CAN CONSERVATIVES BACK McCAIN?By Charlie SykesYou can comment below...
Here's the email I read this morning:
Dear Charlie,
Don't get me wrong I'm as conservative as they come, and as most conservatives have not been happy with John McCain lately. However, I have taken a second look at him since Iowa, and have realized he's not as bad as I thought. Here's my take.
1) He'll be just as good as Guiliani on the war on terror, a lot of conservatives give Rudy a pass on a lot of issues because of his strong war stance. why not McCain?
2) At least he's Pro-Life.
3) Cannot be criticized for being a hypocrite on the war, because he did serve honorably in the military.
4) Media does like him a little, I know they will turn on him fast during the general election, but at least I don't think it will be as venomous as it would be with; Huckabee, Romney and the rest.
5) Can claim the high road on the campaign, because of his campaign reform bill (I know I don't like it, but it will make a good commercial).
6) Does have widespread name recognition, except for people who pay attention, no one knows who Romney, or Huckabee are.
7) Has hardly any personal baggage to make him a easy target.
8) His voting record in the Senate (which could be better) will look a lot more mainstream than the ultra liberal records of, Hillary, Obama, and Edwards.
9) Will attract a sizeable chunk of the Senior vote, which Republicans have been losing it's share lately.
I admit I have some hang ups still, but we need an electable candidate. No, I am not on his campaign, or affiliated with him in any way. Just a person worried what this Country will look like after four years of a liberal President. Thank you.
