"Well, just maybe, to conservatives, the principle is worth more than the victory."

Something that many in the GOP seem to not understand.

This column sums up much of what many of us don’t like about the prospect of a McCain nomination. I’d add his mercurial temperament to the list.

AND, republicasn don't want to be blamed when a McCain Presidency tarnishes "republicanism" for decades and would make it near impossible to elect a real conservative in our lifetimes. Better let Hillary define liberalism and help the consrvatives elect a real conservative next time around.

McCain is not different from Hillary. In addition, he has poor health and leaves the impression he is on the breaking point and might go berserk.

Mccain can never eventually win the Presidency. His last 4 years in the Senate shows he cannot be trusted to join the rest of the party. Our party will never totally follow him and in that respect we do not have the House or Senate and will not for years. We need Mitt who I firmly believe can work with both House and Senate.

The future of my country in the hands of a strong leader that votes conservative 85% of the time,... rather than in the hands of Hill& Bubba....is worth more than your so called “conservative” principles. Get a clue and get on board to win this election.

I agree. It's also the concept of Pyrrhic victory that the R-party doesn't get. They don't see that they are sacrificing any claim to principle on the altar of McCain. They will get only ashes in return, whether he wins or loses. Should he win, there's no little way to form a solid conservative front on anything.
