Can McCain come home again?
To say that John McCain is not my first choice would be the understatement of the month. I am supporting him largely on his foreign policy ideas- I think that he "gets it". McCain fully understands the stakes in Iraq and the war against Islamic terror. However, I am reminded how McCain went through great lengths to show Democrats how conservative he wasn't . He now has spent the greater part of the past year trying to convince the base how conservative he is. Unfortunately for him, he may have worn out his welcome with many grassroots conservatives. The McCain- Feingold campaign finance bill, his initial opposition to the Bush tax cuts, and his association with the so called "gang of 14" are just a few incidents where conservatives have beefs with him. His support of amnesty for illegals has earned him the nickname "Juan" McCain. The Saddleback church conference with Reverend Rick Warren this past weekend has re-gained him favor with some of the base.
