McCain Stands By Bush At GOP Conference If I were a political science professor at some university, I would be so excited for the 2008 election season. Here we have a Senate Republican who ran for President in 2000 and did everything he possibly could to alienate the Republican base. He spent the next four years milking his "maverick" status and basking in the adoration of the MSM and Chris Matthews. He even spent the 2004 election season legitimizing rumors that he was considered a possible running mate for John Kerry. Now it's 2006 and McCain seems to have done a 180 (or maybe more accurately, a 160 or thereabouts) and become a strong supporter of the President in the war on terror. He's been a more aggressive voice in the conservative movement, taking many opportunities to slam the Democrats for their pro-terrorists views. The presidency is will be wide open in just under 3 years and he wants it, but what to do? He can't run as a Democrat, because he would be seen as a traitor and nobody likes a traitor. He could try and run as an Independent, but when has that ever worked? It would only ensure a Democrat wins the presidency, which would again make him a traitor. So, his best option is to try and run as a Republican, but can he repair the damage he so gleefully inflicted on his relationship with the Republican base for four years? As I said, the political science professors have got to be licking their chops to see how he intends to pull this off. Here's his best hope... Giuliani and Rice decide not to run...George Allen fails to generate enough name-recognition to win enough primaries and the Democrats nominate Hillary as their candidate. If all of this comes to fruition, McCain can win the presidency in a nationwide reactionary vote against Hillary, which would happen with pretty much anyone put up against her. Hell, I might even vote for him under these circumstances if I can silence the dry-heaves long enough to put an X in the box. This is gonna be interesting. Jim Rose blogs at Jim-Rose.com.

I was a delagate at the reccent 2006 Southern Republican Leadership Conference, and I can assure you and your readers that Senator McCain's comment to support President Bush in the straw poll was warmly recieved with a STANDING OVATION. He, Trent Lott and others stressed the importance of focusing on the 2006 midterm elections rather than 2008, they said to write in Presiodent Bush to show our support for his on going efforts and to make a statement that we are putting all of our energy in the rcaes this November rather than in 2008. Senator McCain has been a leader in the Senate for eliminating pork-barrel spending, and Republicans can trust that he would balance the budget and eliminate this atrocious deficit. He was a hit at the Conference, and I believe he has an outstanding chance at wining in 2008, so far I am learnig towards him..and I am from Georgia.
