McCain will not be the GOP nominee in Nov

Don't bet the farm on that. The GOP has a history of pulling victory out of the jaws of defeat. The GOP has not been accused of being the Party of Smart, but they have been accused of being the Party of Stupid at times.

Barring any obvious health problem -- heart attack or some such that puts McCain in the hospital for weeks or the grave, he will be the nominee.

After all, he will be a perfect representative for the Grand OLD Party.

McCain represents exactly what the country-club party leadership wants -- open borders, amnesty for illegals, quelling the masses (assaults on the First Amendment), more green mandates because that gives companies a way to sell and earn profits at the expense of the consumers, etc. Ironically, either Clinton or Obama also support those policies. The country-club party leadership are more interested in maintaining the status quo than in who is sitting the Oval Office. Their candidate gives them a leg up, but they could live with either of the other two.

The reverse is also true.
