Unspoken is McCain’s sleeping with the enemy on issues like the amnesty bill and his signature abomination, McCain-Feingold. It is not the appearance of flip-flopping, it is an inescapable record that no amount of media protection can overcome. There are many similarities between John and Rudy, including their strong national defense credentials. However, they are also similar on the social side and that will prove to be as detrimental to Rudy as it was to John.
McCain sealed his fate with the ‘Gang of 13’ in the Senate
I agree, Rudy does not mesh well with the Conservative agenda, and nothing can change the stripes on that tiger. He is a good man and a good leader, but not a true Republican. Republicans don’t need to change their stripes to accomodate Rudy, we know what we stand for. McCain was toast before he even started. I also think it will boil down to Fred vs. Mitt, and I would be happy with either. I’m just hoping we can mop the floor with the weakness and idiocy of the Dem opponents, despite the media’s relentless campaign for the Dems.
That an article discussing McCain's ultimate implosion doesn't mention the amnesty bill is proof that the author has MSM blinders, and nothing else he says is credible.
McCain was sputtering along, trading above 15% at Intrade, until the day the White House agreement on the immigration bill was announced June 17th. From that day forward, the McCain campaign has been in a death spiral.
