106. And the punchline is: John McCain as the nominee
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 12:31 AM by theboss
First of all, I don't believe Republicans are as stupid as you make them out to be. But if they are, they got what they deserved: John "Amnesty" McCain.

If you put a gun to my head and asked me which Republican I wanted as the Republican nominee, it would be McCain.

Two reasons:

1. He hates conservatives and conservatives hate him. So, I don't think we are going to see a lot of running to the right to secure the base if he - god forbid - gets elected. I am pretty sure that I will easily survive a McCain presidency.

2. I think he will ultimately be a poor candidate come crunch time. He can't secure the base. He's a thousand years old. He looks like hell. I just think that by September, he is going to be running on fumes while whoever we nominate will be peaking.
