Who would vote for McCain as president?

I wouldn't.\n\nA few reasons:\n- when I was a registered independent, I actually liked him; but, then I came to realize he was a smooth talker that just knows how to play the system. I realized this after taking an online survey that matched my stance on issues with politician's stance on issues. I was shocked when it had me less matched with McCain than even Bush. I clicked on the details part where you can see where they stand... bottom line is that McCain is farther to the right than even Bush and he is such a smooth talker, that you don't realize it.\n- His wife is addicted to pain killers. Now don't get me wrong. I am not crashing on ppl that suffer from addictions. I am just not comfortable with a man that didn't realize his wife was a drug addict until 1996.\n- His age and the fact that he has already had cancer. I would have to definitely like his vp.

I can't imagine. Probably McCain or Clinton or Obama or Jeb Bush. The problem is that none of these candidates are worthy of our vote. As long as the 'Republicrats' have such a corrupt monopolistic stranglehold on our political system, the people of America will continue to have only one choice: the lesser of two evils.                               -RKO-

I am a White Republican over 50.  I would vote for Colin Powell or Condi Rice tomorrow.\n\nIf they support Conservative values, and want to keep America strong, then I say let it be here and now.

I think McCain and Powell compliment each other nicely. Their messages were very similar, while Powell served the State Dept., and they were both combat veterans. Very thoughtful, and sensitive men, with the will to make unpopular decisions, so long as they believe it's the right thing to do. This would be the Republican ticket I would vote for.

Evan Bayh. I wouldn't vote for any of the other people listed here. McCain, while I respect his service record, is too quick to give in to party pressure. Condi for the same reason. Hillary is too wishy-washy. Mitt Romney is WAY too conservative for me. The only Republican I would consider voting for would be William Weld, also a former Massachusetts governor. Funny, nobody's mentioned Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, or Tom DeLay. Wheres the support for Bush's cronies?

John Bolton\n\nNo bad mouthing Condi; I sorta got a thing for her\n\n\nA vote for McCain is a vote for "them"

I think that I would vote for the person running that I feel would be most qualified to get us out of the mess that the current Hawks has got us into. That person could very well be Hilliary Clinton if running against a incompentant person with an private agenda and an ax to grind.

I like McCain mostly, but the Republicans wont allow him to run.

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.

McCain has no chance of getting the Republican nomination. \n\nIt's the mainstream press that's crazy about him, real Republicans don't like him at all.

I'm a Democrat but I would vote for him if the democrats don't put a good candidate. He isn't a conservative, but a moderate. He is pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and he is tough on crime. I like that in a person but I don't think he will win the nomination. The conservatives in the Republican party won't vote for him and most of them vote in the primaries. He will lose and I think McCain would get the nomination. He's from NY, has any northerner been elected president in recent times? I think his chances are slim of being nominated.

Senator McCain will run for President and in an effort to show bi-partisanship, he will select Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate!

I think Hillary would be good but i also think that john McCain would be a good president. It's gonna be hard for me to vote if those 2 are running against eachother.

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

Do you mean who would I want to win, or who will win the Republican nomination for President in 2008?\n\nI would prefer McCain. Despite his recent pandering to the right, McCain has shown a history of voting with his conscience and really trying to find the right result, not the one most likely to get him re-elected (the last few years changed his image in my mind a bit, but he's still a front-runner in the Republican party for me). And I don't think I could handle another Bush in the White House. Jeb's handling of the Schiavo case was painful to watch.\n\nAs for you will win it? I'd still go with McCain. He's picked up a lot of GW Bush's campaign team and monetary support. He's a front-runner at this time.\n\nBut there's a long time to get there, a lot of other candidates out there (i.e., Giuliani, Romney, Pataki, etc.), and a whole slew of Democrats who want to get to the White House in 2008, too.
