Through out the campaign, one of the things that has gotten lost about John McCain is his overwhelmingly conservative voting record. The ACU rates him at 82.3 percent (compared to 75 % for George RINOvich) which is better than any of the other candidates running for president.
Unfortunately, on the few issues that he's not conservative on, he's more than willing to throw conservatives under the bus to get his face out on the issue.
So I don't think it's surprising that his campaign is falling apart. After all, what does McCain stand for? What sword would his campaign workers fall on for him? What is his vision for the country and how's he going to get people to enroll in the vision?
While I really haven't followed the campaign at all because, for me, it's way too damn early, the one thing these campaigns illustrate is your ability to manage your own campaign, to lead people when the going gets tough, and to keep people enrolled in the vision. If you can't manage those things within your own campaign, how are you going to manage a country for cryin' out loud.
When your vision is to simply be on TV all the time, you're going to fail long term.
I still offer that republicans in this race need to make a call, you either believe that government makes a difference in the world or it doesn't. If you believe that it does, then you're really a socialist. Why should conservatives vote for a socialist when we already have democrats?
