McCain has already had 2 [known] bouts with malignant melanoma. The first was in 1993. The last was in 2000. The odds are high that he will be battling it again before 2008. I don't wish this on him. I would not wish melanoma on anyone. But I think his health is and will remain a significant obstacle between him and the White House.

Is he trying to kill off the Republicans altogether by following the election news with this?

John McCain will become Bob Dole redux.

Bob Dole is a looser and John McCain will loose just like Bob Dole because the Clinton's will wipe him out!

Don't worry about John McCain getting elected because that will never happen!

Just amazing comment. As bad as McCain is, you have no idea what Hillary is capable of doing. You don't think she would shut down talk radio? She would do anything she wanted to do. What, is someone going to impeach her?

Amen. McCain's a fake. Anybody remember the Keating Five? Is it not amazing that the MSM seems to have forgotten? But then, John's their boy. If they can get him the nomination, they win either way.

It does seem like his buddies in the press are trying hard to kill off the competition early, doesn't it?

Well, it's that kind of thinking that got us into the mess we found ourselves in on Wednesday.

I couldn't possibly vote for someone who has the stink of Ted Kennedy on him ("comprehensive" immigration reform bill).

Perhaps we could find someone about 20 years younger.

I truly believe that McCain would be in 2008 what Bob Dole was in 1996 - too old, too cranky and too unlikely to win.

We need to a find some younger, solidly conservative candidates ASAP.

Strategy Could Target Swing Voters, Bipartisan Issues

"Swing" voters don't vote in Republican primaries. Am I wrong?

McCain would lose for the same reason "Brady Bill" Bob Dole lost.

Giving us a stunningly STUPID selection of RINO's to choose from in the Primaries would be signing this countries death warrent.

That is pretty old. I am not as anti-McCain as other Freepers, but the age thing makes me pause, especially since he is not in perfect health by any means. At the very least, it would bring alot of attention to his VP choice. Reagan was old, but you always got the sense that, pre-Alzheimers, he was vibrant and healthy. Not so with McCain.

What Johnny Boy fails to understand that many on the right will hold him along with Hagel, Graham and Lugar responsible for undermining President Bush on the general war on terror and the portion of it being fought in Iraq.
