That's right he had nose cancer!
That fits.
McCain is known for cutting off his nose to spite his face.
The mere mention of this jerk's name makes my blood boil. I can say in all honesty I will never, ever vote for this ego-maniac. I'm a big Barone fan, but he lost me on this one.
McCain will run with Hillary
You will have to drive nails through my feet to fasten me to the floor to keep me from going to the primary voting machine to cast my vote against John McCain.
Dear oceanview,
"if the current SCOTUS tosses the defense of marriage act - can Bush do anything about that? what powers do you think he has?"
He has previously resisted a constitutional amendment pertaining to the question. I would expect him to lead the charge for one, should the Supreme Tyrants do such a thing.
"don't confuse positions Rudy had to take as mayor of liberal NYC - with what he might do as president."
Well, I left open the possibility of a dramatic conversion on Mr. Giuliani's part. Should he become a pro-life, anti-homosexual marriage, pro-gun Republican, I'd reconsider my refusal to support him.
Short of that, I wouldn't vote for him for president.
As to what sort of nominees he would appoint, there are plenty of Souters and Kennedys out there. No need to appoint a Ginsburg.

Well, I respectfully disagree with you regarding Michael Barone. He is a good man and a voice to be listened to. I just hope he is wrong regarding mccain. Mccain meeting with cindy sheehan? Disgraceful.
I liked George Will's prediction better that George Allen would win the nomination and beat Hillary in the general election. That is a result that not only could I live with but would really like to see.
Rudy is for civil unions actually - at the state level - same position that Cheney has.
From our lips to God's ears! :-)
Dear oceanview,
Should the Black-Robed Usurpers overthrow the Defense of Marriage Act, would Mr. Giuliani vigorously support a Defense of Marriage Amendment?
Will Mr. Giuliani back away from this full-throated support of legal abortion on demand, including partial birth abortion?
Will Mr. Giuliani endorse Second Amendment rights, foreswearing his previous pro-gun control views?

Barone needs to get out more; the base will NEVER accept McLame!
I thought he had skin cancer? Every time I see him he looks more and more sickly, too.
McQueeg won't win the GOP primary, so none of us will have to worry about McCrazy V the Hildabeast.
NEVER EVER would I vote for him (or Hillary) so I may have to stay home.
The primaries, if they aren't bunched together too closely, allow previously-obscure candidates to become well-known. In the last 30 years several of the eventual nominees were almost unknown to the public at large a year or two before the election (admittedly, this has happened more often with the 'Rats, but no one knew in 1987 that George H. W. Bush would be the 1988 nominee of the Republicans, or in 1999 that George W. Bush would win the nomination in 2000). A candidate with a good message and a suitable personality, who is able to assemble a competent team to win the primaries, can get nominated even if his name recognition is below 5% 18 months before the general election.
