McCain has big problems. The Republican base isn't behind him and he's given the Dems plenty of fodder to go after. Flip flopping on taxes, 100 years in Iraq etc... etc...
Personal tangents like the Rev Wright or Vince Foster  are pithy compared to what people really care about.

Spence, nothing you have said over the last 4-5 yrs has made me believe you have no clue as much as that last statement.
Jim's prediction - if Obama gets the nomination, he loses at least 40 states to McCain.
And to Nebe's point - the reality will be its because he is a junior senator, with questionable ties to a blatant racist (Wright), and Islamic name in a time of war against radical islam and who has extremly limited experience. But, for Nebe and the left, it will be because he is a minority and we are a racist countrty. |

I agree. And it is sad. You know and getting to scottw's points about the values that this country were created on.. One of the biggest was the firm notion that this country had to have a separation of church and state, yet there are many that will only vote because of their religious beliefs.. McCain has the conservative Christian vote. Thats for certain.
however, that being said, I believe that when it all comes out in the wash, voters are going to be thinking about their financial future and even an idiot can see that the republican party has been looking out for the top 10% of this country's upper class and has done almost nothing to help out the lower class. |

I wouldn't agree. McCain has endorsed federal funding of some stem cell research which has raised many CC hackles. They may vote for him over the Dem, but he's not going to turn out the base like Bush was able to with his focused pander campaign.
And RIJIMMY, you still need to do some splaining.

McCain is not a "conservative" republican. He'll get from the middle, not the right.
Anyone read the little poll tidbit from PA? 42% of those who voted for Hillary would stay home if the race was between McCain and Clinton.
I love this stuff about the evil RNC. On it's best day, the RNC couldn't do half as much damage to the democrats as the DNC. I guess the RNC set up the current "superdelegate" system and filled the democrat ranks with mediocre candidates?
I don't know who at the RNC puts Al Sharpton on the democrate debate stage every 4 years, but the guy's a political genius.

A statement like this of course assumes there is a standard definition for a "conservative republican" of which there is not. Most of the McCain isn't a CR mantra stems from his opposition of Bush's round 2 tax cuts and little more.
The Rebublican standard by which many American associate with used to be embodied by Barry Goldwater, although by "todays" standards he'd be a flaming, pink panty wearing liberal in bed with Osama Bin Laden. You're either with us or with the terrorists you know.
The reality is that there are countless kinds of Republicans, many of whom share little common values. The fragile reality is has been exacerbated by the Bush Presidency.
