Look at all the GOP polls in Florida.
After 24 years in the Congress, thousands of hour of MSM exposure, a presidential campaign in 2000 and a keynote at the 2004 Convention, plus tens of millions of dollars in ads, John McCain's highest support number is 25% and his lowest is 18%.
The GOP rank-and-file know John McCain, admire his heroism, and reject his politics and record.
The idea that he is a "front-runner" is absurd. He should be the front-runner. He should be sweeping all before him. Instead he is trying to cobble together an inside straight, which tells us that he is a phenomenally weak candidate.
The Arizona maverick is the candidate of the MSM, pure and simple. The MSM is powerful, but powerful enough to overcome three-quarters of the GOP electorate and force a second Bob Dole campaign on the party?
Exactly right. The only people I hear getting excited about John Mccain are Wolf Blitzer, Tim Russert, et al. I have great respect for John McCain's service to this Country, but his former POW status alone does not automatically qualify him to be President, and his track record in the senate is abysmal (how soon some people forget!).
We'll see...
