This is going to be very interesting! I'm assuming McCain responds to 9/11 in a similar way to Bush, as McCain was a war-hock. Maybe his response is even more intense compared to Bush's. Looking forward to it!
McCain would conduct the Afghanistan War very differently. More ground forces, send troops into Tora Bora, etc.

I guess McCain might convince SC's pro-life evangelical voters by mentioning his adoption of his adopted daughter from Bangldesh Bridget McCain to show how much adoption is an alternative to abortion.
Or maybe Bush “swiftboating” McCain backfires.

Bush was making campaign stops in Chicagoland and SoCal in 2000.

Nobody knew about how the states had become “red” or “blue” until election night 2000. As far as Rove knew, Bush would win all the states his father won 12 years earlier.

John Kerry:



Strengths: Would help bring potential Nader voters into the fold which could help in many battlegrounds

Weaknesses: Would hurt ticket greatly in the South, and could turnoff moderates
Since when was Kerry that far to the left?

Because GOP primary voters thought McCain conceived his daughter with a prostitute.

King : It also is kinda weird to see Republicans allied with the Labour Party given in the past how close of a relationship Ronald Reagan had with Margaret Thatcher

Quest : It indeed is which is  why many reports even said that Prime Minister Blair rooted for President McCain in last year’s election while the Conservative party privately backed senator Biden according to many reports .
Why would the Conservative Party back Biden?
