I don't think we need any more faux apologies that claim to be sincere.
Hugh is right. My biggest gripe with McCain is his participation in the radicalization of the nomination process.
I think he and the gang of 14 did it to undercut Bill Frist, who had presidential aspirations of his own and would've been a serious contender for 2008 had he been able to shepard the constitutional option through the Senate.

Not to speak of the fact that this two-faced jackass would institute the fairness doctrine against talk radio and impede internet sites like FRee Republic so fast our heads would swim. bttt
Too little too late.
Ask Mike DeWine if he would join the "Gang" again if he had it to do over.
Yeah... Hugh, Senator McCain would have to "take back" about 90% of what he has stood for or been the leader of for the past 6 years... I don't think he could do that. If we had 5-4 orginalists Supreme Court judges, McCain-Feingold would be "gone-zo!" To McLame, that would be unacceptable.
And in what race were they up front with that? None, so why people continue to criticize and analyze this last election, we can thank McCain who took the "most important" issue away from Republican candidates.
.
Right.
And while he's at it he can also apologize for saddling American freedom of speech with McCain-Feingold, backstabbing us on illegal immigration, putting terrorists first in line for Constitutional Rights, opposing tax cuts,...
...on second thought, McInsane can forget apologizing. He should be treated as last weeks fish guts as far as the Republican Party and the decent citizens of this Republic should be concerned. He's not just a failed man, but a deeply malevolent one as well.
His agenda is "McCain", not "America".

McCain has been sticking his thumb in the eye of conservatives one day and groin kicking them the next on fundamental conservative issues for years. Regrets are useless. Regrets would be similar to Hubert Humphrey admitting that the "Great Society" was a mistake. Interesting but useless. There is still a huge mess to be cleaned up by the people that do the heavy lifting.
This last election proved that support from conservatives isn't an entitlement. It's earned. For the life of me I can't see what McCain could do by 2008 to earn support to get him elected President. If the GOP, even state by state were to grant him the needed delegates for the nomination, it would prove a death wish.
DeWhiner got his butt kicked out of the Senate because of his wussie votes with the Liberals....and now we have the Communist Sherrod Brown to replace him....nice goin' RINO's....
Senator McCain is only too ready to sacrifice constitutional principle. First, McCain-Feingold. Then, the Gang of 14.
Senator McCain has spit on the Constitution two too many times for him to be considered for the office of President.
bump for 2008!
