McCain: "Winning in the fall will be 'uphill battle'
Trying to rally the troops. I don't think he has it in him. Besides, the troops have been abandoned. Why should they rally back?
Even if McCain committed to signing in his own blood pledges against amnesty and First Amendment assaults, I would have a difficult time trusting him.
If he did happen to win in November (and I have my doubts he would defeat Obama and it would even be a toss up with Clinton), as soon as he was sworn in, he would again middle-finger the conservatives to helped him get elected.
The true signal to the conservatives will be whether he nominates an overt conservative as VP. If he goes for a middle-of-roader, the conservatives are SOL.

Frankly, conservatives have been so useless to the party recently, they deserve to be SOL.
I wish that weren't so, but it is. We destroyed president Bush as insufficiently puritanical, for example. That has consequences.
So face them already, and deal.
