Army Post Road

One more thing I'd like to mention (who knows why it's already coming up almost two years in advance but nonetheless) is the 2008 election.  Senator John McCain (R-AZ) (one half of the McCain-Feigngold travesty I mentioned in my post of a bit ago) is not the fantastic candidate he is reputed in some camps to be.  The most simple and strongest piece of evidence to that is his candidacy in the first place.  He cannot win the Republican nomination.  He is not a romantic maverick character in the party like the media likes to portray him as in the greater political arena.  His views are quite askew from that of the great mass of the party and his challenges and defiance of the President's initiatives and policies have made it nearly impossible for him to gain support amongst either the conservative activists, money donors, or the masses in the party who are still very loyal to President Bush.  There are quite a few other candidates who will be much more palatable and agreeable to the large bulk of the party, men and women who are more inline with the views of the majority in the party and who didn't flirt with the idea of being John Kerry's vice-presidential candidate in 2004.
