It is time to stop UNDERESTIMATING McCain. We must have a candidate that can unite fiscal and social conservatives if we hope to defeat Guiliani and McCain and save our party. We must have a true conservative who will implement a Reagan esque conservative agenda.We must have a candidate with whom word and deed are one and the same.I would like to suggest that Mike Pence from Indiana is the only candidate who can be "all things to all men" in the Reagan wing of this party.

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Mark McKinnon, the Austin political consultant who oversaw the advertising for President Bush in the 2000 and 2004 campaigns, has committed to help Sen. John McCain in a second presidential bid. It won't help
I and many others WILL NOT vote for McCain

What's wrong with George Allen (VA)? Or Sam Brownback for that matter?

I will try and not and be too negative. But Allen's and Brownback's fiscal policies(Medicare,NCLB for starters) will enable McCain to get to the right of them fiscally.Allen's views on life,while he is prolife, has caused life groups to look elsewhere. Brownback would divide the perry on immigration.Both of them are big government conservatives who would divide the Reagan wing.We must have a nomin ee who is a staunch Social and fiscal conservative.

Mark McKinnon, the Austin political consultant who oversaw the advertising for President Bush in the 2000 and 2004 campaigns, has committed to help Sen. John McCain in a second presidential bid. [snip] And McKinnon has indicated he would review his options, should Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice or the president's brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, run in 2008.
This article begins with the unequivocal statement that McKinnon has commited to help McCain, and the remainder of the article says that McKinnon is keeping his options open.
Wishful thinking on the part of the author?

In all honesty .. I think it is too earlier to pick a canidate for 2008
Any thing can happen between now and then
With that said .. the only one that I would rule out so far is John McCain
He cannot be trusted in the Senate ..
What makes him think we will trust him with our country?

McCain takes up a lot of oxygen. He's an expert at it. He'll take up oxygen and money and time and effort until he's shoved out of the picture.
His presidential campaign won't go anywhere but he'll cause a lot of grief in the meantime.
To: Alex Marko
If that is the case then I want Hillary. There are more important things than winning.You are wrong BTW, CONSERVATISM wins every time.

Wow, the Republican Party really is hell-bent on self-destruction.
I guess the game plan is to stoke the fires of Clinton-hatred so high that voters can't see the real McCaniac through all the smoke.
Should be about the lowest voter turnout in recent history.
To: Mo1
I will not vote for McCain.

McCain is a NUT. Hillary is a CROOK. Which is worse--?

We always get in the habit of pulling for people we know at a national level, but more often than not a president is elected from with governorship experience.
It's too early to seriously speculate.
Of the last nine men elected to the presidency, four had not previously been governors (GHW Bush, Nixon, Kennedy and Eisenhower). Bush & Nixon had been VPs, Kennedy a Senator and Eisenhower a very famous Army General.
Less than half of the nine had been in the US Congress. Only one was elected to the presidency directly from the congress.
More often than not, the winner of the presidency is a person who was not nationally known before the primaries.

We must have a conservative who, more than anything else they do, will continue to nominate "originalists" to our highest courts; and that is not McCain. The biggest danger to the republic, and to conservative principles, comes from the continued erosion of democracy through the slow, and methodical creation of a judicial oligarchy. That, more than legislation involving fiscal issues or specific social issues is our biggest current and long term problem; and Allen understands this while McCain does not. I will do all I can to help committ McCain to the trash-heap of Republican history.

Typical loser mentality, designed to achieve a Dim-Lite RINO, not to win.

With all the true moderates in the race(McCain,Giuliani,Pataki,and Romney) and all the moderates in conservative clothing(Frist,Brownback,Allen,) This will be our one real chance to nominate a true conservative in 2008. If we do not start shrinking the size of government in 2008 when will we??????
