I don't like McCain either. But think I think Thompson is a whole lot like McCain.

I change hourly on who I think will win. LOL! Now for the first time I can see it being McCain.

10 months ago the only guy who could beat Hillary was Rudy G. Yet we are suppose to trust polling data 10 months in advance of a General Election to tell us who is going to "Win"? Anyone really think McCain would survive a war with Clinton Inc?

Really tough for the party in the WH to win 3 elections running. Who has a better chance beating a Democrat Senator? Another Senator or someone NOT tied to the DC political machine?

Since 1976.

Carter ran as the populist outsider against DC. Carter Won.

1980. Reagan ran as an outsider going to DC to clean up the mess. Reagan won

1984. Old Machine politician and former Senator Mondale ran by the Democrats against Reagan. Reagan won.

1988. VP running on the Reagan legacy against a DC outsider barely won.

1992 DC outsider ran against sitting President. Outsider Clinton won.

1996 Old career Senator named Dole with a stellar war record ran against Sitting President. President Clinton won.

2000 DC outsider ran against sitting President's VP, outsider Bush won by a few hundred votes.

2004 Old career Senator named Kerry with a supposed stellar war record ran against sitting President. President won.

2008. The GOP Establishment plans to run an old tired worn out career Senator with a war record against the former 1st Lady or a 1 term Senator.

Based on that historic record just WHY should I hope McCain has any chance at all against Clinton Inc?
