1. I believe he is emotionally unstable and would self-destruct during the general campaign. I do not think he would win, and I think that if by chance he DID win, he would be an unsafe person in the Oval Office. All we need to see is a president doing a "Death Star" impression or ranting like Captain Queeg.
2. For some time I have been seeing hints that the media and democrats WANT McCain to be the nominee. I can offer numerous examples, but Ellen Ratner, notorious Marxist, is one which springs to mind. She said one Saturday morning on Fox that she just LOVED John McCain and hoped that he would be the nominee.
I asked myself, why? And the only answer I could come up with is that Ratner thought that McCain was an easy opponent. And then I realized that the only way this would be true is if the media was ready to pounce on him should he get the nomination. I think they are loaded for bear and will commence firing the minute he gets the nomination. We will hear over and over about his first marriage, his current wife's drug problems, his less-than-stellar record at Annapolis, his membership in the Keating 5, etc. etc. I haven't even counted all of the unguarded comments he made to the press on that "Straight Talk Express" which are sure to resurface once the campaign is underway.
If McCain gets the nomination, I will support him, but I am very afraid for him to get it, since I don't think he will make it through the campaign.
I very much agree and I think he's proved in spades that he's unstable.
