McCain’s not going to be POTUS.

I know it was a tough day, but his “victory speech” last night really sucked

I think McCain understands that the New Hampshire results don't mean all that much in the long run. With their open primary process they are decided largely by independents -- which is why he won in 2000 but never really had a chance in hell of getting the GOP nomination.

Heck -- didn't Pat Buchanan win New Hampshire in either 1992 or 1996?

Thanks for posting the behind the scenes material, however I don’t put much in stock w/ the Gramm mention. Gramm and McCain have been long-time friends. They have supported each others’ presidential campaigns for years, so it’s not surprising at all Gramm that would receive attention in the highly unlikely MCain presidency.

Which candidate has the most endorsements by leading conservatives?

McCain can only win in states where democrats and independents can vote in the GOP primary. He’s also almost broke, so unless he can build fundraising momentum from his NH finish (and possible Michigan win), he’s going to be in trouble come “Super Tuesday”.

Pure revisionist history. God these bloggers are such political whores. Anything is ok as long as their side wins.

McCain had nothing to do with the Surge. His plan was the Baker Commission and Americanizing the war. The Baker Commission was a creature of John McCain and Senate Republicans. It was there price they demanded of Bush for continuing to fund the war in 2006.

This current posturing is merely a cheap political ploy for McCain to flop once again on Iraq and be on the winning side.

McCain position on Iraq blows with the polling data inside the GOP. 1st he is for it, then he is for it but the execution was all wrong. Then we needed “250,000 more boots on the ground”, then the war needs a political solution since it was militarily unwinable now the Surge is working and he is trying, fraudulently, to claim it was his idea.

John McCain, The unprincipled, opportunist the corporatist Rockefeller wing of the Republican Old Boy’s club wants to run in 2008!

God save the Republic! If the GOP runs McCain color this life long Conservative activist on the bench for 2008

The McCain win in New Hampshire was a real surprize to me & probably to him as well.
