McCain is done, well done!, His moderate stance is not respected by anyone, especially the base on the right. McCain loves being the focus of the media and if he runs for POTUS in '08 it's strictly for his own ego. He simply has no time in his career as a public service where he can seen as a leader. Moderates simply don't lead, that's why they're called moderates. Moderates rely upon consensus and consensus is defined as the lack of leadership. Maggie Thatcher was once quoted as saying "Consensus is the absence of leadership"

McCain is an idiot and so is Boinobeech.

I don't think the AmeriCain is a moderate. I think he is simply a whore for the liberal media. His big thing was campaign finance reform, and it failed miserably (the last election being the most expensive in history). All CFR did was help the liberal media and the Democratic party. Yet the AmeriCain hardly talks about campaign finance reform anymore, now that the New York Times is satisfied. Why isn't the AmeriCain obsessed with CFR anymore? Why isn't he constantly talking about fixing it? And though the AmeriCain supported Bush in the last election, did you notice that he only specifically trashed the Swift Boat Vets? Did he say a word about Soros? He said nothing about Moveon.org until the Swift Boat Vets for Truth appeared. He had to support Bush to stay in the Republican party, but he did everything he could to help Kerry

The AmeriCain lets the liberal media unabashedly support a Republican (proving they are biased). He is there when the Democrats need to make a bill like CFR "bipartisan." In exchange he gets amazing press in the liberal media.

The AmeriCain is not a moderate or a maverick: he is a whore.

Rush has said that people in the the middle of the road are just roadkill.

Myself, I like people like Bush who can be principled and state what he believes is the best way to proceed, yet not get wild eyed and shreek or lie and slander while he is doing it.

That's my idea of a moderate. Someone with principles they fight for while remaining civil to the opposition.
