Mccain is history. When you side with the bush crime family you also go down just as bush is going down. How in the world is bush/chaney not impeached???

Gee Mark. Better watch out for the helicopters.

McCain is a great patriot and rightful defender of the Nation's need to win in the Middle East! His demise as a presidential nominee is more a function of the fact his time has passed politically, not because of his principled beliefs!

Ron Paul needs media coverage!!!!! I'm tired of the press constantly marketing candidates that are simply drones. Time is overdue to try something completely different. It's RP for me!!

To the guy who said "Ron Paul will win it all!!!"...

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain is history because the base didn't support him. Think immigration, immigration, immigration. He is also a senator. Senators micro-manage everything and are often poor delegators. He was over-hyped by the once friendly national media as well, but that romance is over.

Henry has nailed it. The BDs liberals are truly an embarrassment. Bush has done nothing to warrant impeachment--his dad not lie under court oath either. there is no proof he knew the CIA intelligence on WMD in Iraq was faulty and being slow to aid Katrina is no impeachable. The State should have done a better job. Sorry, but the libs hatred leads them to illogical conclusions.

George said "When you side with the Bush crime family you are going down?" Side with them on WHAT? McCain is one of the biggest mavericks in the GOP and has clashed with the President tons of times. The only things he has been with GWB on high profile wise are immigration (Where he pushed Bush to an idea more in line with the Dems, and to fight the GOP on it) and the war. (Which has to be won, lest Iran and Al Queda get Iraq and have a shot into places like Saudi Arabia and Jordan as well - Which needs to be stopped by sticking things out there.) Also, calling the Bushes a "crime family" is funny, I don't recall GWB pardoning Marc Rich, who made money off selling Iranian oil while they held the US Embassy people hostage, or making money off shady Arkansas land deals or cattle futures. Take the blinders of and face reality. Bush doesn't run a crime family, and McCain and Bush have never been the biggest partners or buddies anyway.

2 main reasons McCain has run out of steam:

1. Can't get right-wing base voters out because of immigration.
2. Lost excitement with independents and moderates for so many reasons (Iraq, support of Bush in 2004, etc etc etc)

I actually look up to him for immigration, but can't get past these reasons for the campaign meltdown.

I used to be a fan of McCain and the straight talk express until he appeared on The Daily Show and John Stewart asked if he was going to "the dark side" (right of right) and he said "I think so". At that point he jumped the shark to me. I had no more respect for him as a political figure. He had literally sold out. I almost feel sorry for him now, the party that says wait your turn, if you are a white man you will get your shot at the presidency. And he waited his turn and the party turned their back on him. When he turned his back on the independents he sent the final nail into the coffin that was his presidential hopes.

McCain lost steam because of one word: immigration. He is running for the nomination of the wrong party.

As an Arizona Republican and former supporter, I believe Senator McCain began losing his home base when he played cute with the possiblity of running with Senator John Kerry in the last election. Now he's really through due to his failure to get tough on illegals crossing the Arizona border, our biggest state issue.

I liked John McCain for some time now, but when he caved into the Bible Thumping "base," hauling his sorry butt to Bob Jones University, that ended it for me. He lost his credibility at that point, as he decided to buy into the very group that has hijacked the Republican Party. I can not register for any other party in WA State now except Republican or Democrat. They don't have the option for Independant after the two main political parties got it removed from the voters ability to pick from three options. I am N OT voting Republican until the Bible thumping fools are thrown out of control of what was a great party. McCain is toast due to his own undoing folks. It's a sad fact, but it has been clear for several months that that is the way it's turned out. It was his own fault I feel.

McCain was arrogant, he supposedly was all for "Straight Talk" then tried to sneak the immigration bill through and have it voted on before many Senators would have had time to even read about it. He was blindsided by the response of his co-Senators to the outrage of their constituents because McCain is so use to ignoring the wishes of the people of Arizona.

I notice some of the conservative comments are being deleted. LOL. Way to go ABC. Of course comments calling Bush a "crime family" remains. Left wing media all the way.

McCain tried to give his country away to the 3rd world....not a big vote grabber to the conservative base.

John McCain: "Read my lips: No New Illegal Immigration!" You are a decent guy but dumb as a bag of hammers...

I wish I could muster some pity for the man but, well, he was just so deceitful. And getting cozy with Ted Kennedy lost him a lot of credibility. He scored well in the polls this Spring because his name was recognized, the others were virtual unknowns, and he had the "inevitable factor" going for him. The Amnesty deal made people take notice of who he really was: a RINO of the worst kind. Hillary should take a lesson here. It's ain't over until the final pitch.

McCain's Amnesty bill killed his campaign. There is no recovering from that disaster. He should just get out, the sooner the better for everyone, especially for him.

It's not a question of image. This is not 2000. Those who are saying he just has to get back to his "rebel" roots lack understanding of what's going on in 2008, when there are actually real issues on the table, issues that make peoples blood boil.

If McCain were elected President this time, he would again try to sneak through his Amnesty bill. The Republican base abhors his Amnesty bill, and so they're not going to vote for him Not ever. It's that simple.

McCain now is caught in a "misaligned reality", and he's swimming around in circles in it, trying to chase the tail of 2000, when there were no real issues on the table and the race was about image. That's not the way things are in 2008. 2008 is about the Iraq war and about Amnesty for 12 million illegal aliens. He loses on both, overwhelmingly.

This new Florida poll by ARG shows it's over for McCain in Florida. In a month he has dropped down to 7%, which is a drop of 11% points. If it's over for him in Florida, it's over for him everywhere.

From RealClearpolitics on the poll: "On the Republican side, Fred Thompson has closed the gap with Giuliani considerably in the ARG survey while McCain has dropped well behind:

Republicans
Giuliani 33 (+2 vs. last poll in May)
Thompson 27 (+14)
Romney 12 (+1)
McCain 7 (-11)***
Gingrich 3 (-5)
Undecided 13 (nc)"
