You act as if the country is yours for the risking. The McCain candidacy should tell you that our country is already lost. So, as long as you have the one hand up, why not raise the other (and try to see the handwriting on the wall.)
Our nation’s only hope (hyperbole purposely omitted here) is that his candidacy stalls/dies somehow, the Republicrats realize that McCain will not get them what they want (they will bleed too many voters by forcing him on an electorate that demands more) and that they will ultimately BACK OFF AND DO WHAT’S RIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY (something that you’ve indicated by your post is of vital concern to you.) The last hope for our nation is that the Republicans will find a nominee that holds to (not shies away from) true conservative values.
I’m a bit amazed at the acceptance of the McCain candidacy, in all truth. Where did he come from? How did he so suddenly rise (meteorically) to surpass all the other candidates? He has never had such a following before (though he’s been around for a while)—how is it that he so all of a sudden shot up and began to run the table? Is it because people finally recognized he has the right agenda? I don’t think so. His candidacy is all so contrived. His ascendancy seems so, I don’t know, non-reality-based. All this flocking to him seems so desperate (did someone figure on that?) The divisiveness of detractors to McCain as perceived by those who accept the McCain candidacy is certainly one way to look at things. But from the other side, the diviseness begins with the advancing of the McCain candidacy and then the acquiescing to it by those who seem to be acting in desperation (something, in my view, the Republican party has been willing to trade on in the past few elections.)
Sorry for the doom and gloom (no, I’m not), it’s just that you think you’ve got something “better” with McCain and too much of his record says, “Oh no you don’t.”
Talking to the hand? I do it for a living—I’m a conservative that teaches in the public school system. I’m used to people not listening, not understanding, having a limited view of things, desperate to have their own way, etc.
Oh please! I don't buy into the all-or-nothing ("If I can't get everything I want I'll just have to blow my brains out") game. That's for defeatist losers.

may I suggest not spending to much time at the mirror...
