So I guess the only other serious contender is Ralph Nader? :lmao:

McCain had quite a comeback considering how far he was behind just a few months ago. I wonder what got him votes. I thought most voters didn't like his strong support of Bush and Iraq.

If you want us to stay the course in Iraq (for 100 years if needed) and possibly attack Iran, McCain is definitely your guy. I think Clinton and Obama want to bring the troops home.

One things is certain. Big government will win. We are either getting a big military or a big socialized government health care system.

Let's never forget that Hillary voted to authorized the war in Iraq. Her credibility as an anti-war candidate is non-existent. Obama is the only peace candidate left now that Ron Paul's fight for the nomination is over.

Hillary is getting the big corporate lobbying money that ususally goes to Republican candidates. She more like the Republicans that the neo-cons like,

Well, most people are idiots. Exit polls found that many of McCain's votes in New Hampshire (the primary that brought his campaign back from the dead) came from people who thought McCain was anti-war. He'll be an easy candidate for any Democratic nominee to knock down in the general election- he's too much of a war hawk to have a snowball's chance in hell against a decently organized campaign.

Yes, but the Republican primary was determined by Republican voters, not most voters.
