Hillary doesn't even pretend to be my friend, thats why I like her.........

John McCain is an American hero who lost his mind under Communist torture in Vietnam. Pitty him.

I think we are misunderstanding John McCain. John McCain does not hate the GOP. Similarly, the Democrats do not hate America. They are wholly indifferent to any such principles or substantive values. Those things are for minions and small people.

They have been wilfully subjugating the entire nation's inrerests to their own personal greedy ambitions for POWER. This is the key to understanding all these traitorous scum, who must must be exorcised from America if it is to survive.

In their mitigated defense, some of them believe that they will lead us all to a land of make-believe nirvana, where carefree lambs will prance before hungry lions. As for most of them, though, they are selfish and greedy would-be tyrants itching for the exercise of raw power.

Wake up, America.

I live in Arizona have have observed the state GOP Party machinations here. McCain is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS pulling the strings in the RINO wing of the party. Right now he's one of the powerful elite behind a RINO that's running for state party chair against conservative Randy Pullen. He always backs the RINO in every race here.

Keep that in mind when you're deciding whether he should be the guy, as President, to lead the Republican Party at a national level.

Um, I don't know a single republican who supports McCain. There certainly hasn't been anybody on this website that I am aware of. He's the media's candidate. Just in case the Republicans win because of high turnout against Rodham-Clinon, the Republican candidate must be as liberal as possible. Same thing with Romney, who was #8 on Human Events' list of the top 10 RINOs. It would also be the case with Giuliani, but most of the MSM is from NY, and they are familiar enough with him that they can't get over their hatred for long enough to pretend they support him. I'm hoping that when we finally get to the primaries a year from now a conservative will have emerged. He doesn't need to be a frontrunner right now, just next fall.
