Also, FTA:

McCain also needs to refurbish the image that he has sought to burnish throughout his Senate career — as a political maverick willing to buck his party on some major issues....yet he must do so without alienating, and possibly inciting a primary challenge, from the potent conservative wing of the Arizona Republican Party, which has not always been thrilled when McCain has strayed from party orthodoxy on issues such as immigration, campaign finance regulation and global climate change.

Nuts!

In otherwards McLame needs to do what he always does. Try to play both sides of the fence and crap on conservatives.

Thrilled ain’t the word for it.

John Kerry, the Massachusetts Democrat who narrowly lost in 2004 to President George W. Bush

But no doubt Zero won in a landslide?

Hey, they’re still re-electing the former boyfriend of Mary Jo Kopecne in Massachusetts every 6 years, so nothing would surprise me.

I think McCain will get a strong primary challenge. It is worth remembering that McCain did not even get 50% of the presidential primary vote in AZ, the only “top tier” candidate of either party who failed to do so. And McCain won AZ in the election with just 53.4% of the vote to 44.9% for Obama. Bush won with 54.9% in 2004. McCain is vulnerable.

*sigh* Obama’s gift to McCain. Guess “no filibusters” are the return favor he promised Obama. This just keeps getting better and better. /s

To Hell with the “minutes” of the Obama Scotus meeting. I want the ones between McCain and Obama.

American voters continue to be as stupid as they can be. Ask the average “likely voter” and that person will tell you, politicians are bad, most are corrupt, EXCEPT MY (Sentor, Congressman, etc.).

McCain is a Democrat, let him run as one.

“McCain a big break by taking his strongest potential Arizona Democratic challenger out of the picture”

That explains why McCain has been grabbing his ankles for Zero regarding confirmations. And why we will see a lot more ankle grabbing by McCain. “Straight talking” politics as usual. Oh Joy!

J. D. Hayworth is on the radio here (KFYI) and doesn’t have much use for McCain. Would love to see him run.
