Quiet! Wait until he gets the nomination, and not that terrifying weasel-faced ex-preacher!

Ha, many Americans might get the following message from that: "Wow, he got his team a new stadium?"

But yeah, kinda crazy. Rachel's dad--who is a presidential scholar!--said he might vote for McCain if Hillary gets nominated. Rachel had to yell at him about abortion for 10 minutes to straighten him out. I trust that whoever gets nominated will run lots of ads with McCain wearing an "ANTI-CHOICE" t-shirt or something.

Even still, I really wouldn't worry too much about McCain. There's no way that guy isn't going to melt down sometime between now and November.

wasn't he a POW for five years or something? am i making that up? do you think someone like that is going to melt down?

Anti-choice T-shirts will only win him the Republican turn out he might not get.

The election is the Dems' to lose, and they'll have to screw the pooch pretty badly nominate Hillary Clinton between now and November to fuck this up.

I'm aware of how the hard right of the party feel about McCain - but do they really hate him more than they hate Clinton?

The point is to get a lot of the conservative right to stay at home on polling day. A smear campaign against McCain would be stupid because it might make the truly disgusting vote for him... the same people who elected Bush. That vote should not be mobilised.

LOL.

Well, truthfully NOBODY likes McCain. The conservatives don't like him because he's not conservative enough for them, and of course the liberals don't like him because McCain IS actually a conservative.

I clap my hands with glee if he goes up against Obama. Tired old McCain against young, sexy "Kennedy-esque" Barry? Oh bring it on!

But truthfully I think Hillary COULD win against McCain as well. The Dems would all get behind her and Dems are voting 2-1 in the primaries versus the Republicans (since the GOP aren't happy with any of their candidates). And yes, I think the "Anybody but Clinton" thing would backfire (although certainly the possibility of Clinton Part II would energize some people to get out and vote against her) in the end because she'd still be getting the name recognition and she could win. And also McCain is so old Clinton would look young and fresh next to him.
