As a confirmed liberal, I think John McCain is a fine man. I don't often
agree with his politics, but were he running for president, I can easily
imagine voting for him.

I think the Republicans REALLY dropped the ball on this; if they'd let
McCain run unfettered, I (a lifelong Democrat) would definitely have
voted for him, and they'd have had me feeling all positive about a
Republican for the first time in my life. Heaven forfend that actually
happen.
