I see all of McCain’s favorites voted against drilling.
Like Olympia Snowe, who the McCain campaign recently donated $1600 to her campaign, while his campaign is broke. He’s going to need his Rino’s if he is president.
“He’s going to need his Rino’s if he is president.”
Problem is, if this RINO get’s in the office, he’ll pad his staff with RINOs, he’ll favor RINO’s in congress and senate. RINOs will rise in the party. Post-McCain Presidency would see elite RINOs even more deeply entrenched as the GOP standard.
A McCain presidency could have significant ideological consiquences to the future of the GOP. It’d almost be better to suffer through a Pres Obama, see the party discard McCain and RINO’s, rediscover their conservative roots and push forward a real conservative in 2012.
