McCain will never get the nomination.>>>>>>>>>>>

I was a McCain supporter in the first set of primaries before the first election of W. I een piped him in at a local pubbie meeting here in VT.He wasn't a bad pubbie back then.

When did McCain change?

It was in the South Eastern Primaries , i think, North and South carolina? The Bush camp put out adds that NcCain had or would act to reduce Veteran's benefits, and that was not true, but it was enough to swing those Southern states to Bush 2 days before the primary vote in those states.

McCain has been bitter and vengeful ever since, and his sole purpose is not to win the nomination BUT to destroy the pubbie cadre that brought Dubyah forward, and open up the field to non main line candidates. I hope if McCain is successful in his attempted renovation of the pubbie party, that guys like Tom DeLay might become more viable as candidates.

I would not support McCain as a presidential candidate.He holds gudges far too long to ever be an effective President of the United States.

I doubt McPane will get the nomination.

He has all the explosive negative karma of Hillery Clinton.

I don't believe he or Giuliani could ever win enough red states to win an election, regardless of WHO the Dems put up, and you what, it wouldn't make much of difference anyway.

I intend to work actively to get Rice, Pence or Allen nominated.

If Giuliani or McPane get chosen by some quirk, I'll stay home and hope they loose, or vote for a conservative third party candidate.

I believe his assault on the Christian Right during those primaries played a bigger role in his demise.
