I see the Republican canidate as Trent Lott in 2008. I admit I don't follow RNC politics like I should, but from what I've been hearing in the news I believe he's manuevering himself to be Bush's replacement. His moves have been designed to set himself as independent of Bush, and slightly more moderate, which I believe will allow himself to capture some of the middle block when Bush's "awe-shucks" charisma is gone.
Cheers
McCain has shot his chances by dancing all around the political spectrum. Righties don't like him because he was too moderate for them in 2000, Lefties don't like him because he danced back to Bush in 2004. Moderates, well, believe it or not, they just don't like people who can't make up their mind.
You take out Hillary in the primaries, and I will take care of newt. Deal?
Please! Dont even joke that like that! Hillary's friends have died for less!
