Newt. The right loves Newt, just as the left loves Clinton. Newt's about six times smarter than Bill Clinton, but lacks the former president's oleaginous charisma. Could he win? Never. And probably just as well. President Newt would respond to a terrorist attack with a brilliant plan — radical, simple, old wisdom and dazzling new thinking in a brilliant synthesis. Unfortunately, it would involve time travel or orbital space lasers.

John McCain. Loved within the Beltway for his "maverick'' ways. Unfortunately, outside the Beltway, "maverick'' is defined as a tendency to stab the party in the back repeatedly, then expect everyone to pay for the blade to be resharpened. The base admires John McCain as a man; the base honors his service, both in the armed forces and the Senate. The base looks forward to his concession speech.

Woo Hoo! Best statement of McCain's chances I have read!
