Thanks.

I doubt there's much credibility to it; someone that has an ego as big as John McCain does won't drop out this early.

You read my mind. I hear his fundraising is horrible though, some are claiming Ron Paul could raise more this quarter. Any truth to this?

That is what I'm kind of thinking, However mcCain should realize he has destroyed any chance he has at winning this.

[Likely Voter]

i think that if things looked grim he would drop out before IA/NH with some 'spend time with family' excuse...in order to avoid being humiliated with a 4th place (or worse) finish.

does he really want to be the Joe Lieberman of the GOP....remember his line last year (when he cam in 5th) "we are in a three way tie for third place!"

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I really hope McCain drops out of the race. I expect John McCain to drop out after Iowa and New Hampshire. After he's humiliated by either Mitt Romney or Fred Thompson. He had his chance in 2000, and he blew it.

[Reluctant Republican]

He won't drop out until the first primaries, I don't think. However, if someone from the second tier comes close or, miracle of miracles, beats him in fundraisng, he'll lose what little legtimacy and few supporters he has left.

Instead of "few supporters" you might as well say "Mike Naso".

Haha that was the best.

bahahahahaha!

[TheresNoMoney]

No way he drops out this soon.  His numbers are still pretty strong in NH.

[gogmagog]

I don't see him droping out at least after Feb 5th.
He is too old to run ever again - so he will try to go as far as he can.

By the way - why people dont like him? from far away Israel he seems to be Real nice and sincere?

In 2005 and 2006, everyone loved him. Then, the Democrats turned on him and now he pissed off some Republicans with strict stances on immigration and Iraq.

[Verily]

sincere?

ROFL. "Sincere" is perhaps the worst descriptor for McCain v2008 I've heard.

McCain has been the most ardent denier of any problems whatsoever with US policy in Iraq.

He has made a complete U-turn on social issues since 2000, deciding that "Christian morals" should be instituted and made law by the government.

He has been one of the primary proponents of the completely disastrous immigration bill that, to hear each side tell it, would either destroy the American economy or destroy American society.

He has declared Bush one of the best presidents in United States history (and not in 2001 or 2002, in 2006 and 2007). In general, he has been Bush's biggest cheerleader, barring perhaps Joe Lieberman, which makes any criticisms he had of Bush in 2000 on being "divisive" and "intolerant" look like the political opportunism perhaps they were.

Whether McCain did a very good job of duping moderate Republicans in 2000 and has always been a conniving right-winger or decided in 2005 that another extreme right-winger was exactly was the US needs in 2008, he's certainly not sincere and perhaps the least moderate or acceptable choices of all serious presidential candidates for any party.

I'm glad that the Dems have a good propoganda machine.
I was worry that only the Rapublicand know how to do it

I would reccomend you not listen to Naso's spin machine. Naso is the only supporter of McCain, well, anywhere.

McCain won't drop out until the primaries.  However, I hope he drops out quickly once he gets thumped.

Just who is this "everyone" whom you claim loved" McCain back in 2005 snf 2006?

While McCain was admired by liberals as late as 2005 for his attacks on conservatives, his support for higher taxes, his attacks on free speech, etc., conservatives have loathed him for a long time.

Well him and Tim Pawlenty.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Of course any candidate with poll and fundraising numbers this bad 1.5 years out from the election should see the light and drop out.  He should do like John Kerry did in 2004 when it was obvious that there was nothing stopping Howard Dean from being the Democratic nominee....
