He may want to be President. (Or maybe not. Hard to tell, given the way he's running his campaign.) But it doesn't look like he wants to be our President.
(I am sick of this guy)
What do we do? we can’t just hand the election to hill and obama, is there nothing else we can do. I thought of voting (other) but What will that accomplish?

I think you have laid out the best possible plan under the circumstances. We really have no choice facing the disasterous train wreck you mention. McCain needs to be taken to the wood shed right now and he might get in line a bit more. It is a real shame. Thank you.
This is what you get when a party scrapes the bottom of the barrel to come up with a candidate.
“McCain may have just handed NC’s 15 EVs to Obama.”
It’s possible. NC is 22% black, and has been trending more Dem in recent elections as yankees move down from the northeast. Did you hear the Pubbie guy from NC on Rush? He said that until this he was going to suck it up and vote for McCain, but now, no way. How many more NC Reps. are torqued enough to stay home?
Our republican convention delagates vote just like the dem delegates do, and they can vote for whomever they wish. If the likely nominee doesn't get a majority on the first ballot, all bets are off.
You may be right about the Congress if Clinton is the nominee; she does have influence on the downstream ticket.
If it is Obama, he has no coattails at all. If you think Clinton has high negatives (that’s a nation wide opinion), Obama will be toast with many of the Democrat voters. North Carolina is tying him to the state candidates right now. This will be the template for all Democrat candidates across the country. IMO, Obama has built up more resentment than just voting against HIM will assuage. Many voters will pour hot oil a lot of others below his name.
Man Up McLame! Try to get some cojones and soon. The RATs will attack you from every side and slime you more than you can imagine while you’re preaching “let’s all just get along.” Or, or you really that dumb?
But, you have to run the best race we can with the horses we've got. We haven't been dealt an ideal hand this election cycle, but we have to play it as best we can.
This guy has been a Washington insider for nearly 30 years, but WE’RE the one’s who are out of touch with reality...
This is why the totally out of touch GOP hasn’t been getting a red cent from me and they won’t in the future. I’ll be sure to call them and remind them. Not that it will matter... they don’t listen to their base anyways.
Johnny Mac is the one out of touch. He is really becoming an embarrassment.
Ain't that the truth. Given the situation among the Dems, give us a strong conservative candidate and this election would be in the Pubs pocket already.
Where can I get more information on this?
Is there even a chance they could do anything like this?
North Carolina republicans, go forward, you are doing good work!
Apparently, John McCain has never heard the refrain, ‘birds of a feather flock together.’ Every one of Barrack Obama’s ‘associates’ is an America-hater. Does that tell us anything, John McCain? Oh, you’re not sure? lol Well, let me ask you this: Who are the patriots and America-lovers who are standing with and for Barrack Obama? Come on, now, I’ll even give you extra time to answer that one. lol
If you have followed McCain through NOLA and other stops, the liberals are going to have a though time hanging Bush on him.
For as much as conservatives dislike McCain’s moderate streak, he is about the only one that could get away with going to Ky and stumping on the very same porch that LBJ introduced his Great Society scheme and campaigning is traditionally Democrat areas. For just about anyone else it would be labeled pandering. I’m sure his opponents will try that also, but with his record, it will slide off. The maverick tag is authentic on McCain.
Conservatives may not like it; he really doesn’t care. And just as well, a hard right conservative could not win the cycle. This is “take what you can get” time. Ride him hard, get what you can and drop him like a red-headed step-child once it’s over.
Upside to a President McCain; he won’t as much time to bungle around the world acting like a Jimmy Carter. :>)
John can stop talking now, he’s convinced me that I could never vote for him.
Hmmm, I’d better check on the “write in” process in the state of Maryland.
