The entire article describes an interesting political gamble that McCain is launching today in Florida -- by directly condeming Romney over immigration.
The fact is -- the immigration bill will probably pass ths week. Will this give McCain a political victory because he was "right" about current events?
McCain is letting Bush be the wind under his wings -- in matters where Bush has the power -- Iraq and immigration.
What do you think?

I will not vote for McCain. I don’t care who runs against him.

A counter proposal, John? How about enforcing the existing law and truly securing our borders. Easy, huh?
To: Sleeping Beauty
I think McCain is dead. Hasn't got a chance. And at this point, he is focusing his energies on destroying the Republican leader. Thanks John.
No Republican nominee should try toboost his campaign by bashing another Republican. That just helps the Dems.

"McCain is letting Bush be the wind under his wings -- in matters where Bush has the power -- Iraq and immigration." If that is McCain's strategy, he is in worse shape than I thought! It's amazing to me that McCain and Romney are spending so much energy fighting with each other, and totally ignoring the party's biggest flaw -- Rudy Giuliani.

Romney camp responds to McCain:
Governor Romney has made his priorities clear.
We must secure our borders, implement a rigorous employer verification program and ensure interior enforcement without providing a special pathway towards citizenship for those who have entered the country illegally.
"This Senate immigration bill falls short of the American public's expectations for a fair and workable solution on the problem of illegal immigration. Pressing on with a flawed approach that isn't equitable toward legal immigration is not a step in the direction towards progress.
And, being so dismissive towards the principled opposition of so many Americans is a terrible mistake.
-Kevin Madden, spokesman for Governor Romney

Beats the hell out of amnesty!

McCain once again goes after the wrong target. And again, his plane will be shot out from under him.

Good answer by Romney, bad attack by McCain, as usual.
Man, these guys should stick to attacking Dims, OBL, and their MSM mouthpieces, hard, ruthlessly, relentlessly, till they draw blood.
To: Sleeping Beauty
Well, McCain said in Iowa that if we start deporting illegals we could have riots like in France. Guess he is more scared of the illegals than the American citizen.
That tells me all I need to know about him.

Hopefully MeCain will get mad and take his immigration bill home!

It's amazing to me that McCain and Romney are spending so much energy fighting with each other, and totally ignoring the party's biggest flaw -- Rudy Giuliani. The immigration power Bush has is on the wrong side, no help to McCain on that one.
McCain has spent too many years fighting his own party and resonates with few out of the Beltway.
As far as Rooty goes, the conservatives will have to cook his goose, if you can pull him away from his next opportunity.
Its a shame the really good candidates are overlooked by the GOP.

McCain and Romney are totally ignoring the party's biggest flaw -- Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani reminds me of the class nerd who trails after the popular kids as if he was part of the "in" crowd.
The popular kids are nice guys---they just ignore the nerd's efforts to look popular.

It is rumored that Rudy is headed over to the Vietnam memorial to claim that there was no need for those 58,000+ Americans to die, and he would have prevented that war. Then he is going up to Gettysburg and tell the Pennsylvania voters that there was far too much bloodshed there, and he would have stopped that, just as he did on 9-11. Did you know that Rudy was actually in New York City on 9-11?

McVain could at least be fair and attack Duncan Hunter too. His condemnations will only help Romney and Hunter could use the help more.

No, but I did know Jon Cary served in Vietnam and won 3 purple hearts in a matter of a few months.

I’m not convinced that we won’t have them anyway.

First Purple Heart ever awarded to someone hit in his butt from ricochet effect of his own gun shot.
