McCain announces he will run for POTUS
No suprise to me. Pulled from DRUDGE this morning. To make sure he squashes the evil she-devil Hillary, he really needs to think about his VP. I think Rudy Gulliani should go ahead and run with him. I would vote for them.
NO JOKE: MCCAIN ANNOUNCES ON LETTERMAN!
Wed Feb 28 2007 20:41:28 ET
Sen. John McCain (R., AZ) announced that he will be a candidate for President of the United States in 2008 during tonight’s taping of the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN. The interview will be broadcast Wednesday, Feb. 28 (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
“The last time we were on this program, I’m sure you remember everything very clearly that we say, but you asked me if I would come back on this show if I was going to announce,” Sen. McCain told Letterman. “I am announcing that I will be a candidate for President of the United States.”
McCain said although this was the announcement of his candidacy, a formal announcement will be made in April. “This is the announcement – you know, you drag this out as long as you can,” Sen. McCain said to laughter from Letterman and the audience. “You know what I mean? You know, you don’t just have one rendition. You’ve got to go over and over…This is the announcement preceding the formal announcement.”
Letterman later asked Sen. McCain if he would consider “the possibility President/Vice President, that kind of a thing, you divide that sort of deal up. You’re not interested in splitting that?” Sen. McCain said Well, you may remember that in the last election there was some conversation about me being Vice President of the Untied States, it wasn’t clear which party,” which garnered laughter from Letterman and the audience. “And I was on one of the shows and the guy said, ‘Well, what’s this about you being Vice President of the United States?’ I said, ‘You know, I spent all those years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, kept in the dark, fed scraps – why the heck would I want to do that all over again?”

A) What makes you believe McCain is the only person who can defeat Shrillary-IF she wins the Democrat nomination?
B) Why do you think McCain is the only person for the job (POTUS)?

Okay, lets take it a step further, why do you think Rudolph Giuliani is a good choice for the republican party? To me, he looks more like a left leaning independent. His stance on Gun control, abortion, global warming, religion, just to name a few, don't jive with the republicans and outside of the GWOT, those are the right's hot button points.
I'm just pointing these things out. I haven't seen a candidate yet that I want to vote for. Call me a died in the wool hard core independent who would prefer a wild ass, you don't need a ton of money campaign so we could find someone who really knows what it's like to be a middle class American to run this country.
Never happen.

Not leaning toward any candidate right now Kyo. I was interested in why ABN FO thinks McCain is the best man for the job of POTUS. As a conservative Republican I am not happy with any of them at the moment, and until someone speaks to my values and beliefs I will maintain an open mind listening to the debate of available candidates.

Concur.
The current candidates do not motivate me to vote FOR anyone.
I might go to the polls to vote AGAINST someone.
I cannot tolerate the security, immigration, defense, and Second Amendment positions of Giuiliani or McCain.
A good, CONSERVATIVE VP candidate might motivate me to vote for the ticket, especially if the candidate for POTUS has health issues (as McCain may have).
Cold, but my opinion and perceptions.

Just curious, with which of their respective security and defense positions do you disagree?
