McCain’s relaunch?

I would have had a tough time choosing who to vote for in 2000, had he been the republican nominee, before he drove the,"Straight Talk Express", off the "Tallahatchie Bridge".

I wouldn't count him out just yet. The republican field is nothing but soft in support, when an unannounced candidate with almost daily staff shake-ups can be tied or leading in some state polls.

I like John McCain. He has a very compelling biography, and a bi-partisan legislative history that few can match. If any republican could run a presidential campaign without immediately sinking neck deep in the mud, it is John McCain.

No, it can't work.
The old McCain ceased to exist after the Bush/McCain kiss. His embrace of Bush even after the Rove machine did it's dishonorable, underhanded, rat spirited, hatchet job on this honorable man was to much to take. He should have spit in Bush's face. Then to see him kowtow to the fundamentalist Christian demagogues who he rightly described as agents of intolerance put the stake in the heart. The old McCain WAS the center. And you can't win the general election without the center. Had he remained true to himself he could have waged a successful Independent campaign that would have held the center and pulled moderate Republicans and Democrats to his banner leaving the far right and far left where they need to be, at the fringe of political influence. I wish him well and no amount of thanks can every repay the debt we owe to this man and his peers, but he is out of step with where we need to go.

He probably doesn't have a shot at the top seat but, he could make a great Vice-President to Fred Thompson in '08.

Gary---you have said it all---I received nasty robo calls here in MI from Jeb,Barbra,and the christian majority during the primary in MI.I went and voted for McCain and he did win over Bush in MI,making Bush,Gov.Engler and all the republicans violently angry.George did not win against Kerry,either.It was very disturbing to see the Bush-McCain kiss (same as the Bush-Lieberman kiss) and going out to campaign for Bush was a sign of the lengths he would go to to save face.And yes loving up to Falwell was a sign he had given up all pretens of being his own man.His chance has come and gone-----along with his immigration plan.

the "straight talk" express became the "any thing I will do to win " express.
I truly liked him in 2000 but would never support him now

Anonymous and BSB are too stupid to contribute intelligent commentary.

John Mccain is a true American hero, something none of the 20-something other candidates can say. He's done what he believes is right all along the way.

I'm still undecided, but after watching that video today, I've gone from leaning Fred to leaning McCain.

Sorry BSB but President Bush could not hold a candle to John McCain. However he has waivered on the political light he is a stand up man that we would be proud to have as a President.

A "flip-floping" (sic) moron? Perhaps you'd be kind enough to provide examples.

John McCain is the man to lead this tired old country into a new phase of honesty, integrity and help the people regain their trust in politicians. He knows what this country needs and he will provide the courage and knowledge to get it. He is no ones YES man. I am older than him and I trust him with the lives of my children and grandchildren. He is so far above all the other candidates that given the chance and the back bone of the voters, he will win. He has served his country and when elected will continue to serve us all.

Please be aware of another candidate who is a great American statesman, champion of the constitution, defender of freedom and fighter for liberty. Ron Paul stands for integrity and consistency and would bring pride back to this republic with a "Foreign Policy of Freedom".

Thank you Bruce, NV -- I respect that you are willing to share with us which Republican candidates you prefer and why instead of changing the subject as many do to Democrat bashing.

What's so "maverick" and "rebellious" about subjecting every aspect of campaign finance and political speech to federal regulation? "Establishment" and "totalitarian" maybe, but hardly "maverick" and "rebellious".

Here in John McCain's home state of Arizona we are up to our ears in illegals and his answer to that was to cook up a bill with Ted Kennedy to bring them out of the shadows and give them amnesty. During the last election we overwhelmingly passed 3 very agressive laws to try to control this flood of illegals, so McCain is very familiar with the will of the people in his state. But, true to form, he sponsored a bill which would make most of them legal. I think the wealthy business people, who employ these illegals for slave wages, have gotten his attention with campaign contributions.
I have voted for him several times going all the way back to his time in the house, and I feel betrayed. He will find out how many Arizonans feel the same way come Arizona primary time. If the illegals were still voting, he would be in the drivers seat. Unfortunately for Mr. McCain we passed proposition 200 (which he opposed) and we no longer allow illegals to vote in Arizona.

McCain shot 3 strikes in his foot to put himself out of the race.
He sided with Bush on the Torture and Treatment of Detainees, he sided with Bush on the surge knowing full well 22,500 was not nearly enough, and signing up with Ted Kenndy to give AMNESTY to 20 Million Illegal.
