No he won't. If she gets the nod....McCain should start writing his concession speech.
You are correct. McCain is in big trouble. We have a president of our party with a 30 % approval rating, and an unpopular war, an economy heading south, a party supporting a very unpopular trade policy and just the fact that the Repubs have held the White House for eight years is going to make this a very tough race for any Republican.
If we had a good candidate, we might have a chance. However, McCain is a terrible candidate. He looks as old as the crypt keeper, he is linked to an unpopular president and an unpopular war, he will lose.
