As truly horrific as it would be for the liberal and unethical Mike Huckabee to win the Republican presidential nomination, many Republicans still believe it would be almost as difficult to stomach the nomination of John McCain.
Huckabee, of course, would utterly destroy the old Reagan coalition, as even his campaign chief Ed Rollins has acknowledged. Huckabee's bizarre propensity for letting criminals return early to freedom, combined with his utter cluelessness about foreign policy, also means that he would get absolutely crushed by the Democrats in a general election contest.
But McCain's problems are almost as great, which is why reports of a comeback by the Arizona senator have so many conservatives scratching their heads.
McCain is, and looks, more than two years older than Ronald Reagan was when Reagan was elected president, and a poll last year showed that 42 percent of respondents said they would not vote for somebody who is 72 years old. That is a far higher percentage than that of people who would not vote for a Mormon (24 percent), a woman (11 percent), or a black person (5 percent).
McCain is not a tax cutter in a party that has made tax cuts one of its most basic tenets for nearly 30 years. Not only did he vote against President George W. Bush's tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 -- cuts that clearly are responsible for the booming economy of the past four-plus years -- but just last week he told National Review's Rich Lowry that he was correct not to vote for those tax cuts.

wow...........ugly on purple
McCain’s distaste is only sweetened by the specter of Romney and Huckabee. It says a lot when it takes running against the GOP version of John Kerry and Bill Clinton to make McCain look more electable.
Sen. John McCain-(R) Drive-by Media
How sad and how true
America ain’t going to vote for a 72 year old war hero turned gone soft.
I am a Republican. I vote in every election. And I will not vote for McCain under any circumstances.
So who do you vote for? McCain or Hillary? God forbid either of them become President!
.
Chelsea ain’t talkin’ to the unwashed little peons!
She’s hedging her fun!
If that is the choice, I’d vote Hillary. Give the republicans in Congress someone to fight against - cuz McCain would do about 90% of her policies, while undercutting republicans.
If we’re going to have a lunatic liberal, why not Hillary?
However, I don’t see it coming to that - McCain won’t win in a republican primary (vs open ones).
A John McCain for President yard sign will NEVER cast it’s shadow on my front lawn.
Nor I!!!

Not just "No", but "Hell no"...
That’s pretty good.
Not even his political identical twin, Hillary Clinton makes McCain more electable to me.
I sure hope you are right about McCain. If Hillary wins, life as we know it is GONE.
