Senator John McCain has, at this point, moreorless declared his intention to run for the 2008 Republican Party Nomination.

Should he decide to do such a thing, have no doubt: John McCain will be the next President of the United States

I absolutely disagree Benny! 

Secondly it is formed from the idea that the GOP is against providing Federal Funding to Stem Cell Research. Why should the American taxpayer be forced to pay for something that so many of the American Taxpayers are so deadset against?

...so many of the American Taxpayers are so deadset against?

Condi will not be running on the GOP ticket.

The Republicans will most likely be nominating either Rudy Giuliani or John McCain. Both men are immensely popular, Giuliani for his status as a 9/11 hero, and a man that had been extremely popular before that as well. McCain for his status was a genuine war hero and his perception as a Uniting Maverick in Politics.

Either man would use their immense popularity as well as their status as males to steamroll Hillary.

We can see how those odds stand up when Hillary comes under the full glare of the GOP war machine. It's ridiculous to be placing betting odds on Election 2008 when we arent even through 2005 yet.

hahah not in 2005 Im not thats for sure.

I believe that should he run for the GOP nomination he will be.

I do however think it is ridiculously early to place betting odds. These betting institutions seem unreliable at best, both out of touch with the Americna psyche and the sheer power of the Republican Information Machine.

William Hills is the largest bookmakers in the UK, its a licenced and legal enterprise.
The odds they give are purely a reflection of where the punters are placing their money.

I could live with McCain. Good man.

Well, maybe, compared to bush anyway ...

He might have trouble with the southern vote though.

I never said I was happy that he would be President, just that I think he will be. Hopefully I am wrong.

Rice I could vote for. Given the current choice of Republican hopefuls however, I may very well be supporting Democratic candidate Joeseph Biden in 2008. He is certainly the best candidate to come out so far.

Maybe if he runs as a democrat.  He doesn't stand a snowballs chance in 'ell of winning the Republican nomination.  His willingness to toss the 2nd amendment will sink him even if his other Liberal ideas don't. Do you have any idea how much money the NRA is going to spend making sure he doesn't get nominated?  Hundreds of millions.  IIRC they NRA has about 35 million members.  At 10 bucks a head, that is 350 million that John's opponents will get. McCain is a RINO (Republican in name only).  He won't get a dollar of my money, and I suspect I'm not the only carded donor that feels that way.  No, McCain will fold after he runs out of money just before the Iowa primary.  The only people that are really keen on John are the Liberal Media types.  They LOVE RINO's.  Unfortunately for McCain, they vote Democrat.

Interestingly enough, the US' extremely short history is already vastly more admirable than the history of any of the haughty European nations.

I cannot see a constitutional amendment being passed that would allow Arnold to run between now and 2008.
