Potential Problems For McCain

There has been a lot of discussion about the trouble Rudy Giuliani might have in the GOP primary due to positions he has taken on the subject of gun control. This detailed listing of the McCain positions on gun control make me think he might have a bit of trouble as well. (Hat tip to Instapundit)

Problems with some gun votes are not all McCain will need to overcome. I wrote a while back that all those arguing that McCain was a sure winner because he is so loved by the media and gets along so well with Democrats were wrong because as soon as he became the GOP nominee he would become a target. I predicted that one of the most likely criticisms he would face would be of his temperment. It appears there are already bits of ammunition coming to light.

I'm on my wife's laptop (computer, that is) and without my usual bookmarks. I clicked on Captain's Quarters in your blogroll and was taken to a vacation site. You might want to fix that (or else demand some kind of compensation from them).

McCain is delusional if he thinks all the garbage he said about the evangelical, religious-right in the primary season of 2000 will NOT come back to haunt him.

But since he probably will be running against at least one person the evangelical community supports - maybe he just plans on repeating the same stuff. A sure ticket to victory in a GOP primary season...

McCain is a sure "frontrunner," not winner. His 25-35% of the vote won't get any bigger, and it may even be enough to win primaries if there are two or three other strong and viable candidates in the race.

Once it boils down to two, though, he's in trouble even if he "makes the finals." His long history of going off half-cocked in his own direction, such as with BCFRA, the "Gang of 14," and etc., will not be forgotten by conservatives.

He might have the easiest time in the general election of any of the potential GOP nominees, but he will find winning the nomination extremely difficult.
