The chances in Iraq are much more positive than McCain getting elected as President. He may as well pack it in and go home. He screwed the pooch with his amnesty push.

McCain is a good man at heart. He had EVERY chance to be the "maverick" he once was, but he blew it. In the 2000 Republican primaries Bush and his cronies slandered McCain and threw every ugly rumor they could make up at him. They said he had fathered an illegitimate child, that he was brainwashed by the Vietnamese and Bush would not call for an end to the assault on McCain's character. Then in 2004 like a good lil' lap dog, McCain campaigned for Bush and the Republican party because he wanted the party's nomination in 2008. Jon McCain is a SELLOUT! Plain and simple. He sold himself out and now some far-right Republican who will follow the far right agenda will get the nomination and LOSE to the Democrat who is nominated. Otherwise, McCain might actually have had a chance at winning the party's nomination and the presidency. So Thank a Republican for giving the Democrats the White House, the House and the Senate in '08!!! VOTE DEMOCRAT in '08! and in EVERY election after!

If he can pull it off with patriotism, then specific he can, having the journey, exceedingly as a Vietnam veteran and POW. besides, there are diverse traits between each and every of the main effective Republicans. not purely like the three democratic front runners, there's a lot greater form in the GOP this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. McCain can take great thing approximately his congressional journey to instruct the guy is acquainted with politics and has persevered Washington's tide on the conflict container longer than all different front runners, even the genuine conflict container. He seems to be an extremely bi-partisan legislator, and that's a key benefit to triumphing this election. In 2000, i could not understand why he wasn't nominated (of direction I hadn't heard of the attack classified ads the two). In 2007, i became bowled over to work out him working back, and that i assumed he might purely be yet another left over like John Edwards. yet in the debates, I continuously look to locate him coming off through fact the main specific and robust candidate. If his social gathering pulls the turn flop card on Romney, then he ought to have a raffle, through fact Huckabee is a conservative Christian with leftist socioeconomic regulations.

I think McCain should stick it out simply based on his opponents.
Giuliani is a social liberal with 3 divorces running purely on 9/11.
Romney is a two-faced flip-flopping fake.
Thompson is a lazy former lobbyist.
At the moment McCain is almost out of money because he's run a poor campaign, but really it's anybody's race in the GOP. None of their candidates are electable, so McCain might get lucky and win the nomination by default. His stances on Iraq and immigration will make it hard for him to win, but his opponents are far from stellar.

Nah. The longer he stays in, the more gets spent on the Primaries and the more damage the eventual candidate takes.
Besides, the way he's talking these days, he is THE candidate for anyone who wants four more years of Bush.

He should drop out of the race. He tried to be a maverick and the friend of the establishment at the same time. This is impossible.
I am a moderate, but I never really liked his brand of populism because it conflicted so much with my urbanesque values of being fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

McCain is more likely to win the presidency than victory but if he is losing to a guy that is best known for sleeping with his cousin, he is in big trouble.

McCain is a man who will be forever the right man wrong time. He should have been the GOP choice in 2000. Not a bad man, but he won't be President.

No, you're right. I'm amazed that he continues to hang in there and doubt that he's getting much financial support. I remember months ago that he had several backers on this forum and after his immigration debacle, even they left him.
Why waste the time and money for a losing battle?

Well, tying his race to Iraq is just being negative, however many people that know that they won't win stay in the race to get issues important to them heard.
