I will be very interested in seeing how this plays out as John McCain is my current choice for president. (Hint: If Huckabee get the GOP nod, I am voting Democratic ... whoever it is.) I also find it ironic that George Bush's refusal to compromise with Congress over FEC nominations could potentially damage the GOP primary process.

So much for that "straight talk express" image. What a joke! He sold out all of his beliefs and morals to the right wing nuts, in order to get hid presidential bid. Again, Macains an absoute joke!! The only ones who will vote for him are right wing fruitcakes who only care about strutting around and telling each other how great we are,, and we are the best, while using fear mongering to scare people into thinking we are on the verge of being attacked at every moment.
