Why wait until 2012? He could be replaced at the convention, and I think he should be. I'd wager that McCain didn't even get a majority of republican votes in the early primaries where other candidates were involved. I'd say they should not vote for him on the first ballot at the convention and elect another nominee on the second ballot. It CAN be done!
I’m all for that. Any of the other candidates that ran would be an improvement.

I’m with your team, KoRn. Where do I sign up?
No, it can’t. John McCain is the Republican nominee. Deal with it.
BTW, you sound like a Ron Paul cultist with talk of highjacking the convention.
“I’d say they should not vote for him on the first ballot at the convention and elect another nominee on the second ballot.”
That’s my position - start a nomination floor fight. I believe Mr. McCain has only about 30% support of Republicans, as indicated by polling. That number could be wrong, but it’s enough to challenge McCain before the first ballot vote. He does not reflect certain important values in the republican platform. His nomination is not inevitable.
We should have enough conservatives at the convention to roll out the big cannons and blast away. All they need is backing and encouragement of the citizens - you and me.
