Good gawd. I hope he's the best that they can come up with. If Kerry was a flip flopper, McCain is Jekyll and Hyde.

McCain will be more beatable than a red-headed stepchild. I hope they run him.

1. I think the only ones who really think he's formidable
is the media echo chamber. The fundies sure don't want him.

5. Your post would make me feel a whole lot better
if I saw people thinking for themselves a little more often, and not simply adopting what they hear in the 'echo chamber' as their own opinion.

But 'from your mouth to god's ear' just the same.

4. Media Creation.

It's that simple.

And if he gets close, which I could care less except that that scumbag could actually win, the whore media will take special delight in tearing him down for a bush* clone or worse.

6. Maybe if he becomes the Repug candidate, we can go back and
pull all the crap the bush had to say about him...

8. Who knows...
According to the CNN exit poll, McCain won Arizona's self-described Democratic vote 52-47 in 2004.

Democrats and liberals hold him in mythical status. In a long presidential campaign, though, we would be able to dispel some of the liberal myths about McCain.

He's no Maverick. He's a Neo-Con Hawk.

Plus, he's going to be 72 years old in 2008. If he can get past the frothing Iowa Republicans, he'll have a hard time winning... Even if Giuliani is his Veep.

Wes Clark could take him. ;)
