If this were how John McCain would behave as President then I could vote for him. The problem is while this is him at his best. I still remember him at his worst. The gang of 14, Amnesty, etc. The problem I have is I can't see any of the others running even capable of giving such a clear speech as this on Iraq or anything else for that matter. McCain sure is a thorn in the side but he is a thorn we know. Do we not think Romney or Huckabee would work with Democrats with as much or more glee than McCain has? That is the problem I've been wrestling with. I don't see the others as being better men than the thorn we already know and if we are going to have a thorn we might as well have one who isn't afraid of a fight because it is clear to me that Romney and Huckabee both are lacking in fight.

Anyone who does not use their vote on Election Day to stop the Democrats is a traitor unworthy of American freedom from that day forward.

John McCain's goal is to take the right out of the Republican party.
Look at his comments over the years about the intolerance of Falwell and "bigots" who wanted the borders closed.

Maelstrom, after hearing that speech, I e-mailed McCain to tell him that I would be proud to follow him into battle. Now, I'm not so enthusiastic about him, but I will still vote for him against any Democrat - they are truly the party of evil personified.

People tout McCain’s 82% approval rating on conservative matters. That’s his overall rating. I heard his most recent rating, the last voting year, is only 65%. I don’t think he’s getting more conservative. I could live with a John McCain of several years ago. Sadly, now he is becoming a caricature of the angry old man.

PS-Obama’s rating is standing at #1 as most liberal Senator per his voting record. I think I read that Hillary! is around #11.

McCain’s a RAT.I don’t vote for RATS.Ever.Even when they call themselves Republicans.It’s just that simple.

I gotta admit though. The line about fatass Moore was an instant classic.
If there's one thing I like about McCain, is that he has this wonderful dry sense of humor. I bet his press conferences will be humorous.
Still wouldn't vote for him though.

To paraphrase Shakespeare, he is a man, take him for all in all. The John McCain who is against some things you may be for, and for some things you may be against, is also the very same person who is for some things that you are for, and against some things that you are against.
