Mccain/Rice would be a lock in the general election.
McCain kinda gives me the creeps, he reminds me of Peter Lorre when he laughs.
McCain at the top of the ticket is not a good idea if you want the right wing of the party to be in play. He is liberal let's just face facts. John Kerry wanted him as his running mate. He is also in so close to the MSM I do not trust him. If the MSM likes him that spells trouble in my book.
I suggest the Presidential candidate needs to be a conservative to get the base to vote and draw the new voters. Ronald Reagan was a conservative. His more liberal Vice President, Bush, only won once. President G. W. Bush, as a conservative, has now won twice. Conservatives will always vote if they have the opportunity and the candidate. Some of us will even walk across broken glass - or drag our wounded bodies across broken glass to vote for a conservative.
