McCain is not my ideal candidate, far from it, but it seems to me that he’s not that different than Bush. Both backed a form of immigration reform that many of us don’t agree with. Both back the war effort. Bush nominated a potentially liberal SCJ until forced politically to change his nominee. Bush ‘reached across the aisle’ to work with Ted Kennedy on the education bill, etc.. Does that mean if Bush was running no one here would vote for him? I do believe McCain is more liberal/less conservative than Bush, but not be a huge margin.
The difference is, that john mccain would have nobody left in congress to fight him, he will go with the easy choice for supremes,thus it will be at the very least, a moderate who will change into a liberal after years on the bench just like souter(Bush)Kennedy,oconner, stevens
Of course you would, but he'd lose anyway.
(PS -- A really poor argument, that. Try again.)
