The Rascal has been telling you for weeks that the presidential candidacy of John McCain is doomed, and now here's more evidence supporting that prediction.
I used to admire McCain -- until he starting kissing up to the same creeps in the Bush camp (Karl Rove's people) who slurred him in the South Carolina Republican primary of 2000.
Lately, it's been almost painful to watch McCain's disintegration. He's been desperately flailing about in a quest for renewed political traction, flip-flopping on issues, contradicting himself, acting weird. Even the mainstream media, most of whom previously embraced him, are figuratively shaking their heads.
It's over for McCain. He's done. There's no way he'll win the Republican nomination, and it's not even likely that he'll remain in the running through the end of summer.
I've also said that Rudy Giuliani's bid for the GOP presidential nod is hopeless, and I'm standing by that prediction despite his big lead in the polls these days. Once the hard-core right-wingers in the Republican fold realize that Giuliani is pro-choice, pro-gay rights, anti-gun and thrice-married (once to his second cousin), they'll turn against him en masse.

So, Rascal, who is going to be the nominee? And any predictions on the goodguy side?
Will: The GOP nomination is a tough call. The guys we can rule out (some of whom aren't even announced candidates)are Tancredo, Huckabee, Pataki, Hagel and Hunter. I've already said Romney has no chance, but I'm wavering a bit on that one. The one Republican who might make a surge from back in the pack is Sam Brownback. He's more than acceptable to the religious right and he's shown a bit of independence on the war in Iraq. He's also a bonafide compassionate conservative. And he's attractive and articulate. Keep an eye on him. Among the Democrats, I'm still betting on Obama. I think Hillary's campaign somehow will implode. Edwards? Not impossible, but I doubt it.
Will: One more thought: Gingrich would be an exciting candidate for the GOP, but he'd also be a juicy target for the Dems. Remember, he served divorce papers on his wife while she was hospitalized with cancer. Nice guy.
