The other day James Dobson, founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family essentialy killed any chance for McCain to get the GOP nomination by stating "Speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances" So with out the support from Jesusland, does McCain have a shot?

Anybody who assumes that James Dobson is a king-maker -- or king-breaker -- in the Republican Party doesn't understand politics.
As I recall, in 1981 the Rev. Jerry Falwell opposed the nomination and confirmation of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court. And McCain's predecessor in the Senate, Barry Goldwater, replied that Falwell needs a swift kick in the ***. Obviously O'Connor got confirmed by the Senate anyway without one vote against her.
Who on Earth thinks that James Dobson can single-handedly break the career of any Republican politician?

I wouldn't vote for him either, because he is a globalist and sponsored a ruinous immigration bill with Kennedy.
I have no idea what this Dobson guy was referring to with his comments and wouldn't have paid attention if I'd heard it.
I can't imagine McCain taking the primary unless there are so many other entrants that the vote splinters towards too many candidates.

I think the definitive answer will come from Pat Robertson after he gets his telegram from God. After that, we will know, one way or the other, how McCain's candidacy will fair in the tumultuous right wing waters of 2008.

McCain is so hated by the base, which is who votes in primaries. He had no chance before the statements.

Yes. The GOP loves to reinvent history.
