So, how about McCain's upset of Dubya yesterday in the MI primary? Jo
and I did our bit (Hey, it's an open primary so natch I voted in the
race that made a difference) to stop the Dubya train.

I like McCain, but I doubt he'll win, not with the entire party
establishment lined up against him.  :/


I think his chances are much better after last night.
It would be a real shame for the republican party if Bush wins.
Gore would likely beat Bush in the general election.  I don't think
Gore would have a prayer against McCain.

Come on guys, it's time to put the thinking caps on! Do you really think
Democrats would cross over and vote for McCain if he had a chance of beating
their man. And why would a man running for the Republican nomination abandon
everything that party believes in to get votes from the other party! It doesn't
make sense. Democrats are voting for McCain in the primaries with NO intention
of voting for him in November precisely because they want to foul up the
process because they don't want to run against Bush. They know that Al Gump
can't beat him. McCain is NOT going to get the Republican nomination without
Republican votes in the primaries, and he can't get them if he sounds more like
a Democrat than a Republican. Puh-lease. When has the media ever sucked up to a
Republican, that alone should make you do a double-take. Democrats and the
media (same thing) want to run against McCain because they've got the goods on
him and would crucify him IF he got the nomination - which he can't.

(...) The latest big poll showed McCain ahead 24 points vs Gore, with Bush only ahead 5 pointes vs Gore. I think McCain could beat Gore if he got the nomination, which he won't. (24 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
