If McCain is the nominee....The central issue of the campaign is going to be Iraq

[Perky]

and his comments about being there no matter what it takes no matter how longs...Ostencibly because "Al Qaeda gets a PR victory"

Blood and treasure is a pretty bitter pill to swallow for scoring points with Arab Moderates.

This helps us in the presidential and congressional races

[havocmom]

1. and Iran

[CTD]

2. And if Hillary is our nominee, there goes the high ground...

[Neshanic]

3. "if?"

[Perky]

7. Let's get through Super Tuesday

Huckabee us going to win a few statres. As is Romney and the right wing og the party and the RW punditry includin Limbaugh really hate McCain.

McCain Feingold
McCain Kennedy
McCain Libermaman

He is also broke although FLorida will give him some juice.


Romney is going to go after him hard tonight and try and get the reddest of the red.

Huckabee could playthe spoiler and we could still see a brokered convention on that side.

4. Hillary cannot stand against McCain on Iraq - they are too similar.

The GE will be a disaster if she is the nominee.

[Tarc]

8. Bogus. Iraq will not even matter much by then

as a political topic. Remember Bush Sr. vs. Clinton? Everyone assumed that the war hero incumbent President was going to be a slam dunk for victory.

What happened? "It's the economy, stupid!" took the wind out of those sails right quick. A similar route will be followed in November, as McCain gets trashed over domestic issues.

[AlinPA]

5. Actually it will be USA! USA! Terra,Terra, with flag waving like we have never seen. His time

in the prison camp will be the first thing out of his mouth- every day.

[BenDavid]

6. oh my goodness people.....it makes no difference what HRC

has said about bringing the troops out of Iraq.......but now ain't ye all glad she did not apologize for that iraq resolution vote? She can stand against whatever MCCain will throw at her concerning Iraq.....so do not get all hyper because hrc can just as easily turn mccains words he said early on about iraq on him......

[papau]

9. McCain/Romney will the opponent

[MadBadger]

10. Much more likely to be McCain/Huckabee I think.
