A Shift in Political Landscape Seems To Favor McCain in '08

McCain won't be trusted by either Republicans nor Democrats.

He's burned both sides too often...

[rhombus]

A whole article without the word, "Maverick"? What's next, cats and dogs voting for McCain together? I think not.

[Clemenza]

If it came between McCain and Giulaini, I would support McCain (area, you know this already, just need to say it again), only because McCain at least has a conservative voting record, and doesn't keep company with the sleazy characters Rudy the RINO does.

In any event, I would prefer Brownback, Allen, Pawlenty, and even Romney to those two Media Whores.

McCain vs. Hillary Clinton... The lesser of two evils is McCain... Either way its a blow to the conservative movement... Tom Delay in 2008! Now that would drive the liberals stark raging nuts!

[Semper Paratus]

Being a favorite of the MSM is not going to get you nominated in the Republican party.

[Dan from Michigan]

I would never vote for McCain under ANY circumstance. That includes Hillary.

[Reactionary]

Yeah. "Maverick" in this case means liberal.

And there has been no massive shift in the political landscape. The only massive shift that has taken place is in the delusional brains of journalists.

"Senator McCain of Arizona is emerging as an early favorite for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008..."

Wishful thinking by the left.

[BikerNYC]

A McCain/Rice ticket would be unstoppable (in the general election).

[saveliberty]

If he does start out as a front runner for the Republicans, all I can do is pray that he gets beat really bad after NH (all over again).

[The Toll]

For real! I know a place for them to shove that massive shift!

[Long Distance Rider]

"If it came between McCain and Giulaini, I would support McCain"
I would not! I would write in the candidate of my choice and let the chips fall where they may.

[FreedomCalls]

This is just an attempt by the MSM (who love McCain) to get him out in front of the potential Republican candidates for 2008. There was a lot of this McCain-push activity over the weekend.

[CondorFlight]

Seems like somebody in the MSM is really trying to build a fire for McCain.

Except that like Cindy Sheehan's book signing, I don't think any people are going to come to the party. . .

This just in: Zel Miller is becoming the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 20008, due to the shifting political landscape.

Really, it might as well read that way.....

"McCain vs. Hillary Clinton... The lesser of two evils is McCain..."

Evil is evil.

Has the New York Sun gone nuts? Do they suddenly think they are the New York Times?

Are we going to fix the "corruption" charges by nominating one of the Keating Five, who made a deal with clinton to get the DEA off his wife's back for stealing illegal drugs?

Are we going to fix the "war problems" by nominating a maniac who was nicknamed "Ace" by his fellow pilots because he managed to crash five of his own planes?

Are we going to satisfy the conservative base by electing the author of the "no political speech allowed except by certified members of the MSM" bill?

Are we going to satisfy the religious base by nominating a man who dumped his wife, who waited for him loyally to return from Vietnam, in favor of a rich woman who could bankroll his political career?

Are we going to nominate the man who chaired the POW-MIA committee and ensured that nothing would be done for these lost comrades because he wanted to make a pile of graft from the Communist North Vietnamese government?

I don't think so. I could say a lot more, if I thought this was likely to move forward. But I don't think the Republican Party is as suicidal as this, yet.

But I'm deeply disappointed in the Sun for running this tripe.

[babygene]

I think they should get that guy (x-Senator Fred Thompson)from the TV show to run. Everybody likes him.

[saveliberty]

I agree with you.
