Is this guy for real? The GOP runs 'moderates' ... It's dems who traditionally run the most extreme liberal they can find... Obama's a perfect example. Obama is to the left of Putin.
Romney or McCain could easily fit into the Democrat party... Where does Atlantic find these folks? Have they ever met a conservative? Had a conversation with one?

Interesting to consider. Do you think the Democrats would want McCain, should he offer to cross the aisle?
Romney, they'd take, of course -- because of his money.
But McCain...???
