I never said the McCain was a conservative.....he is a moderate for sure........I simply said that his record shows he votes with the Repubs 80% of the time and he supports the party alot more than disagrees with it.....that is all...the media like to show him only when he is disagreeing with a Repub position......I choose to also see his positive side as well as his negative....
McCain certainly doesn't mind at all being dragged out as token-Republican attack dog for the media. In fact, he revels in it.
Hillary appears to be in all out kingmaker mode. Partners (occasionally partners in crime) Kerry and McCain seem to be on her short list.
