Michael B. I wonder what was going on in the back rooms of the RNC? That's how I think McCain got where he is now. McCain should be ok with the social conservatives being they all had a lot of bones to pick with Rudy and Mitt (those Beast Coasters just can't help themselves)--- the people who will have the biggest problem with McCain are the libertarian thinking Republicans. His age can be an issue, but I don't think anyone wants to be accused of age-ism, so it's not talked about so much---plus McCain's mamma is 96 and still going strong from what I last heard--good genes??? The Iran issue is something else. I don't think Bush will instigate anything on his own. But if the merry mullahs (I got that one from you Rick) start crap (as if they haven't been all along) then the ddo-doo might fly. Another thing I've thought about is let's say in 2012 or whenever and the next generation (my generation) who weren't of age during Vietnam or never served in the military just because we had other things in mind--is that going to be a detriment against them running for POTUS? Actually I would like feedback on this question. Drewsmom:

I wonder what was going on in the back rooms of the RNC? That’s how I think McCain got where he is now. McCain should be ok with the social conservatives being they all had a lot of bones to pick with Rudy and Mitt (those Beast Coasters just can’t help themselves)— the people who will have the biggest problem with McCain are the libertarian thinking Republicans. His age can be an issue, but I don’t think anyone wants to be accused of age-ism, so it’s not talked about so much—plus McCain’s mamma is 96 and still going strong from what I last heard–good genes???
