If McCain genuinely wants the support of conservatives, now and through November, then he needs to do what every politician seeking the support of any given voting bloc routinely does, and meet their specifically vocalized needs to such an extent as to earn said support.

As the recent outpouring of raw, naked outrage on the NRCC web site makes both manifest and plain: insofar as the voting conservative base is concerned, he demonstrably has not done so.

Responsibility for the adamant rejection of John McCain by the conservative voting bloc, therefore, rests ultimately with the unsatisfactory candidate, and he alone.

It does no good whatsoever to hop up and down like so many amphetamined spider monkeys, agitatedly shrilling "OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMAOBAMAOBAMA!!!," as Barack Obama is not running as the Republican candidate for the presidency this year; McCain is. He either closes the deal himself, based on his ability to persuade conservatives what he himself has to offer them (if anything)... or: he does not.

LOL!!! Are you PJ O'Rourke hiding out here? Sounds like a way to have some fun at the Congress (turn loose your pets on a day they're going to vote to further sell us into slavery).

No, wrong. Self-described conservatives need to decide whether they love their country enough to vote against Barak Hussein Obama, and his entourage of officials, judges, etc. taking it over. As with Bill Clinton, assume it would be at least 8 years if not another 16.
