He may just be right. When did McCain start "pandering" to us? Did I miss something?

three presidential losers, Walter Mondale in 1984, Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004, Wait a minute, I thought Gore won, no?

This guy thinks Obama would win if he were nominated. How good can his predictive abilities be?

Is the author on drugs? He says McCain has been pandering to the Republican base? I guess in Lib-speak pandering means insulting.

Lobbying for Mitt Romney as McCain’s VP should replace McCain bashing on FR.
It would be more productive. And it might just work.

"Heres hoping McManics one of those 2 month presidents like we had back in the 1800s, and that hes picked a good VP." I don't wish anyones demise, but I'm still pulling for Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter, JC Watts or Jim DeMint.

I agree that John McCain will be our next President. Now he needs to stop with the squeaky clean tactics and let Obama’s/Clinton's negatives rise. He doesn't need to push dirt himself but he does need to stop stepping on valid negative stories. Obama can't win and neither can Clinton.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
....Clinton, would use every trick in Karl Rove's playbook, including the race card, to stop Obama's juggernaught.Obama hasn't even lost yet, but this author blames his loss on Karl Rove... tsk

McCain will win IF he gets back on his Straight Talk Express and distances himself from the befuddled Bush. While this will displease the political right, hatred of all things Clinton will keep them in the Arizonan's camp. McCain's problem is that he's off to a slow start by pandering to the shrinking GOP base. Perhaps wiser hands will steer him back to the middle after the Minneapolis convention. This must be where old Dick took a giant suck off his crack pipe.

> Clinton not only has taken the luster out of the once-sparkling Obama, she has managed to amplify her already negative image.
Half right. Clinton didn't take any luster from Obama.
He did that all by himself.
And Clinton managed to screw up without any help at all.
>McCain's problem is that he's off to a slow start by pandering to the shrinking GOP base.
LOL! Okay, that is downright funny. And stupid.
>Thanks to Clinton's blunt attacks and Obama’s gaffes, the luster is off the Illinois senator who now apparently is running out of steam.
Obama is what he is and there is no hiding it.

(I will vote for McCain if he resigns his Senate seat before this election.)
To: 2ndDivisionVet
If Obama gets the Dem nomination, Bill and Hillary will work behind the scenes to defeat him (while nominally supporting him publicly). Why? So she can say “I told you so” when she runs again in 2012.

If the 1980 Jimmy Carter-Ted Kennedy primary contest taught us anything, it's that a party divided upon entering a national convention will lose. Faulty analysis. Reagan would've annihilated Carter no matter how united the Dems were.

This guy’s analysis is as warped as his political ideology. McCain panders to the economically ignorant, enviro-nuts, and...well...whoever he thinks will believe him at the moment.

Notice that this “leftie from Marin County” includes all the cheap shots that can be taken at President Bush, Karl Rove, etc., that are scripted in the D’crap’s talking points. In a nutshell, the Democrats are giving their party a choice between two losers, Obama and Clinton, before the nominating convention gives the nation one. Either way, they put up another loser. I love tradition.

What I had not predicted was Obama's rise. Nor did I ever expect that Hillary and Bill "the first black president" Clinton, would use every trick in Karl Rove's playbook, including the race card, to stop Obama's juggernaught. Takes naiveté to a whole new level.
I'll be writing the author and asking him exactly where the race card is in Rove's playbook.

My bet on Clinton is based more on gut than brain.In one sentence this author has managed to summarize their entire liberal mindset, democratic party, their supporters and their candidates.
