In the words of Hugo Chavez, who used them in reference to GW Bush, McCain is a walking “Political Cadaver”.
Get the coroner, we will soon need an autopsy to determine the exact cause and moment of John McCain’s political death.
None of our resident wingnuts will shed tears over that lib’rul mav’rick McCain. Everyone knows he sired an illigitimate brown baby and of course was brainwashed in Nam.
Poor McCain, he turned right while his straight talk express just kept goin’ along.
buma, you REALLY think primary voters care about any of that? McCain’s current floundering among conservatives are a direct result of the backlash over McCain/Feingold and the recently deposed immigration bill. (You’ll note that GWB supported both of these measures too … and has matching approval numbers to boot!)
Oh, right, it was the Dirty Mexicans.
“buma, you REALLY think primary voters care about any of that?”
Rove thought they did.
“McCain’s current floundering…”
Because of Iraq. If you don’t learn that, you will be hugely surprised after ‘08.
Except that Rudy, Romney, and Fred hold similar positions with McCain on Iraq. Were your thesis true, their polling and fundraising would be cratering as well.
If the candidates are achieving differing results, then look at where their positions differ. Occam’s Razor, my friend…
I’m no Grissom, but I’d say the point at which McCain went from manageable wounds to all-out internal hemorrhage was around the time he decided to take a walk in a Baghdad market, wearing body armor and surrounded by a military escort, and then claimed Baghdad was secure.
Buma’s partially correct; conservatives never had much use for McCain (not because of McCain/Feingold, which actually does nothing). Instaed, McCain lost all the independents when he basically adopted Young Master Bush’s stay in Iraq forever stance.
Besides, McCain really looks like his staff puts a mirror in front of face frequently to see if he’s still breathing.
Pity the poor Repugs. They have Mitt Romney who tortures animals and can’t keep his stories straight.
They have Rudy whose Southern Regional Chair, “Wild Thing” Vitter, just got caught doing the GOP Family Values Tango.
And Fred Thompson, who apparently will sell his lobbying services to anyone–even pro-choice groups.
“Except that Rudy, Romney, and Fred hold similar positions with McCain on Iraq.”
No, McCain positioned himself as the Iraq candidate. Had the surge worked, he would be doing fine, but Republicans, (especially those who are willing to give money), know that it is an unpopular stance and he simply can’t win.
Except that Rudy, Romney, and Fred hold similar positions with McCain on Iraq.
they are also not sitting Senators. That might have something to do with it.
Well, thanks for pitching in everyone but I have to hand the point to farris. I had forgotten how that McCain-Feingold piece in 2002 so rankled conservatives. Kept him from getting re-elected for the Senate in 2004, right?
