Sure McCain is a liberal Republican - despite his posturing to the contrary - but he's arguably more palatable to conservatives than the Donkeys.
As for myself, I'm still undecided. There aren't a lot of great choices, so I'll probably do what I usually do in November - vote for the candidate that I think can do the least damage over the coming four years. ;P
Aren't politics great?
McCain is the smart choice for the Republicans inasmuch as he is a liberal republican.
Meaning he stand the best chance in the slim or no chance the republican party has of winnning in 08.
A victory over Clintoon/Obabama is going ot be nothing short of a major upset. As the Demoncrats have poisoned the public so much with the anti Bush propoganda.
The public will only see any Republican as being another Bush.
There is a slim chance of the Reps pulling out a victory.
But two things are going to happen.
Two things Bush can accomplish to turn it around.
1 Remove the War froom the equasion by beginning to very publically bringing the troops home. But Bush is just hardheaded enough not to do that.
2 Do something that can be very publically claimed that turns the economy around in a major way.
And the Democrates are unlikely to do much in the way of helping him accomplish that. they will help just enough to keep it from completely collapsing but no more.
To do so would give Bush a political victory.
and the major reason they have been successful at painting bush as a demon is their unwillingness to do anything that might give him a political victory.
To do so now would be like stopping and kneeling it out with the end zone and winning touchdown in sight at the 10 yard line with no defenders within 30 yards.
