I live a couple blocks from McCain's office and got a call from his campaign. Their entire argument was "you don't want Hillary to be president, do you?"

His supporters like a particular type of candidate: strong on defense, fiscal conservative, doesn't care much about social issues. When Guiliani came along, they decided he was a better candidate of that type, and more likely to win.

Did you tell them if not for the pink pantsuit, you'd not be able to tell them apart?

Keep an eye on him in the role of spoiler ala the bird brained Texan who ran against George Herbert Walker Bush and helped to get Klinton elected.

They are correct in that assessment. The challenge to Rudy will not be from McCain.

Something like that. Plus, if anyone is taking out Hillary, it's Obama, not McCain.

To my knowledge he is not an announced candidate. He has simply started an exploratory committee. This is not a candidate, 25 folks have done this.

"The GOP in Arizona elected anti-illegal immigration champion Randy Pullen as its state chair last month, sending a message to McCain that his moderate views would not control the GOP in Arizona. Immediately after Pullen’s election, the entire staff of the state GOP resigned, ostensibly because the candidate for state chair they saw as pro-McCain had lost."

Hoo boy. That's gonna leave a mark.

It is curious that they both have problems with temper and vindictiveness. Perhaps that goes with their political views?

They are out-of-touch. I know several conservatives who would vote for Hillary before McPain.
