The biggest news so far this election, is former front runner Mitt Romney dropping out of the race. Where will this lead the country? Will Huckabee or Ron Paul step up and seriously challenge John McCain, or will the party just join together to beat the democrats?
The longer Obama and Hillary are attacking each other the better it is for the republicans...
What is the only problem? John McCain just does not appeal to the conservative base like Mitt Romney did. I am finding myself hard pressed to believe that the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, and Jay Severn will have an easy time throwing their support behind John McCain.
These people, along with most serious republicans, are not just going to support John McCain. John McCain is an independent and is very far from a conservative. Then again, are these not the folks that supported George W. Bush the second go around, and then regretted it?

The American people are faced with, perhaps an election for the "lesser of two evils". The question is, are the American people willing to go through another 2004? If they are not, which I don't assume they are, there will be many independents running for President this year.
These events could and just may, change the way we know politics. The American people's anger is at an all time high, and no longer will they just side with somebody just because they hate the other more. The republican's whole campaign has been run on two things... 9/11 and beating Hillary.
We all found out how good running on a 9/11 was, it just didn't site well with the American people. Eventually, John McCain will find himself at a loss if he continues to push the "safety" factor. Hillary Clinton could sure as hell beat him in that, thanks to her husband. Really, John McCain only has one card, and that is that America hates Hillary.
If Hillary wins the democratic nomination, I really feel going one on one with John McCain, she would win over Americas love.
John McCain better get geared up to get hurt... the Ron Paul revolution will attack! John McCain will be fighting a movement that few can explain, a movement that John McCain is against. I truly believe that Rudy Giuliani's campaign was crippled by Ron Paulites.
At this point, few can actually say that Ron Paul could beat John McCain for the republican nomination. This will truly anger the half of million plus, Americans that support Ron Paul's ideas. John McCain, even if Ron Paul doesn't run in a third party, will be fighting Ron Paul's movement all the way up until November.
John McCain can argue all he wants with the idea that he is better for America than Hillary Clinton; but he is going to have a difficult time if he is fighting for a conservative name, while still appealing to the masses. This election, mark my words, will be divided bitterly... The Libertarian party, and possibly the Constitution Party will rise out of the ashes and will be a huge spoiler. These two parties will cripple John McCain's only playing card.
