The John McCain candidacy, launched amid much hope, fanfare, and high expectations, may be dying before our eyes. Even worse, it may go out with a whimper instead of a bang.
It may not end in an Armageddon style primary defeat, but just dry up from lack of support, money, or interest.
Throughout all of 2006, McCain sat atop the polls right next to Rudy Giuliani. In the Fox News survey of December, 2006, he was getting 27 percent of the Republican primary vote to Rudy's 31 percent.

Who cares? He's the Media's Favorite Republican TM and that alone makes McCain anathema to conservatives.

IMHO, he won't make it past the primaries -- sooner is better to allow focus on a better candidate.

Damn, I hope Dick Morris is right about this. McCain is persona non grata with the GOP base and he knows it. Rudy should deliver the coup de grace by offering McCain a cabinet position (SecDef, perhaps) if he drops out now.

In the next couple of months I think we are going to see many others fall to the wayside.

I suggest McCain is made Ambassador to Turkmenistan. The President there is just as loony as he is, and they ought to get along swimmingly.
