The thing is....he's not all that electable. He does nothing to inspire the Republican base and you know as well as I that once it comes down to just one Dem and one Rep candidate his "support" from the left will evaporate and all sorts of "new" evils will be "discovered" by the same media that acts like they love him now.

Core Republicans froth at the thought that McCain, as president, might actually cooperate with Democrats to get things done.

What so many non-conservatives don't get is that we don't want things to get done....every time a law is passed the shine of freedom is scuffed up a bit. Gridlock is our friend

He's done so in the past. He also has a very consistently conservative voting record, which Republicans tend to overlook. But it's precisely because they can't stand to consider compromise that they might be willing to forego supporting the ONLY Republican that can win a presidential election in the current electoral climate.

The thing is he also has a knack for compromising with the Dems on things that are fundamentally against our beliefs....and since it is most likely the next congress will be in the control of the Dems the only things that will get "done" are things that he tends to agree with them on......so basically all of the Dem issues will get attention while the Conservative needs go by the way side.
