    thinking that he has a good shot in 2012 if McCain decides not to run again or loses in 2008 or he is young enough to run again in 2016 in the horrible scenario that McCain gets in and wins a 2nd term...

        It is the truth and we cannot hide from it (0+ / 0-)
        
        Everyone knows that John McCain and George Bush are not the same man and will not have the same administration.
        
        If we go into November with our eyes and ears closed to reality, we will face a fate worse than Mondale's run in 1984

        I'm saying we have to fight the media love for McCain and show people all around the country just how much McCain has aided and abetted Bush the last 6 years.

        Navy land and from what I am hearing John McCain's title has changed from "Senator" to "War Hero". No one has ever accused Dub'ya of being a "War Hero"

        I think he was one of the biggest Republican critics of Bush. That may not be saying much, but lumping them together is a mistake.

    Powell and I don't see eye to eye on social issues, and one of McCain's only strengths from our perspective is his stance on the war. That makes Powell worthless politically.

  Romney will never be anything, because the primaries showed he can't win anything in the South. Could be the Mormon thing, could be they just think he's a phony liberal from Taxachusetts. But whatever it is, I think it's clear that Romney is a flawed and limited candidate.

      NH is the only one with any chance of going R, and they love McCain there anyways. I think he might shore up some Western states and make Michigan more competitive, but he'd be a drag in southern states and in Midwestern states where the base is mostly evangelicals.
