According to polling data McCain is wining in SC and FLA. McCain can win the nomination. A lot of old style Establishment Republicans are being seduced by McCain's Cult of Personality campaign and fraudulent posturing on Iraq.

McCainiacs are running around dishonestly assigning credit for The Surge strategy to McCain. McCain had nothing to do with the Surge. His plan was the Baker Commission and Americanizing the war. The Baker Commission was a creature of John McCain and Senate Republicans. It was the price they demanded of Bush for continuing to fund the war in 2006.

This current posturing is merely a cheap political ploy for McCain to flop once again on Iraq and be on the winning side.

McCain position on Iraq blows with the polling data inside the GOP. 1st he is for it, then he is for it but the execution was all wrong. Then we needed “250,000 more boots on the ground”, then the war needs a political solution since it was militarily unwindable now the Surge is working and he is trying, fraudulently, to claim it was his idea.

God save the Republic! If the GOP runs McCain color this life long Conservative activist on the bench for 2008

“God save the Republic! If the GOP runs McCain color this life long Conservative activist on the bench for 2008.”

I’m with you. Same with Huckabee.

After a few races I can see where McCain can gain popularity. But it’s a false support, IMHO. The media and the McCain camp can claim anything they want but the majority of conservatives won’t buy it.

I was surprised that no one has challenged McCain on that. Even Rummy has resigned because of dem take-over & Prez don't want to put the torture of dems so he was let go.

And it was the Prez who asigned David Patreus saying Wasshington(meaning senate) should stay out of Military strategy & Prez is the decider on all things Military.

Also, he keep blaming Bush admn for Katrina even though Republicans won overwhelmingly proving it was the democrat-bungle for Katrina debacle. Democrats were hiding behind McCain's grand-standing during 2006 which was mainly responsible for Republican-loss, imho.

you are wrong here about McCain. He has been calling for more troops almost from the beginning. He never used the term surge but that is a distinction without a difference.
