I would have voted McCain in the last election. I thought he had far more experience and character than Bush. I have heard there is an outside chance of a Kerry/McCain ticket. It's not unheard of to have a dual party ticket, altho it has been a long time since it happened.

I was always impressed by McCain. I 'don't necessarily agree with all his opinions but he brings them with a thoughtfulness and realism that I miss in a lot of politicians nowadays.
I'm afraid he won't be eligible for the GOP ticket in 2008 due to his independent stances on some issues, I still think he is potentially a very good president. Maybe he'll run against Powell in the pre-2008 primaries?

Fine, vote for McCain. Don't come back here pissing and moaning when you finally realize that he's a democrat.

mccain is damaged goods like kerry... some people can deal with war and some can't... they go off the deep end.

mccain is anti gun rights in the extreme. that is enough to sink him for me.

In Iraq our national security interests and our national values converge. Iraq is truly the test of a generation, for America and for our role in the world. Faced with similar challenges, previous generations of Americans have passed such tests with honor. It is now our turn to demonstrate that our power, ennobled by our principles, is the greatest force for good on earth today. Iraq’s transformation into a secure democracy and a force for freedom in the greater Middle East is the calling of our age. We can succeed. We must succeed.

GS, you just summed up the current Republican ideology.
