Reply #6: I, for one, am glad to see his true colors shining through.

This extreme!conservative makeover McCain has given himself is not going to result in more votes from Republicans. In fact, many right-wingers that I know don't trust McCain and would vote for another Republican in a heartbeat. His main support came from independents and he can kiss that support goodbye the more folks get a taste of the McCain rhetoric.

His previous media-appointed label as "maverick" will cost him with Republicans and his hard-line stance on the war is going to cost him with independents. You can stick a fork in him, especially if Hagel decides to throw his hat into the ring.
