I think the size of the thread and overwhelming negative response to McCain serves to illustrate the negative feelings toward McCain are not going to be overcome by waving the specter of Hillary. Nor do conservatives believe in a liberal concept such as entitlements. The idea that the Republican party is entitled to the W.H., even if McCain is the nominee, is ridiculous...yet a few advance it. Predicated on a faulty argument that McCain is better than Hill. He is not.
I've seen only a couple that actually support him in this thread.
I've seen about a half dozen or so that advocate support of Republicans traditionally and expect everyone else to do so.
The vast majority have taken the time to register their support for Jim Robinson's position. That McCain will never have their support. Intimidation, lame threats and so forth will not make a dent here. When they finally are forced to accept this is the case, hopefully they'll join the rest of us in seeking someone for the W.H. that is not an egomanical control freak that slam our military and the GOP base in regular fashion.

Is there another viable choice?
Even Jim Robinson has said he is going to support the GOP this year and in 2008.
