You mean McCain? On Today show the other day (before McCain's book promotion appearance), Russert said McCain is straight talking maverik & conservatives had warmed to him. Then Mathews came - only McCain has credibility. Then came Howard Fineman and said McCain is the only remaining GOP hope for 2008.

Let's see. Conservatives are for McCain. Liberals like McCain. Centrists love McCain. Maveriks love McCain. Looks like McCain would come close to being elected by acclamation, in MSM's spin.

Then again, the Reality check here

McCain loses my vote on the principle of facial symmetry.

John McCain has already been treated for skin cancer, and will be 72 in 2008.

The only reason the MSM/LSM/OSM wants McCain as the GOP candidate is that he is the only Republican who can make Hillary look young in comparison. If Senator McCain ever acted like a Republican the MSM would drop him like some old guy with skin cancer.

According to this logic, there's no need for an election. Right? We'll just anoint McCain.

Great stuff again here anita!
On Hugh Hewitt's site that you quote here are the top pollers"
1. Rudy--27.5%
2. george allen at--19.8%
3.newt --13.2%
4.romney --9.3
5.undecided--8.8
6 mccain at 5.1%!!
The above proves how the msm spins and lies.Anything for their particular choices. Truth mean little to them. A conservative blog like Hewitts is much more representative than whatever bogus stats Russert et all used if they did anything other than just make stuff up.

Oh, also in your Hewit poll there was a "fantasy" vote, if you could have anyone you wanted. It went like this

condi-38.9%!!!
rudy--9.9
Bush, Cheney, allen, Thompson, Romney then mccain at 2.8%!!
This is even more revealing showing how little mccain is liked among conservatives. "No" surprised here for those well informed and not listening to msm drivel/koolaid.
