Smart move not running they will never beat McCain and he can wait until next time.

If McCain does win, the American people will be begging JE or someone else with his message to run in 2012. such will be the state of the economy that his message of two Americas will resonate with all but the top 5%.

@ butch:

John McCain's honeymoon will end when the Democratic candidates stop their dog fight. What can McCain run on? The Iraq War? The economy? The gutting of the justice department? Illegal domestic spying? The environment and climate change?

Bottom line: McCain is the candidate of the party with no credibility. His poll numbers will drop like a stone when the real debate begins.

Obama 08!

Perhaps you have heard the term "sly like a fox?" I believe that McCain is much smarter that people give him credit for. He is just quietly letting HRC and Obama destroy the democrats chance for president in 08. Unless something changes McCain will win the war and never have to fire a shot. I personally don't believe any of the candidates are worth a vote, but I would rather have the devil I know (McCain), than the devils I don't know (Obama or HRC). At least with McCain you know what you will get for your vote. With Obama what will we get? With HRC we will get whatever she thinks we want to hear at the time and then change her mind if it blows up in her face. Besides you should worry about who his V.P. will be more than him as president. At his age he might not live another 4 years, you never know.

"I believe that McCain is much smarter that people give him credit for."

John McCain managed to lose the 2000 Republican primary to George W. Bush. And McCain's Republican challengers this year were all pathetic.

"At least with McCain you know what you will get for your vote."

True, but is "No peace, no prosperity" a winning platform?

Obama 08!
