5. McCain won't be their nominee. Their base dislikes him too much.
They had their chance to go with him in 2000. They blew it and went for Shrub.

8. Don't hold your breath...

Keep an eye on South Carolina. Religion plus working class concerns might put him over the top. The Republican rank and file are every bit as dissatisfied as are Democrats.

9. His Whole Campaign Is Predicated On A Win In Iowa...
He's in the process of blowing a sixteen point lead...That's the story...

11. It''s the dog story
we're a nation of pet lovers. not saying that the flood of bad news about his releasing violent criminals, accepting expensive gifts etc, didn't have an impact, but that dog story was the proverbial straw.

12. the polls
I was watching Mike Dukakis the other day- I think on PBS or C-span. He basically said the polls are b.s. before the primaries. Said they we're more reliable after. I think if elections can be stolen, then surely polls can be.
