Political Punch

Those that think McCain's campaign is in trouble because of his strong stand on the War are simply wrong. All of the GOP candidates for President share McCain's strong support for the War. The reason the wheels are coming off of the bus of McCains' presidential bid is all the other things he has gotten wrong: The Gang of 14, Immmigration, Tax cuts, etc., as well as his amazing ability to attack and alienate almost every group of the GOP base.

phillygirl64 - What is factually wrong with what I said?

You mean there was ever any straight talk?..Looking for straight talk from a politician is like looking for apples on a lilac tree..you're not going to get any.

oh, spock...your arguments are just so...illogical

My own personal opinion is that none of the current Republicans who have either entered the race or have announced their possible intentions to run (i.e. Fred Thompson & Newt Gingrich) will eventually garner the nomination for President. Super Dooper Tuesday will guarantee a split of the delegates such that no one will have the majority of the delegates for the first ballot of the Republican National Convention. After the second and possibly even a third ballot, the delegates will finally throw their support for Dr. Condoleezza Rice as the Republican nominee for President. As for her running mate, I would love for her to select Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT). Now that would a very strong Republican ticket!

Lowest form of government in years! New Uncle Sams Slogan " DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO!

If McCain became President, one of his top priorities would be trying to push through his amnesty bill. Most conservatives hate his amnesty bill, and because they know he'd again try to push it through, there is no chance at all of his getting the nomination. None. That's not going to change. McCain's presidential campaign is over.

If anyone (including McCain himself) thinks otherwise, that person is experiencing a "misaligned reality".

Oh by the way the Democratic Congress is at the lowest Pol rating ever for that branch at 16% WHY you ask for trying to stab our troops in the Back.

Support our Troops and give them what they need to Win!!! Actions are more then Words Reid! Clinton! Obama! Stop saying you support our troops and then stabbing them in the back to make Soro's happy!

Sept 11, 2001 is not a Bumper Sticker Edwards!

The current President has made the strongest Economy ever, Lowest Unemployment ever. Even with the Do nothing Democrats!!

Save Our Constitution Re-Call Democrats Congress!! Get rid of the Lib Treasonist!

Barack Obama your right but then that knocks out Barack Obama from being President or any other Liberal.

Guilliani can not have McCain as his running mate if he get the nomination, that ticket would not win. See the problem is that McCain has abandoned the Core beliefs of the Republican Party / Conservative, it is not that they abandoned him.

If Rudy gets the nomination, he will need to pick a strong conservative as his running mate.

McCain should stop acting like a Democrat.

chuck - This has nothing to do with Iraq, see the pols for Republicans is done with True Americans that believe we need to win World War III, unlike Libs who believe in defeat. I believe the only thing that is keeping him a little afloat is his support for our troops. Oh and supporting the Second best President in recent history is helping him. See he lost support by joining libs like Kennedy and Feinstein so please.

I will never understand Libs, if they hate this country so much why don't they leave!!

Guilianni/McCain wouldnt that just be the answer,thats like trying to cure the ills of George Bush with an over-dose.

I don't think it's over quite yet for Sen. McCain, but his fifteen minutes of fame seem to be nearing an end. His popularity has been sinking in the polls for two essential reasons: his full-body embrace of the execrable "stay-the-course" policies in Iraq, inextricably tying him to one of the most deservedly unpopular presidents in recent history; and his shameless pandering to the extreme religious right, undermining absolutely any previous efforts he put forth to cast himself as an independent thinker. Voters who look at Sen. McCain see nothing more than a warmed-over panoply of failed policies, second-rate ideas, intergovernmental squabbling, and lack of vision, and who wants more of that?

Don't feel too bad for him. If Guiliani gets the nom, it's almost a foregone conclusion that McCain will be #2 on the ticket. Notice that Guiliani and McCain throw stones at Romney, but not at each other. Also note that Guiliani stuck up for McCain in 2000 when the bible belt loons were trying to keep McCain off the ticket. Plus, McCain's a senator, while Rudy is a former mayor. Plus, McCain is from southwest while Giuliani is from the northeast. The only thing standing in the way of the Giuliani/McCain ticket is Romney.
