Does anybody have a contingency plan?
By Steve Sailer
The collapse of long-time frontrunner http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3298.
Yet Republicans clearly aren’t happy about McCain’s http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3172 Tuesday. Even with only Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul left in the race, Senator McMentum received just 42 percent of the vote in Louisiana, 26 percent in Washington and 24 percent in Kansas.
The odds still favor McCain http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3224 across the line, due to his early windfall of delegates. But I would guesstimate that, even without a Huckabee miracle comeback, there’s about a 5%-15% chance that McCain won’t actually be running for President when Election Day finally grinds around—nine long months from now. Does anybody have a contingency plan? One may be needed, because McCain is 71 years old. He has twice been struck by cancer—in 1993 and in 2000, when he underwent a 9-hour operation.
And McCain doesn’t have the most placid, reticent of personalities in an era that has made crucifying white males for “gaffes” into a national spectator sport (James http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2183, Trent Lott, etc. etc. etc.)
