My impression was that it was the "rush to the center" the last two years that caused Republicans so much grief in this last election.

Karl Rove has it right, that if the Republicans want to regain their majority, they have to stick to their principles. Playing politics and treating our constituents like they're stupid will only get us into more trouble.

McCain doesn't have a shot in hell of winning.

Humorous article. The 'race to the center' means run to the left in reality. It didn't work for McCain before why should it work now?

So Al consulted his crystal ball and this is his prediction.

I guess it all depends on which conservatives face him in the primary. I consider McCain a hawkish Democrat.

I'd certainly hope we can do better than that.

D'Amato campaigned for Eliot Spitzer this year against the nominee of his own party. That should tell you about what kind of man he is.

A Republican who campaigns for Democrats now supports McCain.

...image of Bush "flying over" New Orleans in a helicopter...out of touch with the American people

What drivel!!

In the early days of a disaster - natural or otherwise - the presence of the POTUS on the ground just adds to the headaches of the rescuers.

IIRC President Bush made several visits to the Katerina effected area in the following weeks.

d'Amato is not the world's smartest political genius. Sees everything through a very narrow NY focus.

I have little doubt McCain will be the nominee.

He's built the org and passed around the money already.

Of course McCain will be running right to pick up the dissafected liberty voters alienated by compassionate big government conservatism.

Three predictions if McCain is the 2008 GOP nominee:

1) The media will run 24/7 stories about his age and history of health issues.

2)McCain will suddenly become a "hard-right" conservative in MSM and DNC hit pieces.

3) Military service, which was oh-so-important to the DNC when Kerry was the nominee, will become irrelevant to the MSM and the Democratic Party. It will be all about "who cares most for the children" again, like when Bubba ran against H.W. Bush and Bob Dole. And McCain will be painted as the second coming of The Grinch.

Old news/rumor.

It goes like this: Cheney resigns due to health reasons, McCain is put into the veep office and runs for Prez.

Former GOP Senator Al D’Amato said Republicans will "race to the center” in 2008

How many times does it have to be shown that liberals will vote for the real Democrat instead of a Republican acting as a Democrat every time?

They need to learn a lesson and return to their roots, and we should make sure the big government types are defeated in the primaries.

Sen. John McCain will be the man to lead them there.

Not if I can help it.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. - H. L. Mencken

[E]lections amount to no more than choosing between the scum that floats to the top of the barrel and the dregs that settle to the bottom. - L. Neil Smith

Giving power and money to Congress is like giving liquor and car keys to teenage boys. - P.J. O'Rourke

Compromise is: getting rid of your principles a little bit at a time. - Patrick Lear
