Here's what I don't get. McCain ahs to know that even before he started to lead the fight for this fiacos of an immigration bill, he was facing an uphill fight. Now, since he's come out in favor of it, and indeed is leading the battle to ram it through the senate, he has almoist NO, NADA, ZERO, ZILCH chance of getting the GOP nomination. So why the desire to so publicly commit political suicide??

One possible answer?..A 3rd party bid, either with self-financing Bloomberg as his running mate, or with McCain as Bloomy's VP?..

"So why the desire to so publicly commit political suicide??"

Nah, it's just because McCain just isn't that bright. In 2000, his consultants told him that he could win primaries by running against the base. Anyone who believes that ain't smart enough to put his pants on in the morning.

In 2007, he thinks that posing on TV with Ted Kennedy will get him the nomination.

The real question is: Who's putting McCain's pants on in the morning?

My opinion: McCain decided some months ago that he couldn't win, and nodded towards his friend Fred Thompson.

I don't expect him to be in the field that much longer.

McLame is just sucking up to Mel Martinez. The boy is desperate to be CINC. Too bad the rest of us know a dog turd when we see it.
