John McCain is not inevitable


It's way too early to call the front runner for the Republican nomination, but not too early to remind people why someone shouldn't be elected.
I think Jed Babbin is dead on with this analysis.

McCain has been a media darling ever since he grandstanded his “anti-torture” amendment in faux opposition to the Bush administration’s policy (which didn’t allow torture, a practice that was illegal years before McCain’s amendment). As McCain gains momentum toward ’08, his former media friends will be tossing him in the same frying pan as all the other potential nominees. All it will take is one big explosion of the McCain temper and those same former friends will be writing editorials and op-eds comparing him to Captain Queeg. McCain has a very long way to go before he’s locked up anything. And so does Sen. Clinton.

Of course there is also the small matter that John McCain regularly tries to circumvent the U.S. Constitution and may well be guilty of treason for that.

Or the fact that he regularly breaks promises to his own constituents.
