Arlen Spector, Chuck Hagel, Lindsay Graham, Susan Collins. McCain used to be more of a straight talker, but I would not trust him now. Other honest Republicans will surface after the election

Yes I definitely think so I think hes the only Republican with any hope. I'm a Democrat and even I like McCain.

McCain might be a good choice because he, more than just about anyone else, can reach across party lines and solve problems.  He tends to work well with Democrats while maintaining his own virtues.  He has a strong military background which is important at this time.  He has a great Senate record.

Well Kasey is a very good drive and yes i think that he could pull that off. But the thing is with him every time he gets the poll he falls behind. GO KASEY!!!!

I think that John Kerry would be a good President.  That being said, he does not appeal to a large majority of the country and he has to really consider whether he can win for the Democratic Party.  He could not win against George Bush, a fairly unpopular President.  Could he win against John McCain, a very popular Senator (even with Democrats)?  Maybe not, and he has to consider that and let someone else take the reins if he does not believe he can change his image outside of the Northeast.

McCain scares me.  Seriously, at one time I thought he may just be a good candidate for the Republican ticket.  Not anymore.  I think he's a poll watcher and a loose cannon. \n\n I did not hear him make that statement....can you  provide a link?

Although John McCain is the nemesis of the neo-con branch of the Republican party, he still has the best chance of winning the primary. Condi isn't a serious contender and aside from her present "gig" doesn't have enough experience in governance to be taken seriously. Guiliani might have been a contender, but his personal piccadillos will have him raked over the coals in a primary (i.e., married three times and cheated on his second wife while still mayor of N.Y.) Can you see the red state voters, with their fondness for family values, voting for Guiliani? Therefore, McCain stands out as a front runner since he's pretty "clean" morality wise and has the gravitas to lead the nation.

YES he is a great president. \n\nWe were attacked by a militant group on AMERICAN SOIL. Since then we have made an offensive to stop such acts, and we were not attacked since. ALL OF THE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE AGAINST THE WAR, wanted to go to WAR in the 90's during the Clinton administration. Now that the republicans are doing the right thing the democrats are having a hissy fit. I love my country and so should you.

H. Clinton.  I like McCain better as a person (even though he has a nasty temper), but though he is smart, he holds too many extreme positions along with his good ones (e.g., anti-choice, pro-invasion) and when push has come to shove the past 6 years he has supported and campaigned for Bush's agenda each time, with the exception of campaign reform and -- to a degree -- torture of detainees.

John McCain. He will do well with the veterans and those concerned with foreign policy, plus those who believe in good government.

Personally, I hope none.  If a good Democratic candidate does not come forward for 2008 though, I would not be ashamed of voting for McCain.  He has done some things that I am happy with like being buddy buddy with President Bush, even though he does not like or agree with him on many topics, but I understand that he does that so he does not lose political favor within his party.\n   My sincere hope is that we can have a fair, just election, that elects a man or woman into office that is going to do everything he/she can to improve the country, economy, living conditions of the porr, and develop friendly relations with other countries of the world.\n   Voting is not only a right of citizens of the United States, it is a privilege and responsibility.  Hopefully, this election will have a high turn out of people who truly educate themselves on the issues, platforms of the candidates, and vote based on what is right and just.\n   It is a shame that both parties have people like gogo who, rather than reasonably discussing their point of view, feel it is necessary to flame people.  That is where the sterotype of uneducated voters comes from.

I like McCain, also. (if the choice is between the two)\nHillary scares me to death.\n\nHave a nice day!

There are many factors that should be considered including the two you mention.  I think integrity is important, but intelligence and statemanship are also important.  I think an ability to heal the great differences that are threatening to tear this country apart and unite us is the single most important characteristic that the next president must bring to the office.  \n\nMoral character has been lacking in the last two presidents.  One had sex in the White House; the other either lied to get us into a war or was fooled and couldn't figure a way to get us out of it later.  Which is worse? You decide.  I have no use for either of 'em.\n\nWe need someone who can unite us.  I see no one I have any faith in with the possible exception of John McCain.  He has all of the qualities I mentioned, plus he would have credibility as a Commander-In-Chief, something else that has been lacking at the White House for a long time.

Yes.  I love how the news channels referred to John Kerry as "very presidential."  Meaning, he looks, talks and carries himself a certain way.  What a crock that you have to meet a criteria of looking good and being a smooth talker in order to even get your foot into the door.

I vote for Barack Obama. John McCain has had too many chances to run for president and has proven to be indecisive at the last moment. Barack Obama is more decisive in his decisionmaking and would offer new viewpoints on issues. John McCain is from the old politics when all is said and done. He cultivates a progressive republican attitude which in reality he does not follow thru. Give USA Barack in 2008 and we'll do great !!
