VANITY: A Conservative Nightmare in 2012: will McCain run again?
FR | 2010-03-14 | rabscuttle385

Posted on 03/13/2010 6:02:46 PM PST by rabscuttle385

The RINO McCain is in New Hampshire now campaigning for Kelly Ayotte, who is running for Senator from that state.

According to the Nashua Telegraph, he's also co-hosting a town hall with Ms. Ayotte.

The Boston Globe notes that the town hall meeting was

"reminiscent of those he held during his two presidential campaigns."

Fox News also reports that

McCain did over 100 townhall meetings leading up to the crucial "First in the Nation" New Hampshire Presidential Primary and won, once again becoming the GOP frontrunner.

So, my question for my fellow FReepers is, McCain's 2010 re-election race with J.D. aside, what happens if McCain wins in 2010 and then makes a power play to take the 2012 GOP nomination against Obama? What will you do? Whom will you support?

Even worse: what if McCain triangulates and runs alongside Romney?

If Palin is the GOP nominee, I will vote for her and pray that she has what it takes to restore America as a free country. If McCain is the media/GOP/RINO nominee, I will still vote for Sarah Palin and pray that she has what it takes to restore America as a free country. Either way, I know that Palin is on God’s side and that with Him all things are possible.

"The American people need a break.
Let’s screw them all again."

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
 which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."

--  President Ronald Reagan


"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""

--  President Ronald Reagan

McCain is not going to get the nomination. Heck, there’s a good chance that Hayworth will send him into retirement.

This is really silly, a 76 year old weak candidate from 2008 is not going to run in 2012.

I think I will puke. I don’t think McLame has a chance this time. He is too old and stupid, not to mention he is a proven loser.

That said, Romney is no prize and Huckleberry isn’t either.

The GOP needs to energize. So far they are all RINO’ed up.

I wouldn’t be surprised. Juan knows that Barry is going to need all the help he can get with getting a second term. McCain is probably Barry’s last hope.

If the RNC backs another liberal like McCain aghain, it may, indeed, be time for a conseervative body to emerge in revolt.

No. By the way he ran his last campaign, McCain clearly never wanted the Presidency, only the nomination of his party. Been there, done that now.
