I am a McCain Supporter was in 2000 too. And you?
Brownback, Tancredo and Hunter have as much chance as Alan Keyes. Which is to say they are one issue candidates and are only in it to highlight their issue.
Frankly we know how this is gonna end to both our dismay. This will be an All NY race with a New York Liberal ( Giuliani) running against a VERY Liberal New Yorker ( Hillary). In the end we will both hold our noses and vote for Giuliani. Everything else is posturing.
Neither of our preferred candidates ( Your Mr. X or McCain) has any chance of winning barring the withdrawal of Giuliani.
My guess is Giuliani wins it in a squeaker. You may not like it...But that's reality.
I supported Quayle and then Bush.
And there is no way in hell I would vote for McCain. The fact that you support the dude shows you ain't a conservative.
Brownback is a one-issue candidate? He's in favor of amnesty!
Hunter? He's solid on a lot of issues.
Tancredo? Love the guy but IMO an activist does not make a good president.
McCain? More like McQueeg. Not fit to be president.
Horsefeathers. Rudy pulled out last time he faced the Hildebeast. Romney (who I don't support) has the best chance of the current alleged frontrunners, because he doesn't have the ethical baggage of McKeating Five or Guiliani Bernie Kerik.
