As of right now, I'd back McCain too.
He's not my favorite, but he's actually pretty good, and nowhere near deserving of the hatred he gets here.
And intellectually honest people will admit, he'll win easily. You simply can't say that about any other potential nominee.
My #1 priority for 2008 is to make sure Hillary/Feingold/Richardson/Kerry isn't 'protecting' us against the islamofacist. All other concerns are secondary.
If it looks like we'll win nomatter who we nominate, I'd probably say Allen or Owens, if he should run.
(Or Jeb, but that's just not happening)
what's the deal with Owens? Is he 100% not going to run?
For McCain-Feingold, he deserves the undying emnity of any one and everyone who cherishes liberty.
He is also, IINM, the author of the tobacco settlement bill. He is a POS and a maniac that shouldn't be anywhere near the Oval Office, not even to visit.
He's still the Manchurian Candidate as far as I am concerned.
I sure hope it doesn't come down to that...
