The Republicans could have been competitive in this election, had they nominated a candidate suitable for the presidency (i.e. McCain.)

I'm not sure if Bush will win or not but he almost certainly will be competitive.

As far as considering McCain a suitable candidate - Would you say that this opinion is derived from your views on his positions, his ability, his character or his electability?
As far as I can tell he is an able person of good character, but the more I learned about some of his positions the more I started to be against him (on a relative basis I'd still much rather have him as
President then Clinton or Gore), and I think his electability was overrated. He could perhaps be a good candidate but he in my opinion would have some
problems getting the conservative base behind him 100% (though many might still vote for him as a vote against Gore), and the Democrats that voted for him in the open primaries would mostly vote for Gore in the general election.
