You know, it's ok to be around a loose cannon until it is aimed at you. Too often, McCain has aimed the cannon at parts of the RNC: the Christian right, borders security people, military, etc. And I am talking about those shots which are apart from his stab-in-the-back actions against the President.

However, my concern about McCain goes beyond this complaint. I think he is emotionally unstable, and is unfit to be President because of that. In addition, I am dead certain the media is pushing him in order to set us up with a candidate in which they have ready-made attacks already written.

For this same reason I would not support him in the office of Secretary of Defense or Vice President.

However, if by some disaster he gets the nomination, I will support him because his cabinet nominees would be drawn from the Republicans' deep bench, instead of the leftists of the democrats. I would vote for him and pray that the people surrounding him kept him under control, and would install the VP if he got too nutso.

Well, Miss Marple, I simply don't have that same feeling about him. While I have gotten really upset with him on a few things over the years, I see him as quite calm and stable today. He's had many opportunity in the past couple of years to jump ship and crack up. But this hasn't happened.

And, beside Rudy, what other GOP potential candidate has a serious chance of defeating Hillary or any other Dem? George Allen? Forget it. Others? There is no way I'll put time and effort into getting someone nominated who has no chance of winning a national race.
