Would have been nice... also would not have happened.

I prefer to think (probably naively) that McCain's core
values (many, but
not all, of which I agree with) are essentially untouched
but that he
decided to do what needed to be done to secure the
nomination. 

"Playing the game" may not be noble, but it does
work.  I can't see he would
have had a chance otherwise.

Here's the problem with that Jim: If he gets elected, what
does every first
term president spend those 4 years doing? Ensuring they have
a second term.
And how do you do that? By playing to the people who got you
the FIRST term.

So if he sells out his ideas to get the nomination, we can
expect at least 4
years of him continuing to do that. So at that point, you've
just hired
another conservative, and haven't really gotten anything new
in the deal.
