McCain's support has two measures: inside the GOP leadership, which is high because the party has been hijacked by RINOs from the congress to the party organizational leadership to the President.
Among actual voters, however, he doesn't stand a chance. Liberal independents and party-line zombies will vote for him, that's about it.

The MSM can tout, push and pull McCain all they like, I don't see him survivng the primaries. He is a liberal wrapped in a Republican mantel (AKA RINO) and is as detestable a candidate as John Kerry.
After looking at Hunter's record, I'm not convinced that he is a better choice. Romney is a possibility as long as all the MSM have against him is his Mormon religion.
But, in all reality, I'm not sure that we have seen a strong likely candidate showing up in the beauty contest, yet.

We have only McCain, Romney and Guliani.
If those are the choices, we're not going to win. We've got to find another option.

What are the problems with Hunter? He looks pretty strong to me. Weak on some of the free-trade issues, but any votes he loses on that issue could be made up among paleo-cons and Reagan Democrats who would like his position.

Al Gore has made statements saying he would do the gun issue differently.It would be interesting to see Gore vs. Giuliani in 2008.

Take a look at the Constitution Party; I'm going to. They believe in the Constitution as it was written. They believe in state sovereignty, and low taxes. They believe in the original principles of the Declaration of Independence.
I know they can't win, but I'll vote for them before I vote for McCain.
If it's a choice between McCain and Hillary: liberals and the Dem pimp media win.

"Don't be fooled. If by some miracle, they can drag McCain across the finish-line to the nomination, the very next day they'll begin the Mother-of-All character assassinations. And McCain has plenty of baggage for them to use against him."
It's starting already. Kieth Olbertard was railing about McCain "running to the irrational right" to gain support.

Based on his voting record, he has climbed into bed with the liberals too many times and voted in opposition to the GOP's position to a number of issues. I don't see a solid conservative in Hunter; only another "let's-all-get-along" conservative like Bush. BTDT!

It would be Gore vs. Giuliani vs. As Yet Unnamed 3rd Party Candidate. The Democrats aren't stupid enough not to find a "3rd Party" candidate to run to Giuliani's right if such a scenario occurred. My guess is that Lou Dobbs would be the man.

For example? We know where Giuliani, McCain, and Romney have gone off the rails time and time again. How about some specifics on Hunter??

I find your statement about his face rather offensive; since, I had a battle with liver and cervical cancer a few years ago.
Sometimes one has to do what one has to do in order to live.
As for McCain, I've never been impressed with his Political Ideologies.

I would love to have Rick Santorum or John Bolton as the nominee, but let's face it: We have only McCain, Romney and Guliani.Says who? The liberal media. I refuse to accept their word about who is the leading Republican candidate.

***I actually like Guliani. He has been a true conservative***
It's 12:24 and time to take your medication.
Rudy has never EVER been or done anything even remotely "Conservative". The guy's a freaking LIBERAL, period - end - stop.
And as to Rudy and immigration - you're wacky. He'd have all of Mexico here. He's the absolute WORSE on that issue!

I just want to know if he is healthy, and I don't care if that offends you.

"gun to my head"
I agree and I'm sure so do many conservatives. I'm not a big McCain fan, but when it comes down to him or Hillary, well, there is no choice. However I don't believe Republicans on this forum and other conservative areas understand how popular McCain is with the so-called independent voter. He is very popular with them. Even many hard-core Dems, like my lawyer daughter-in-law, would vote for McCain. I realize that's not a good reason to vote for McCain, but unfortunately it may come down to either McCain or Hillary. And again there is no choice.
To: Antoninus
How about some specifics on Hunter?? Well, you backed me down. I went back and looked at his record on a number of different sites and couldn't find the record I originally saw that made me form my original opinion. I know it was his record, but the information this time around came up differently - I can't explain it. Anyway, I am left to agree that he may be a viable candidate, after all.
Thanks for making me take a second look.
