9. not sure, but it's been rumored that Mittens could reenter the race....
since he only "suspended" his campaign. Could have been the plan all along, cause the media knew all these things before McCain became the presumptive nominee. It all kinda reeks to me.

12. Why not?
You think queasy Repubs would pick a Mormon when there's an honest-to-Gawd born again preacher standing around with nothing to do?

3. Sure
Sure

"The fact that Obama has McCain on the ropes before he has officially claimed the nomination has to be worrisome for the McCain camp. If the FEC eventually rules against McCain, Obama would be able to outspend McCain 10 to 1, this would keep McCain on defense and the defense he would have would be predominantly dictated by the Mainstream Media access granted to him.

26. The FEC is not going to rule against anybody
The FEC only has two commissioners and is prevented by law from making any rulings. The three vacancies are tied up in the Senate and that is not going to change anytime soon.

8. John McCain would spend as much as he got and pay fines later...
...rather than let the FEC restrict his spending.

14. It's not just fines
He could be looking at jail time if he overspends.

18. If he takes a day off
and puts his veep in charge, maybe. Cheney was prez while Dubya got his ass probed a few years ago. I've wondered if the little shit wasn't carrying a pardon in his wallet since.
