One thing you can count on is that the media coverage of McCain would take a sharp turn for the worse if he ever received the GOP nomination. You might even see a Democrat-type version of the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth surface in the campaign.

Trust me -- the media would spend the six months leading up to the election portraying McCain as a mentally imbalanced Vietnam War veteran.

And anyway -- the guy is missing the one key qualification to be a presidential candidate in this country . . . He hardly ever smiles.

I think you're 100% correct there. Once McCain's pro-life position is exposed the media will start saying "And then there are the questions--often asked by Republicans--about the Senator's mental health..."

This is true - as well, he went to Vietnam in the 80's - with SKerry - about the POW question - and there's some smoke there

He also has a temper problem...not that he's not entitled, after all he went thru' - but doesn't bode well for POTUS
