Dont count Mccain out. A lot can happen between now and November !


I see McCain getting trounced. Obama has him pinned in on almost every issue because it’s too easy to simply point out that on immigration, tax cuts, global warming, campaign finance, judicial appointments, Gitmo, water boarding, McCain has spent more time advocating Dem positions than Republican (much less conservative) positions. He even shot his mouth off in opposition to the overseas eavesdropping program back in 2006, before he decided to again become a “hawk” in the WOT.

The one issue McCain might “own” is Iraq but there isn’t much hay to be made on that. Like it or not, the American people are lukewarm at best about our presence there.

And, if McCain somehow wins I don’t know it is that much better. It will kill the conservative cause inside the Republican party for decades. Coming off the losses in 2006, especially the three for-real conservative senators unseated, the lesson will be that Republicans can win running as liberals.

But I don’t think he can win. To beat the radical left you have to FIGHT them, not pussyfoot around. You have to fight them on every issue and for every inch of turf. McCain has very little foothold and not much bark much less bite. We are looking at Bob Dole, the Sequel.

I think McCain is smarter then you think. By not allowing smear campaigns on his side.
He will put Obama in a corner when those liberal groups from move on. org come out with their 20 million spending spree ads.
