Arizona senator John McCain could win the 2008 presidential election in the United States, according to a poll by Zogby International. 52 per cent of respondents would vote for the Republican in a head-to-head contest against Democratic New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In 2000, McCain won seven GOP presidential primaries in the U.S., but retired from the race after eventual nominee George W. Bush became the frontrunner.
Rodham Clinton was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000, defeating Republican Rick Lazio by 12 per cent. She ruled out a presidential bid in 2004. 37 per cent of respondents would vote for the Democrat, while 11 per cent would back other candidates or remain undecided.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.

Excellent! I'm sure they will allow me to view it. ;*)
Thanks! Great stuff.
John McCain is a RINO pure and simple .
A Republican that is on such friendly terms with the Establisment Press and Popular Media as McCain is,
cannot be anything but a liberal Democrat in GOP clothing !
Senator McCain has not helped the GOP cause, one iota in the last 17 years .
His 'campaign finance reform' was a bogus issue and the McCain-Feingold Act has only helped the Dems in campaign funding .
John McCain does not deserve to be our nominee !
I do not think he ever will be elected president .
