On NBC's Chris Matthews Show yesterday, David Brooks said conservatives had warmed to John McCain, and Matthews said he'd heard the same thing. ... Let's see. Conservatives are for McCain. Liberals like McCain. Centrists love McCain. Doesn't that mean McCain might, er, win? Who's going to vote against him? In a general election, it seems like McCain would come close to being elected by acclamation! It will take all the genius of the American political system to make sure he isn't on the ballot. ...
Care of the often brilliant Kaus. Emphasis in the original.

Cuz conservatives aren't really for McCain. Or rather the base, or at least a huge segment of the base, is against him. The cultural warriors from the ideological right would think about running a third party candidate -- somebody like Frist? -- if he gets the nomination, which would give the presidency to the Dems.
Just some thoughts. I actually think McCain could win in a landslide if the base and his enemies in the Republican Party would get behind him. Hopefully it all falls apart and Wesley Clark or someone like him wins.
