Can McCain survive double blows to his campaign?
If you asked many Republicans what would be the kiss of death for a candidate seeking their vote, learning that the New York Times has endorsed your candidate of choice would have to be at the top of the list. Add in a defacto endorsement by Bill Clinton and it should make voting for John McCain next to impossible. While I'm sure Independents and Democrats will crow about the New York Times' endorsement, responsible Republicans should be concerned. If the NYT, Bill Clinton, big media, Ieft-leaning Independents, and Democrats are so excited about McCain's candidacy, then I'm pretty sure he's not the guy for me. In a true Republican primary, these should be death blows to McCain's campaign - regardless of how many senators and governors endorse him. Come on Florida Republicans, don't let me down.
