The McCain Scenario

Android flipflopper? That's bitter.

God, I cant believe is misspelled so many words. Too much chainsaw exhaust I suppose. Anyhow, I will also my suspicion that NO Republican will get a majority before the convention. Money wise four of the five major players have plenty of money to keep campaigning. Not so McCain. Ron Paul has a surprising ability to draw in money, much as did Howard Dean. Enthused caucus members mean nearly as much as the party hacks.

The same may hold true for the Democrats. I believe all of the three top candidates will split the caucuses. Biden may also become a spoiler if the race gets nastier. I truly look forward to major convention surprises in both parties! Late endorsements and power broking yet to come.

Hopefully, this might encourage better voter participation! Last years choices left many people gagging, myself included!.

McCain equals Dole as far as electability goes. And even though McCain was aPOW, he may lose the vet vote based upon his selling out of the MIAs when he and Kerry passed legislation to get chummy with Vietnam. Also, he has been too quick to sell out the party in favor of Kennedy and his ilk.

I use to really like McCain and was hoping he would get the nod over Bush in the 2000 race. Unfortunately he didn't. I lost respect for him when he continued to back Bush and the Iraq war - making the Bush tax cuts perm is the WRONG thing to do - I would think he would understand that even being a Republican. I've voted Republican all of my life until Clinton - now I think the Dems offer more than the Repubs do. Personally, I don't think Senator Clinton would be all that bad - I think people just think she would be "bad". In all seriousness she could wind up being one of the best Presidents we've had. Women tend to think differently then men do - maybe that would be a breath of fresh air that this country needs right now. We sure as the devil don't need more of the same!!!

I want to believe in McCain, but he lost most of my respect when he caved in to Jerry Falwell and traveled to Liberty University to kiss his ass. He had it right when he called Falwell and Pat Robertson "agents of intolerance." They were, and Robertson still is, and until McCain can stand up to the Bible-beaters who want to turn the US into a theocracy, he won't get my vote.

I am an independent voter, that leans Democratic. Clinton will most likely got the Democratic vote, which means a Republican will be the president in 2008. I have great respect for McCain who caught a lot of flack over the immigration debacle, but at least he proposed SOMETHING, although needing much work. And I was against the Iraq war from the beginning, but at least he stood his ground on what he believes. I would love to see a McCain-Obama ticket, a marriage of the old and the new, I love this country but it is drifting towards an aristocracy, we just need solid leadership married with new ideas.
