Conservatives and Tea Party activists look forward to welcoming Senator McCain and other lost conservatives back from their flirtations with big government.

McCain hasn’t changed. After the election he will go back to being his RINO self.

I don’t think he fooled anyone in Arizona, obviously they want a RINO as their Senator.

Some conversions stick.....some don’t. When you’re looking at the other side of 80 I don’t count on this conversion to last long. (Hell he’s not going to)

The John McCain of 2009-10 was a McCain we had not seen since the mid-1990s.

They're not saying that our litte Juan is an inconsistent RINO, are they?

IMHO...the “real” news about thta primary has to do with HOW JD always winds up the Senator’s opponent...just sayin’

And he may remain in the Republican Party until the day after the general election.

The only hope for McCain is that he'll be so hungry for a "legacy" that he'll turn 180 degrees and be a full bore Tea Party sorta guy. Note the word, hope, I didn't say to bet on that happening.

A year from now the author of that statement will likely wish it had never been written.

Exactly. The only thing this proves is that the GOP is not a party of Conservatives.

Does this man know how tired we are of the word “Maverick”?
Hellsbells I bet even James Gardner hates it.

If he had taken this same kind of principled conservative and ‘take no prisoners’ campaign against Barack Obama in 2008, he’d now be in the second year of his presidency.

I still can't figure out why he didn't do what it would take to win. Especially when at times during the campaign he occasionally landed some telling blows and polls showed the race tightening. But he soon reverted to his avoidance of criticism of Barry's greatest vulnerabilities: his far-left history, questionable background, and associations with radicals.

I can’t believe there are people that walk among us - that are stupid enough to believe McCain has changed one iota! That one event will negate a lot of tea party victories. He, alone, cancels out the effect of many conservatives. Who will be in his “Gang of 14” now? What issues will they convene to subvert the will of true conservatives?

McCain’s win is a loss for America. Apparently, this man is too powerful to defeat. I don’t have high hopes.

Maybe if the GOP takes control of the Senate then they can welcome Senator McCain back by electing him Senate Majority Leader. The transformation would then be complete....
