Now someone explain why anyone in the party would challenge McCain? This late in the game the only reason any other candidate would jump in?- a shill to bleed off support from me to insure McCain wins. That’s how unions, whoops I mean political parties work - for those hungry for power sometimes means to sacrifice now for a job opportunity later down the line.
I wouldn’t run against McCain, but that doesn’t mean I’d support you. I’ll never trust a politician who says he’s/she’s the only candidate in the race. If that’s true, you’ll go plenty far without my vote.
Others may be looking to run (and it’s not too late for somebody who already has positive name recognition), but, as much as I despise the man, it seems unlikely to me anybody will beat him in the Primary, and he has enough Dem support (because he believes in the same things they do) that heck will freeze over before he loses a General Election.
