[McCain] remains suspect to them on ....tax policy and immigration controls

If one isn't conservative on the issues of taxes and border security, one simply isn't conservative.

I hate to say it, but Novak just might be right.

This has been my gut feeling for the past week or so. The "last man standing" description is a good one.

As anyone who reads my posts knows, I am one of his biggest critics on FR. But if he is the nominee, he will have my support and my vote. He is lightyears better than any RAT.

You might be right, but as of today, Fred is not “surging” anywhere. He is still in 5th place at Rasmussen. McCain has advanced to third behind Huck and Rudy.

Huck...20%
Rudy...18%
McCain.14%
Romney.13%
Fred...11%

Just saw John’s comments on the Bhutto assasination. He does sound presidential, as did Romney, in his comments. He didn’t stumble or even stop to gather his thoughts. He spat it all out and it was dead on right. Compared to any of the dims running, he is light years better. Romney didn’t stumble either. I could support either one of these guys simply because they appear to have some intelligence and the ability to handle the job.

And the people who respect the 1st Amendment and participatory politics don’t want McCain. I swore when he made CFR a priority that I was never voting for that loon again, I was hoping the restriction would just apply to his job in the Senate, but if he stays in the presidential race I’m sticking to my word.

If Novak wants him he must be telling us what Hillary wants.

It’s been ABCs matchup since Nov 2006.

Obama and Huckabee sounds like a Tom Saywer fence-painting party.

If it’s McCain, I may have to look for a new party

Try the Constitution Party. I hear they're going to have just the ticket for you!

- John (who will support the Republican nominee)

I look at this election and feel sick.

Me too, if this is the ‘best’ this nation has to offer we are in deep doo-doo.

If McScream is the republican nominee, I guess I stay home.

Bingo! McCain, Guliani, Huckabee and Romney all have problems with conservatives that are too big to ignore. Thompson will be the last man standing.

Rudy, McCain, Huckabee and Romney engage in a circular firing squad.

Fred, don’t just do something, stand there!

Who are these “conservatives” supporting McCain? Seriously, I want to know. He would be as big a disaster as Huckabee would if nominated. Let’s review...McCain-Feingold, working with Kennedy to help illegal immigrants, Keating 5, Gang of 14, questionable mental stability, and on and on and on. No real conservative would ever support McCain!

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

In this poll Hunter is up 3% and even with Paul and Thompson.

My thoughts exactly. NEVER liked McCain, but I will not stay home and let Hillary or Obama win by default. God forbid.

After Keating, McCain-Feingold and the Gang of 14?
