This is embrassing.

I almost feel sorry for McCain. almost

John, it's time. Get out the fishing pole and cast 'em long and easy and everytime you look into the water try not to see Ted Kennedy's face.

This what happens when you allign yourself with the wrong allies.The republican party is out of touch,or maybe we are just seeing what the republican party is really about.I've heard many saying we need to do away with a dual party system,thanks republicans, you have helped in deciding which party should go.

What does Mr. McCain mean by "I'm not going to drop out"? He was never "in"!
Any chance he might have had went in the toilet along with his support for Amnesty and open borders. The American people will not tolerate either.

They always say that , right before they drop out, this guy is delusional if he doesn't drop , , he doesn't know where his support went or why , he is to far gone to hold any office if he cant figure that out.

Hi this mcain is really for the books, which means he is trying to drive the direction of the road, well, usually are does people making an accident at the end, so I guess this is basically the same procces....it just stupid after listning to all his speaches that he knows exactly what he wants, and what he says...politcily isn't he the best stranger ! And technically he wouldn't mind that they should just be busy with his disicions, if he will win, or not, he really don't care for the votes, and his future isn't in his mind to be the president of th US ! So his supporters will just hget tired 1 day.... And that's all, its rediculess to be intrupted with his speaches and etc.

Gotta hand it to him. He survived 5 years as a POW in 'Nam. A little turbulence won't do him in.

John Mccain was done as soon as he sided with the Amnesty bill.
As for Ron Paul, that guys a nut job.
Ron Paul is to busy creating bills in favor of Hemp.

mr.spindelman
Ron Paul is the last hope for this country.
What a fallacious statement, and what exactly makes him a "nut job". Your calling him names without knowing the facts shows how immature you truly are. its sad, that this mentallity is rampant in the world.
May the Lord bless brain spindelman and I pray that it is His will for Ron Paul to win.

While his campaign is imploding all around him, and Fred Thompson is about to enter the race, is this just arrogance that he still insists he is going to win in NH? Doesn't he know that voters were turned off by his imigration plan and that we are sick of these RINO'S?

McCain finished FIFTH FROM THE BOTTOM in his class of about one thousand at The Naval Academy. That says something about his judgment and his ability to understand and analyze the facts he's looking at. He's obviously a very courageous man and a true patriot, but that's different thing.

If he were elected President, he again would try to sneak through his Amnesty bill. The base of the Republican Party hates his Amnesty bill and, because they know he'd try to again sneak it through, they aren't going to vote for him. No way. It's as simple as that. He has no chance -- no matter how "energized" his organization is from "fighting from behind".

He's becoming a parody of a once serious and respected candidate. In 2000, I was for this guy. Now I'm no where near to that. Someone close to McCain should take him by the arm and walk him off the stage before his act gets even more embarrassing.

I respect McCain for his past military service. But he is wrong for wanting to reward law-breakers with USA citizenship.

Amnesty has been rewarded to illegal aliens 7 times since 1986. It is wrong and unconstitutional to reward law-breakers with USA citizenship.

to spindeleman or is it spin man?
Look at the Man's record it places him way above the fray. He is the only choice that makes sense Ron Paul 08. even the odds makers are backing him 15/1 get a clue he's the peoples choice not the mainstream media or the mindless who will remain clueless and vote for who they our told to.

These latest headlines regarding McCain and his campaign have NOT been favorable at all. Knowing how the MSM loves to spin these out-of-context quotes, I held off judgement on McCain until I could watch his full conversations from which these snips were gleaned.

I now believe McCain is done. My husband and I are registered Independent voters from NH, and while we hadn't planned on voting for McCain, his armed service/POW experience certainly placed him ahead of Giuliani, Romney, Obama, Hillary Clinton... Until he signed blood-brother contracts with Bush and Cheney. Talk about a poison pen.

Regardless of our compartmentalized respect for McCain, it still did not elevate him above our favorite congressman, Ron Paul. We now believe Ron Paul has much better odds to win the Republican nomination, and we will be sending even more donations to Dr. Paul's campaign.

I love how people refer to the "amnesty bill" as if using political catch phrases fed to them by demogagues demonstrates analysis.

McCain is the best candidate in the field. He makes his decisons based on what he thinks is best for his country, not on what is best for his political career, or some crack-pot ideology. maybe his honor will doom his chances, but at least the man has honor and an independant mind. I contunie to support and donate money.

mccain running for what? president of the veteran's club in the senate.

he is a dishonest man.

mccain and edwards should run together on the never-will-be independent ticket.

Ron Paul is older than John McCain and believes in conspiracy theories like the latest that our government is about to attack us again. I thought idiot liberals (David Obey's words not mine) were looney but now we have Republicans (probably RINOS) following the same mantra. Al Qaeda loves you guys. Heaven help the rest of us who still have our marbles!

McCain and Lindsey Graham can go to Disney World together after they both lose, not only the White House, but their Senate seats as well. I'd vote for Hillary before I'd vote of Graham again. He is the worst RINO ever.

He can go ahead and run for president in Mexico, he caters to their ever need in our country alone. What a joke, good bye, the POW thing has long been warn out and his liberal views go against the code of the Republican party anyway. The Republicans are screwed up enough as it is, hopefully he will retire to a house in Acapulco or Cozmel on all the money he has received from La Raza and other pro Illegal immigrant groups.

Conservatives are the RINOS. Remember when y'all handed the election to Bill Clinton when you "stayed home" in 1992? Thanks for that RINOS.

mccain is toast. actually, that's not true. he never really entered the race. john mccain is like the spruce goose. old, clunky, and not about to fly ever again. excuse my while i put on my "surprised" face. as for all three of ron paul's supporters who are spamming this forum, i say "keep up the good work!" the more you talk about a wackjob like paul, the more people are going to look right past him at the candidates who are actually viable.

the man to watch is mike huckabee. what litle support mccain has is going to have to go somewhere. he will be 4th place very soon.

In 1998, while running for his senate seat in Arizona, Mccain said that he was not interested in running for the presidency. The press had asked him if he would just be using his seat as a springboard to the whitehouse. He assured us, the voters of Arizona, that he only wanted to represent this state. He has never represented us. He has missed almost fifty votes in a row. We now know that it is all about him, and he cares nothing about the people he was elected to represent. He will go down in history as one of the most crooked senators, and an enemy of the constitution of the United States. His own state hates him, and the country is now seeing what we have known for years. John Mccain is history.

It is unbelievable how arrogant he has become. I am a registered AZ voter and even the Republicans in his own state will no longer vote for him. He could not even get his own committeemen appointed to his district. John should have listened to the people of AZ... specifically about immigration & how they are taking over the state of AZ. I am tired of working so hard so I can pay for not only the birh of my own child but for medical care for someone that does not respect the laws, ethics, and history of America. Thank you.

mcCain will not win because he is a traitor to conservative values

Juan McCain might try to run for president of Mexico. He’s very popular there.

I'm voting for John McCain, so stay in John. Go John Go!!!! Pete

They say the only cure for presidential fever is formaldahide. I guess thats true with McCain.
McCain needs to drink the kool-aid and give his two mill to Fred T.

While I do respect his passion and his service to America, McCains stance on illegal immigration was totally misguided and short sighted. Wrong party to try that position. Aside from immigration, he just appears to be out of touch with society in general. While a long shot, Ron Paul is the only candidate on the Republican side that deserves a closer look. I was a huge skeptic until I examined a number of his ideas and arguements. He actually makes the Constitution sound like an excellent plan for government! Who'd a thought?! RON PAUL!!!

Someone wrote:

McCain will not win because he is a traitor to conservative values
This is not entirely correct. McCain, because of his support for amnesty legislation for illegal aliens, is a TRAITOR to AMERICAN values.
America needs to STOP encouraging law-breakers with the gift of USA citizenship. Start enforcing our laws now.

John McCain is fading from the campain because of 4 words:

McCain-Finegold and

McCain-Kennedy.

Campain finance reform and immigration reform. I think He might be a sign of thing to come as far as Republican politicians are concerned. The conservative base that elected alot of these guys are seeing them for what they are, self serving, out of touch elitists with liberal leanings. Now when they turn to the voters, we just don't believe them anymore. And we don't give them our votes.

McCain is delusional just like bush. We don't need another delusional leader. McCain is no longer in the race. No one is putting any money on him so he is out. Poor guy. The people voted for change and he does not represent change. What a dummy.

MCCAIN HAS FOR A LONG TIME REFUSED TO LISTEN TO ARIZONANS, HE HAS BECOME A D.C. BURRO-CRATO. MCCAIN/FINEGOLD WAS BAD ENOUGH, BUT THE MCCAIN/KENNEDY AMNESTY BILL WAS BEYOND THE PALE, AND THE LAST STRAW. HIS POLITICAL CARREER IS OVER AND HE MIGHT BE WISE TO DROP OUT NOW BEFORE IT BECOMES MORE EMBARRASSING. HE IS NOT EVEN ELECTABLE IN AZ ANYMORE. ADIOS!

I WROTE MANY,MANY LETTERS TO HIM OVER THE YEARS--NO REPLY. I AND PROBABLY 200 AZ CONSERVATIVES HAVEN'T VOTED FOR HIM FOR YEARS.

McCain, Obama, Rudy, Clinton, it does not matter. Unfortunately it took segregationist Governor Wallace to reveal the truth that "there's not a dime's worth of difference between" Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, suspension of Habeas Corpus, opening mail, banning books like "America Deceived' from Amazon, stealing private lands (Kelo decision), warrant-less wiretapping and refusing to investigate 9/11 properly. They are both guilty of treason.
Support Dr. Ron Paul and end this madness.

McCain has always been the MSM's favorite lapdog since he loves to bash other Republicans. For awhile he attempted to convice the Republican base that he was one of them. Then he reminded every what he really was by siding with Kennedy on the border issue. McCain never was in the race because at some point he was bound to show his base what he truely is, a Democrat in Republican clothing. He will not get to the general election where his left wing friends would vote for him because first he would have to get past the primaries, and that will not happen.

McCain has about as much chance of becoming the next president of this great country as two term former President Bill Clinton has, due in large part to his and Sen. Kennedy’s immigration reform (amnesty) bill.

Their efforts to get the bill into law were akin to DATE RAPE,” WE KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY WANT, SHUT UP AND ENJOY “. What a shock it must have been to McCain and his kind in congress that so many us finally stood up and raised our collective voice in opposition.

McCain should quit now. He's done and could not think well for the American taxpayers. What surprises me is that Kennedy should be done too.

To all cyber-space Ron Paul supporters - I can hardly wait for the Ron Paul Howard Dean Scream event coming soon.

McCain has been right on only one issue, the Iraq war. He's be wrong on everything else. His amnesty bill would have destroyed America and the Republican party. His McCain/Feingold bill crippled free speech during elections, at least until the Supreme Court stepped in. Except for the war issue, McCain is a liberal who want to become the Republican nominee for President. McCain has become a joke.

McCain is space out. A dangerous disease contracted from IMMIGRITIONATIS. American taxpayers does not that disease cured. He should be quarantine in Mexico.

to respond to lindy:

"To all cyber-space Ron Paul supporters - I can hardly wait for the Ron Paul Howard Dean Scream event coming soon."

ron paul won't have enough people at his rally to scream at. it's kind of hard to scream at 5 people. anyone ever heard of an inside voice?

I highly respect Mr. McCain, but he admitted that his people were spending too much money in his campaign. Ron Paul has over 2.5 million on hand and he is very prudent with his money. You will not see him waste money. The other campaigns run their organizations just like big government.

John Mcain looks like don carlione the god father. He is the mirror of the great white king George Bush. He will never get elected following a loser like lil bush. Republicans might as well sit out 2008 thru 2012. They are done. It immigration mcain not homosexual marrage.

McCain has lost his niche. The independents and the base dont trust him. In 2000 identifying a McCain supporter was not difficult. In 2007 identifying a McCainiac isnt possible. What do they believe? Where are they?

McCain isnt worth our time. He couldnt beat Hillary in the general race anyway.

He's let Arizona get totally messed up
so he wants to ride the coat tails of
the mess Bush has left behind, too?
Get the illegals out of Arizona and
fix the problems there first, McCain!
No one feels sorry enough for you that
you were a Viet Nam POW to elect you
president and I'm from YOUR generation.

I say NO!

Yeah, right - how about "you'll not win". Is he on drugs? Anyone who wants to vote for someone that is willing to make our country a third world and all for an open border policy needs to be tried for treason. And this dope needs a nice long rest at the Sunshine Retirement Home with Sophia Potrillo.

John McCain is a joke. When I saw him host Saturday Night Live a few years ago I knew he was just another political like Arnold, (Maria's husband.) The amnesty bill arrogance and condecention that was revealed put a total end to his political future. He is famous for one thing-being shot down and captured by the North Vietnamese. He was a stand-up guy during the captivity, but how does that make him a war hero? He has spent all the POW credit he ever had. He is done.

Certainly McCain is astute enough to read the writing on the wall. He had nothing to offer in 2000 and has even less now. Who was the last Senator elected president anyway?? Kennedy? Our Senators are probably the most 100 deluded and out of touch with reality people in our country. Can anyone think of any good legislation that originated in the Senate and in the White House during thje Bush presidency.

Ron Paul is technically a Republican but actually, he is a Libertarian which means he supports gay marriage, abortion, gun control and everything else that is destroying American Families and our way of life.

As far as McCain goes, he was finished before he even got started in my book. Another whiner loser from the 2000 election (worst than Al Gore). He brought us McCain/Fiengold which was a slap in the face on the 1st Amendment and McCain sided with the Kennedy Amnesty Bill which would have made us support over 12 million ILLEGAL ALIENS. He also voted against both Bush Tax Cuts. Neither man will get my vote.
Fred Thompson - 2008!!!

McCain is studying as to which direction he should move, more to the right; to the left; or move to the center. I submit, that is not his problem. McCain should resurrect the 'Straight Talk Express' that he abandoned trying to justify the Iraq policy and 'suck up' to the Bush 'hard core' conservatives. You are barking up the wrong tree McCain. You have been disappointing those who believed in you. They did not leave you, you left them.

Doing a little research, I came across this post from last summer.

He is still standing, isn't he?
