I agree with you somewhat there. The MSM, like McCain when is used as a foil against Bush and the GOP. If McCain was to be the nominee, they would turn on him and he would probably get alot of outbursts caught on camera.
That’s a large part of my point. I don’t care to criticize McCain’s VietNam experience at all but I am not happy about his S&L exposure and his positions are decidedly mixed. 21st century media manipulation will crunch him, plus he’s not all that desirable a candidate from the conservative viewpoint in the first place. IMO, which is not authoratative by any means because I am not 1/100th the political junkie that many/most seem to be on FR. Running McCain is just running a mediocre candidate and HRC will kick his butt.
