Elections are often not about choosing the perfect candidate but PREVENTING A GREATER EVIL FROM TAKING OVER.

McCain might only meet 60 to 70% of your criteria in terms of policy but what is worse ? getting 70% or getting virtually none ?

YES. And more importantly, had enough Republicans voted like me (in your words, "settled"), WE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED the most liberal senator who WILL DEFINITELY fill the courts with bench legislators from taking over.
