Nevadamedic, I'm curious as to WHY you think McCain is a conservative. Can you show us, specifically, what he stands for and what he has done that roots him to conservative principles?
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
That 10% will always be alienated. The same for those on the far left. It will take a 3rd party candidate to satisfy them. I fully understand that compromises/lies need to be made in order to get elected, but to say McCain is a conservative is complete bullshit.

conservative/liberal is a sliding scale and every human being hold some of each within in them.....(those who don't should probably be put out of their misery now for the benefit of all humanity)......McCain is more conservative than Clinton, probably (if truth be known) more conservative than Bush......
as I recall, he was calling for a "surge" in Iraq a year before Bush and the generals on the ground did....and he was one of the few Republicans I recall speaking out against high spending in the last six years......I haven't decided who I am going to vote for yet, but whoever said they would vote for Clinton before the voted for McCain is a fool (or a Democrat, but that would be redundant)......
...full immersion.....

the war.......
McCain is the likeliest GOP nominee at this point.
In a general election, he would lose to Obama badly. He has two strikes against him:
- He is too old for the presidency. He's older even than Reagan was. The contrast between McCain's age and Obama's youthful energy will work to McCain's detriment.
- McCain is tied to the disastrous Bush Iraq policy. The Iraq war has been repudiated by 2/3 of the American people. None of the GOPers can win as long as they advocate the failed Bush foreign policy. Ron Paul is the only one who has repudiated the Bush doctrine.
