McCain has no chance of getting the Republican nomination. \n\nIt's the mainstream press that's crazy about him, real Republicans don't like him at all.

I'm not conservative, but kerry has been trained on what to say and how to say it.. I don't think it was a mistake, I think he's trying to throw the elections for the democrats... there must be big money in it to be a skull and bones buddy with bush.

He hasn't got a shot in hell of being supported by the far right wing.  He's pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and acted shamelessly during his trashy divorce.  Wow, will the right wingers love this guy?  Hardly.  Personally, I think the guy's not so bad, but the question is not if liberals like him or the ultra-conservatives will like him, but will moderates like him for the job?  Moderates have come back into their own and gave the House and Senate back to the Democrats.  It's really going to be up to them I think.

I thought he was great in the 2000 primary. Then Rove & Co. hammered him after he trounced Bush in NH. Since then McCain seems to have lost that authenticity that he had on the "straight talk express". I long for the "old" McCain.

Although John McCain is the nemesis of the neo-con branch of the Republican party, he still has the best chance of winning the primary. Condi isn't a serious contender and aside from her present "gig" doesn't have enough experience in governance to be taken seriously. Guiliani might have been a contender, but his personal piccadillos will have him raked over the coals in a primary (i.e., married three times and cheated on his second wife while still mayor of N.Y.) Can you see the red state voters, with their fondness for family values, voting for Guiliani? Therefore, McCain stands out as a front runner since he's pretty "clean" morality wise and has the gravitas to lead the nation.

I am very Democrat, but I will say I like John McCain, and I can't believe he didn't get the nomination before. He seems to be a man of integrity who really seems to have the interest of Americans at heart. I wouldn't be too opposed to him, but I'd have to see who else was running, of course.

I think he really screwed up here.  What he did is a career ender, no matter what party it came from.  Lets face it, the Republicans weren't/aren't doing much to help their standing, but thanks to Mr. Kerry (which he will remain, Mr. that is) they didn't need to.  Now they need to run with it.  \n\nAlso, this thing with Kerry refusing to appologize to the troops and the military, I guess he wants to take the express train out D.C.  I didn't vote for him to 2004, and if he thinkns that he's going to get any votes in 2008, he's nuts!!  The military is one of those things that you just don't mess with.  The American People may not stand behind the leaders of the Military, but they do stand behind the troops.  After all, the troops are our Sons and Daughters.  Some of the smartest people in the nation work in and with the military.  By insulting the people who are defending our freedom, Kerry has doomed himself to an eternity of nothing.

it could be pivotal...karl rove has pretty much abandoned the idea of trying to pick up moderate voters, deciding that the gop can stay a permanent majority by pandering to the base...it could well backfire...

Not in Bay county, but yea...I see 'em. People take the statements for fact instead of researching....his voting record is bad??...True, but only the last year, while he.......and every republican on the ticket......has been campaigning!!!!!\nOnly 3 bills passed??? True, but he only put 5 out there, and voted WITH the republicans to pass their bills that made sense....republicans don't mention that, do they!!???

I am so with you. I'm in Fl, and the big race is for Governor Race. Jim Davis-D v. Charlie Christ-R\n\nCharlie Christ is running an add super negative saying that Davis has a really low attendance record in Congress.\n\nIn the ad, an empty chair runs back and forth on the screen and across the street in front of the capital, and then it shows a family on vacation in D.C. from FL, "looking for their congressman" , "where is he?" and then the empty chair comes flying in front of them. \nIt is absolutely hysterical. Every time my 10 year old daughter sees it, she just cracks up laughing.\n\n******Note: I did my research on Davis, and the funniest thing is, that Davis has a 93% attendance record in Congress, which is really strong. His abscences were just of late, when he started running for Governor. Prior to his campaign, his attendance was up to 96%. I laugh at the commercial, but will still vote for him because I can look past the ads. I wish more people would research instead of believe what they see on these ads.

Watching McCain go from standing up to Bush to kissing his butt, I wouldn't vote for him. It tells me he is just another politician with his own agenda and willing to try to please the Republican masses to get elected. Now that the elections are over I expect him to return to his own middle of the road stance. When a person goes from one extreme to the other I have to question their integrity.

It is true that 51% of this country is brain dead, bought his bullshi t lock stock and barrel, there are still in the neighborhood of 27% that have not recovered from it as they still support him. I can't immagine anybody voting for him. But bottom line is anybody still supporting him is BRAIN DEAD

Because of people like Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi , Hillary& Reid the liberals are lieing low until arter the election. GW fears no one & he is out there fighting for his idears (right or wrong) I like some one who holds on to his idears no matter how some people feel about them. At least he is not wishey/ washey like some people. What he said yesterday he will say tomorrow.The polls do not change his mind.

I don't think it was a tactic because I've never known any republican to sacrifice himself for any cause...whether it be good or evil....they are generally self serving....having said that, although I don't think it was a tactic to get the pedophile vote, I think the republicans may have just gained some new voters.
