I’m starting to believe that McCain doesn’t really want to win, or that he is really running as the “moderate Democrat” in this race. This article, albeit from the LA Times, accurately assesses the situation on the ground here in Ohio. I have planned to hold my nose and vote for him in November, but as each day passes, it is getting harder and harder to see myself doing that. I have little respect for this man. I am beginning to believe that McCain has no core principles, that he is as bad as Bill Clinton. In the end, I’ll probably just focus my attention on local contests.

Up to now I was going to hold my nose... now I’m seriously re-evaluating the wisdom of a vote for JMC. We’ll see who he picks for VP. If it’s Crist, I won’t vote for the “couple”.
Maybe he watched the governor’s race last year, saw how well the social conservatives were able to turn out the vote for someone they loved, and figures he better hedge his bets.
