Cotton, I don't blame McCain for being himself. The blame in this election belongs entirely to conservatives who early on had 2 conservative candidates and would not get behind one of them. We had Duncan Hunter and we had Fred Thompson, and I am CERTAIN that an early rallying behind one of those two, instead of the nit-picking down to the tiniest detail of their blemishes, was has us now with a "name recognition" candidate. The blame for our dilemma lies squarely on our own shoulders. Sure, everyone should feel free to vote their conscience, but what we really need to do is look at how to fix for the future what we screwed up in this primary campaign. We MUST HAVE a conservative caucus within the Republican Party that SEPARATELY decides early on who is its standard bearer. That would be the Valley Forge Republicans, if we would just do it. And if we won't do that, then we need a new Conservative Republican Party that seeks to overthrow the old tired Rino Republican Party. As already stated, "McCain is another compassionate conservative, rino. At least he’s pro-life, pro-gun, balanced budget, and pro-defense. I cannot say that about the other two. "
