Ollie North has also endorsed McCain. Your excellent post is in sync with North’s column.
“”Neither John McCain, nor anyone in his campaign asked me to write this column. But I cannot sit silently while my fellow conservatives do to John McCain what GOP “moderates” did to me. Today, the stakes for our country are far higher, the implications for the future far greater than who sits in one of a hundred U.S. Senate seats. Now, our nation is at war against a vicious foe. We need a president who has proven how to win it.
Over the course of the last six years I have made a dozen protracted trips to cover U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen and Marines defending us against a Jihad hostile to all that we hold dear. In the dark days when Al Anbar province Iraq was the bloodiest place on the planet — John McCain was one of the few in Congress brave enough to venture into that cauldron. I know, because I saw him there.”

Good. Ollie is one person many will listen to here.
There is no victory in defeat.
And I would rather battle McCain to bring him to the right on other issues then battle democrats who will invite the forces of evil to attack us.
