His support of amnesty for them has cost him any chance.
The riotous protests of the illegals ranting and raving in the streets they are taking over awoke the outrage of the now Unsilent Majority and perhaps, helped save us from a devastating McCain administration.

No, what has cost McCain the Presidency is two things:
1. Bush's dirty tricks against him in the 2000 South Carolina Primary, and
2. His groveling support for Bush ever since.
McCain was a hero once, but since 2001, he has been a weak-willed puppet of the Bushies, who won't even stand up for him now. He is a tragic figure, who could have been so much more. He has compared himself to Luke Skywalker, but The Force is weak in him. Like John Kerry, the Hero was pushed aside by the Senator, and we are all the poorer for it. President McCain (2001-09) might have been a great leader. President McCain (2009-??) would be a disaster. He will never be either man.

He never had any real support base. He doesn't stand for anything. He is just a symbol of militarism for those who make a fetish of that sort of thing - equating military pomp and circumstance for patriotism and so forth. Other than that, he is just another windbag politician with no charisma or presence - and no platform or program either. He is the one who claimed that the "surge" was a good thing. He put on a ridiculous charade in a market in Baghdad, trying to prove that it was safe to walk the streets there thanks to the "surge". The next day, all of the poor market stall owners who had to be his props for these theatrics were all murdered by the insurgents. That shows what extremes he is willing to go to in order to save face when he puts his foot in his mouth. What are a few dozen market sellers to him? He killed more people than that on a daily basis when he was bombing North Vietnam, so this had to have been small change by comparison. For those who want more militarism, he is a symbol. For everyone else, a boring waste of time.

His blind support for the war was his first mistake. The vast majority of the general public does not support the war anymore. Any candidate that hopes to win has to be against the war. They have to be strong on terrorism, and the economy.
McCain has none of this.

It definitely will be hard for him to win the nomination since the conservatives right now do not trust him on the immigration issue, he would have to show a new bill that is more to the Conservatives liking and be rock solid in supporting other conservative issues to move up again in the polls.

McCain made himself irrelevant in 2000, as far as I'm concerned, when he caved in to KKKarl Rove's "push polls," and abandoned American voters.
He can say or do any goddam thing he pleases, as I see it; he'll never again have the confidence of Republicans.

McCain has to many nails in his coffin, but for me the final nail was when he got into bed with that drunk from Massachusetts

Yes, but it has also costed all the Republicans their chances (and votes) on becoming President. We can't count on them anymore for anything. We need a change-----a Democrat:
VOTE- OBAMA or CLINTON.

Yes. Remember the media was saying how he would be a great candidate? Then he showed he was pro invasion and now no one wants him
