Title: McCain 2008? Post by: Michael Z on February 26, 2005, 07:03:42 AM Does John McCain have a chance of winning the Republican nomination in 2008?
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: Keystone Phil on February 26, 2005, 09:38:53 AM No. He won't be running for it either.
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on February 26, 2005, 11:07:32 AM another rare instance where me and phil agree.
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: AuH2O on February 26, 2005, 12:01:21 PM It's a dangerous combination that he wants it and played good soldier in 2004. I sure hope he doesn't.
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: Moooooo on February 26, 2005, 12:02:17 PM I dont see him getting the nomination, but I think he would be a deadly general election candidate.
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: zorkpolitics on February 26, 2005, 01:48:17 PM I think he could get the nomination, and would go on to win easily.
Can he convince the base he is conservative enough is really the only question Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: A18 on February 26, 2005, 02:02:24 PM If so, I'm voting Democrat.
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: Erc on February 26, 2005, 03:34:50 PM He has a shot at it.
It's a long shot, but it's a shot nonetheless. Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: ian on February 26, 2005, 03:46:07 PM Yes. I didn't think so at first, but if Rudy and Condoleeza are the Repubs top 2 picks as of right now, McCain can certainly be a possibility.
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: PBrunsel on February 26, 2005, 07:15:00 PM No, he's too old, but Dole was older when he ran in 1996.
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: BobOMac2k2 on February 26, 2005, 07:59:23 PM Everyone has a chance.
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: Frodo on February 26, 2005, 10:46:55 PM it's possible but unlikely.
if the Republican Party were ruled by sane people, he would have a chance, but with the religious right being what it is, he will lose to either Rick Santorum or George Allen in the upcoming Republican primaries, albeit narrowly. Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: Hitchabrut on February 28, 2005, 07:11:02 PM He won't run.
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: Notre Dame rules! on February 28, 2005, 08:16:31 PM His health is questionable, as is his wife's. That being said, I really hope that he doesn't run. I'd hate to have to vote against a real war hero, but so help me, I will.
Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: Robespierre's Jaw on July 16, 2008, 03:01:22 AM LOL.
I love all of these threads, especially ones regarding John McCain and a possible run for the White House in 2008. I'm surprised that despite my vote of confidence in John McCain in his quest for the 2008 Republican Nomination, the majority of people on the Atlas Forum do not agree with me. But this Barack Obama character, he has no chance at defeating Hillary, and why would he? The Clinton Machine in the Democratic Party is un-removable. Title: Re: McCain 2008? Post by: Sbane on July 16, 2008, 03:29:29 AM HAHAHA bringing up these threads is just a tad unfair. It just lets us know how ridiculous all the sh**t we say now is going to be in a couple of months.
