I can't imagine why.

Don’t believe the polls for a second. McCain is not thought well of in Ohio.
LOL—well, the more Wright and Obama open their fat yaps, the narrower the choices. I have said for a long time I won’t vote for McCain, but y’know, after seeing what Obama is about, if Obama is the ‘Rat candidate, I might. Self defense voting, so to speak. (And all this time I thought he was an empty suit—now we know his suit IS full...of hatred, among other unmentionable things...)
I will vote for McCain over a socialist.
I really think McCain is a terrible choice for conservatives, but honestly: if thinking people engage their brains, they could NEVER EVER vote for either Democrat.
Obama and Hillary are atrocious choices—anyone with a mere modicum of intelligence will come to that conclusion.
McCain isn’t the best, but he shines like a diamond compared to the two Democrat jokers.
As I have said many times: Barack McGovern Obama here we come!
This business about “McCain not being well thought of in Ohio.” is foolish talk. McCain in a national landslide. The quicker we accept this, the quicker we can start planning a November strategy based on reality.
It seems there are advantages to being In or out. when you are in you can use the government to achieve your ends(SCOTUS nominations) etc. when you are out you can easily mobilize the opposition. I am thinking that with McCain in we can have the best of both worlds. We have a man who will have to build bridges to us and who has a 85% conservative voting record. But, on the other side we have someone we don’t really like or trust so we will be mobilized ourself to do massive opposition if we need to. Seems sweet doesn’t it. On the other hand given is age and health he will probably drop dead and then we will hav really good Conservative President in Pawlenty or Sanford.
Vote against McCain = New Scotus nominee Sheila Jackson Lee!
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows John McCain with a six-percentage point lead over both potential Democratic opponents. McCain currently leads Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton by an identical 48% to 42% margin. McCain has a double-digit lead over Clinton among unaffiliated voters and is essentially even with Obama among those same voters. However, McCain makes greater inroads among Democrats with Obama as the nominee.
McCain has gained ground against both Democrats in recent days as stories about Obama’s former Pastor, Jeremiah Wright, have been widely discussed(see recent daily results). Wright is viewed favorably by just 8% of American voters and 73% consider his comments racially divisive.
The dialogue about Wright’s controversial comments appears to have had at least a short-term impact on public perceptions of Barack Obama. The Illinois Senator is viewed favorably today by just 47% of voters nationwide. That’s down five points since last Thursday (see recent daily results). The number with an unfavorable view of Obama has risen from 44% on Thursday to 50% today. Among White voters, Obama is now viewed favorably by 43% and unfavorably by 54%.
Looked at from a slightly longer perspective, Obama’s overall favorable ratings peaked at 56% on February 21, shortly after he won the Wisconsin Primary. At that point, Clinton began raising questions about Obama as part of the campaign that ultimately enabled her to win the Texas and Ohio Primaries. Since then, Obama’s net favorability ratings have fallen seventeen points (from plus 14 points on February 21 to minus 3 points today).
