| Looks like CNN is picking up on the action. This cannot be of much help for his campaign... |

I think he lost his one advantage with the electorate, the sense they had of his independence, when he so unconditionally supported Bush on Iraq. His portrayal of himself as Bush Lite isn't fooling or attracting anyone.

I have a lot of respect for Johnny McCain, as do many veterans of his era, and it greatly saddens me to see him become a buffoon second only to Fred Thompson.
I think the mauling he let the vile Rove/Bush give him in 2000 actually began to make him politically irrelevant and now he is grasping at straws that he can't reach. I think that soon he will drop out of it, and then leave politics with, one hopes, some shreads of dignety left.
He has served his country honorably for many years and deserves better than what he is bringing down upon himself.

As a Vietnam vet myself, I agree about McCain's war record. I deeply respect that. He was truly heroic.
But, as you imply, he can't coast forever on his finest hours. McCain's helped an new generation of young people to experience the horrors of war. Unfortunately, this has overshadowed his heroism in the "Hanoi Hilton."

Yes, despite not mentioning god, jesus or christianity at all, and only mentioning religion in the context of "back off!", the Constitution nevertheless establishes America as a Christian nation.  |

I suppose it's consistent with every other aspect of Christianity. There's no evidence at all that Jesus was a divine avatar and rose from the dead or that yahweh exists and that god intended the church to be established. So if there's no evidence at all that the Constitution established the US as a Christian nation, then it's perfectly in keeping to say it did. |

Some more from McCain:
John McCain: “Will this person carry on in the Judeo Christian principled tradition”
| McCain: I think the number one issue people should make [in the] selection of the President of the United States is, ‘Will this person carry on in the Judeo Christian principled tradition that has made this nation the greatest experiment in the history of mankind?' |

| What's wrong with this guy? And he's pro-war too? Does he not realize Jesus was an absolute pacifist and therefore Christian principled traditions should include a big helping of anti-war-of-choice sentiment? |

There ain't no such animal as "the greatest experiment." Experiments are either successful or they are not. The successful ones can then be rated for their benefit (greatness); the failures speak for themselves. None of this is possible until the experiment reaches it's conclusion.
Damn, but I'm getting sick of political hyperbole, and it hasn't even gotten started yet!
