    Re: McCain wins Florida

    Here is part of an editorial piece by Dick Morris

    MCCAIN MAY WIN, ROMNEY CAN’T

    Hillary’s phony experience argument, which she could still maintain vis-à-vis Romney, would be hollow against McCain. And while Obama could point to a significant gap in their ages, Clinton, only 10 years his junior, could not effectively make age an issue against McCain.

    Obviously, McCain’s strong support for the war in Iraq would be a point of contention and vulnerability in a general election against Clinton. But his support of the surge, and its evident effectiveness in reducing combat casualties, might well give him the better of the argument in front of a moderate general electorate.

    It is only on the economy that McCain has a self-proclaimed (if inadvisably so) weakness. But Hillary would be overreaching dramatically if she claimed special expertise on this issue merely through the osmosis that she claims to be a feature of living in the White House. Her tax increase proposals, particularly her support for a higher capital gains tax, can be painted, accurately, as foreshadowing doom for the economy. Neither Hillary nor McCain can claim the economy as an especial preserve.

    Can Romney? Inexplicably, the McCain campaign has not spoken of the layoffs that must have accompanied Romney’s efforts to “turn around” failing companies. Hedge funds are notorious for cutting jobs and the Clintons will make Mitt eat every single one. McCain has no such vulnerability and, hopefully, will make Romney’s layoffs an issue before Super Tuesday.

    Re: McCain wins Florida

    Conservatives don't care too much for McCain since he's more moderate but are you saying they won't have a choice in the presidential election so conservatives will vote for him?
    I consider myself a republican and I am not super conservative. Some will stay home sure but some will vote for him since Hillary and Obama are much more left than he is. Let's face it with McCain u get the Rep who is not far right who will stay strong on terror.

    and I think he may be too stubborn to make the needed changes.
    Depends on what you mean, if you mean cut and run, no he won't do that. In fact neither would Obama or Hillary as much as they lie and say they would. As far as the rest goes we have to watch countries like Iran for they pose a real threat.

    McCain strikes me as someone that will hastily go into Iran his first week in office or something.

    That is where a strong Vice President comes in. If Rudy was the VP, I am sure he would smack McCain on the side of the head & tell him to calm down. :D

    McCain is not that bad, he is certainly not my first choice, but, if push came to shove, I would vote for him.

    I disagree, I think he will be a fair but tough president when it comes to dealing with these radicals.

    Hey Nick have you spent any amount of time looking at half the bill's McCain has authored and cosponsored.....? You should because you see allot of the Dems you hate were his partner.

    Here's how I see it at this point...there is no real difference between McCain who IMO is a Stalinist and Clinton who is also a Stalinist.

    Re: McCain wins Florida

    Tommy this is all lip service. Once McCain and Hillary go heads up it's over. No matter what the issues it is going to boil down to foreign affairs and even though you think McCain is as far left as Hillary he isn't. Not to mention that a good chunk of the country can not stand the sight of her. Your only prayer is to hope Obama somehow wins the nomination. Which is a stretch. McCain wins the general. Hell I think even Romney could beat her heads up. I mean did you ask yourself how McCain has made one of the most unbelievable comebacks in political history? He was dead and buried and now look at him. Means one thing. The country knows what is coming and they will do anything to keep that horrid woman as far away from the white house.

    Nick lip service....how are his cosponsors lip service? The facts are there mate. Do you even have a clue why you support McCain? Is it only because Rudy supports McCain? McCain has stronger ties to your friend Ted Kennedy then Clinton does. You really should take some time and go look at the firends McCain has on the left.
