You say it too nicely.

I hope someone McMeMeMe listens to can persuade him that HIS BASE IS NOT SHORED-UP. His pick needs to be unassailably conservative.

Trouble is, he thinks he is, thinks he deserves this, thinks we’re d****d lucky to have someone as wonderful as he to vote for.

And he’s wrong.

persuade him that HIS BASE IS NOT SHORED-UP.

Those after-Biden/after-Convention polls showing McCain even or slightly ahead do bode well for Conservatives.

They give McCain the impression that he can still win without playing to the Conservatives. Where else are they going to go anyway?

[I still expect McCain to pick a VP who is an obvious finger-in-the-eye to Conservatives.]

I dunno about now though...the continuing closeness of the race should show him he really needs to consolidate conservatives if he wants a prayer of winning.
