I refuse to believe that our choice is going to be McCain. He's the choice of the MSM because they know he's a sure loser to Hillary, but he doesn't have to be the Republicans' choice. The MSM doesn't vote in Republican primaries, the base does. That's us. NO WAY McCain gets the nomination.
I have a different take, LNV. The press wants to choose the person on our side because they don't want a real conservative. They would, of course, love to have Hillary, but they could live with McCain. They want to choose our candidate so that, whoever wins in 2008, it is someone they can stomach. If our side had a choice, we would perhaps push for them to nominate Lieberman. We, of course, don't agree with him in most areas, but in the war on terror, I think we could live with him if he won.
