McCain, and a lot of Reublicans, have convinced themselves that the winning formula is to be Democrat Lite. A slightly less filling alternative to traditional Democrats.
Instead of recognizing that the 06 debacle was a result of the abandonment of conservative principles, the Repugs have convinced themselves that it was their failure to match the Democrats pander for pander that brought about their downfall. And so we get John Kerry’s running mate as our standard bearer.
I couldn’t agree more NavVet. Good call.
