Unlikely but pretty freaking crazy. As this article points out:

McCain's proposal to kick Russia out of G-8 is bold and unlikely

John McCain dropped a little-noticed bombshell into his March foreign-policy address: Boot Russia from the G-8, the elite club of leading industrial democracies whose leaders try to coordinate economic policies.

One major problem: He can't do it because the other G-7 nations won't let him.

But the fact that he's proposing to try, risking a return to Cold War tensions with the world's second-largest nuclear power after 20 years of prickly partnership, raises questions about McCain's judgment. It also underscores that many of his top foreign-policy advisers are of the same neo-conservative school that promoted the war in Iraq , argue for a tougher stance toward Iran and are skeptical of negotiating with North Korea over its nuclear program.

I've got to say- I called it. I'm in a microeconomics class this semester in college, first economics course I've ever taken; but the moment I saw the first news story about John McCain's tax cuts, I knew something was fishy about the whole idea. Though I support Obama, it was before McCain and Clinton were both for it, and Obama was against, that I brought it up in the class and said that I thought it was a huge mistake.

When playing chess, an important rule is that when your opponent makes a "blunder", or a mistake, you make the decision whether you can take advantage of it immediately and make significant gain (such as winning a piece), or if not, you must decide to continue on with setting out your pieces, and allow your opponent to sort out his own mess. In doing so, they usually lose some time and position.
