Only Democrats would talk about McCain like he actually has a shot at the nomination. Your party knows him better than ours does, but that's why he's NOT a Republican. He is doing well in polls, because Huckabee has run off with the evangelicals.

When Huckabee drops out, Mitt Romney will surge upward. He has lost the social conservatives who stubbornly cling to Huck for lack of a better candidate. Their betrayal at the hands of the GOP make them bitter on this point, but they will endorse Mitt Romney in the end.

Republicans know McCain is crazy, too. He is just having his moment in the sun before being put out to pasture.
