McCain could do an Alben Barkley and end up on the bottom of the GOP ticket. He cannot win the Republican nomination so long as he is a darling of the liberal media. Then, if he burns his bridges with them, and gets the nomination, they will let him twist in the wind in the general election. He has twisted and turned so many times the net result is an impossible score. He could be a help to the GOP on the bottom of the ticket, however, and certainly would be seen as a credible wartime leader from there, if need be. McCain should be commended for his stand with Bush on Iraq, and excoriated for his outrageous liaison with Feingold.

McCain’s assult on the 1st amendment and distain for the 2nd amendment make him toxic to the Republican rank-and-file.

Newt has a better chance of getting the nomination.

There are a whole slew of things I could say about McCain, but in the end–I don’t trust him to act in any way that I can safely predict.

I concur.

Being a ‘Maverick’ and breaking with the party on issues may get you favorable media, but it does not create trust.

IMO, McCain’s historical ambivalence on the 2nd made me wonder how well he understood the Constitution, writing McCain-Feingold and infringing on the 1st told me that he didn’t understand the Constitution at all.

He is not someone I want in the White House as anything other than a guest.

In 1999, upon a TV appearance by John McCain, I told my sons “take a look at your next President”

I’m happy to have been wrong. From there to here, whenever I see John McCain I see John McKennedyfeingold, and I’m sure I’m not alone. There’s no McCain left in McCain; or maybe there is, which is just as bad.

Laura Ingraham said it today…McCain’s constituency is Tim Russert, Don Imus and Chris Matthews. McCain will never be President.

Macain didn't meant what he said last night on Letterman. He was only Keating .

It’s not like I ever “trusted” Bill Clinton in the traditional sense, or thought he had much character. But I was pretty sure which way he would go on any given issue. (Though I admit with Bill, this seems to have been easier on his opponents than his friends. Some of his friends must have found him pretty unpredictable.)

As Mary Katharine Ham puts it, McCain has pulled an Obama. We'll see how, or if, he recovers.

McCain has had more exposure than Ana Nicole Smith, both; alive and dead

John McCain is far too arrogant for me. That said, I hate his politics for many of the reasons outlined above in the comments.

Obama has values? Last I heard, plastic is value free.
