The Pink Flamingo :: McCain’s Impressive List That Conservatives Are Ignoring

There are things you are not seeing in the MSM conservative blogsphere who absolutely detest John McCain. First, like the little engine that could, he keeps plugging on to the point where things are looking up for him. Very few sources are covering this important story other than Race 42008.

As far as I am concerned, I am seriously considering voting for him. Let’s face it, he is the “Greatest Man” running for POTUS this time. Maybe that’s what we need.
The WSJ on McCain and Patriotism

“…He also sees hope, ironically, in the despondency of the GOP faithful. "Our base is dispirited. I'm telling you, our base is dispirited. We're going to have to rev up our base. We're going to have to promise them we're going to stop this spending. We're going to have to promise them that we'll get trust and confidence back with them." The senator says he doesn't worry too much about the electoral tactics, but he does know what lies ahead. "We've got to win New Hampshire," he says, or at least exceed expectations there. "And then I think we can do well in South Carolina. In South Carolina we've got the base this time. The Attorney General, the Speaker of the House, Lindsay Graham, most of the base." Whether that's true or not, Mr. McCain still trails by 15 points on average in South Carolina. But assuming he can do well there, "then I think we're obviously very much in the game. What happens to Huckabee, what happens to Rudy, what happens to Romney--all this stuff is in such flux now that it's very difficult to predict and so we're not paying a lot of attention, obviously." Still, he's paying some attention, apparently. Overall, the impression Mr. McCain gives is that he is enjoying this campaign tremendously. Asked whether he thinks he's running a better campaign since his financing fell off a cliff along with his poll ratings, he shoots back with a laugh, "Do you think I could have run a worse campaign before my finances went south?" He blames his fall from front-runner status on his leadership on immigration reform, and says, "If I lose this election, it will be on the immigration issue. There's no question in my mind." But as with the other issues he discussed in our meeting, he doesn't give the impression that he regrets his stand for one minute.”

John McCain has racked up an impressive list of military endorsements, enough to make Huckabee look like a political hack. The SC Hotline Press has the info.
