“McCain could have 100% of every state in the union and he would still not get the nod.”
You keep saying that, but I don’t know what you’re basing that on. I know McCain is hated on this forum, but plenty of Average Joe GOP voters will support him. I know plenty of people that have no problem with McCain, and he does seem to be picking up momentum. He’s not a lock by any stretch, but his odds are better at the moment than Freds, and probably as good or a shade better than Mitts.
If McCain was to come unglued in the General election, the GOP would be left with no candidate and in the eyes of the public they would have been guilty of running a person with emotional issues for the highest office in the land.
Do you think that would be a wise thing for the GOP to do? Trust me, they don't.
