It's the prediction of this blog that John McCain will not make it so far as the first primary in the 2008 Republican primary, due to a number of factors:
1) He leads in no national poll, and, in fact, has fallen to at least third place — with fourth place on the way.
2) He is in dire straits when it comes to fundraising.
3) There is simply no logic to his candidacy: He's neither a straight-shooting maverick (the logic of his 2000 run) nor the true conservative (the supposed logic of this run) nor the fall-back consensus candidate (the Dole '96 model — which is hardly operational in such a strong primary field).
Thus, the John McCain death watch...
First items up:
* The Times of London, with some speculation about an early McCain withdrawal.
* A new poll out of Nevada showing Mr. McCain in fourth place, in single digits.
