I think that your observation about McCain is incorrect. I believe that rank-and-file and ordinary voter Republicans like him very much. He, after all, is the natural heir of Goldwater conservatism and Eisenhower nationalism. No other Republican is as genuinely conservative as McCain. And, even though he's not a neocon, he did support the war in Iraq and backed the President to the hilt in 2004.

There are Republican elitists who don't like McCain. But I think that he must be regarded as the frontrunner for the nomination at this time, precisely because he has a lot of grassroots Republican support.

âconservative without appearing nuttyâ

As opposed to a moon-bat liberal with a totally-sane stamp of approval by a socialist press?

Draft Matt Blunt! He's a veteran, he's fiscally conservative (listen to the wailing as he cuts Missouri's government), and he will actually be old enough in 2008.
