This is a nice list. Of course it does not mention the elephant sitting in the room, but abracadabra is so empty mckennedy won’t have to.
It is one thing to hate mccain, but it is just wild swinging foolishness to think he won’t beat obama. He will. If this was Sept. the ratmedia MIGHT have a chance to cover for obama’s emptiness, but it aint and they can’t. The older people will begin to ask questions by the summer and the youth vote, you know the people who showed up in huge numbers to elect president algore and president frenchie, will come out just as strong as they did before.

If Obama is the nominee, McCain is a dead man walking. More than 60% of the American people are against the Iraq war; McCain's vote against the Medicare prescription drug program will be used against him; many conservatives will not vote for him due to McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, and McCain-Lieberman; and the stark picture of the oldest man ever nominated [first time] for President [71 years old and 72 by inauguration day] who has been in Congress for more than a quarter of a century going up against a young, vigorous 46 year old will sink McCain. It will be about the past versus the future, the Washington establishment versus change. Forget about other issues like the Keating Five, his less than stellar treatment of his first wife, etc. or the difficulty of a party retaining the WH for a third term, especially after Bush whose approval ratings are in the 30s.

Prior to last Tuesday’s voting, McCain had won only 31% of the total primary vote and had become the “presumptive” nominee of the party. What party is stupid enough to nominate its maverick as the standard bearer? Answer: the GOP. McCain gamed the system and won. We will pay for it in November.

but it is just wild swinging foolishness to think he won’t beat obama

No, it is serious rational consideration of the current political situation in the country and a mature acknowledgment of the personalities and the politics involved.

Simply posting over and over "he will win" is the projection of desperation and fear of the poster onto reality.

Loyalty to a candidate is a fine thing. Blind feverish fanatic adoration of a candidate is not.

VERY difficult for any party to win the WH 3 years in a row. Stevension could not in 1952, Nixon could not in 1960, Humphery could not in 1968, Ford could not in 1976, Gore could not in 2000. The only one to pull it off, Bush 1, road Reagan's legacy in 1988.

Think McCain can ride Bush 2 legacy in 2008?

McCain, old, tired nearly broke 25 year DC insider who is going to be going against an articulate, smooth, 1 term Senator who is out slicking the Clintons in spreading the "Agent of change" BS.

McCain is going to get outspent about 7 to 1. He is going to be running with a depressed base against highly energized Democrat base who see in 2008 their 1st chance to control all 3 branches of Govt in 14 years.

The media is going to be screaming, fraudulently, about the Economy "being in recession" this fall. Obama alone is currently receiving MORE votes in his primaries then all the Republican Candidates combined. etc etc etc etc

Republicans should be working like mad to elect as many Congress critters as possible. It will be their only hope to derail any part of the Leftist freight train baring down on us.
