Mccain continues nosedive toward conformity

[KevinTheOmnivore]

McCain wants to be president.

The two things mentioned above play a part in him doing that. He is going to crucial states, meeting with important Bush strategists and fundraisers, and securing them for his team. Showing support for an increasingly unpopular president shows "just how loyal" he is.

And as far as the Falwell thing goes, as unattractive as that is, it doesn't necessarily mean everything. McCain is arguably the most popular politician in America right now, and everybody wants him to speak at their events. Turning Falwell down would hurt him a lot more than simply going to this meaningless event and saying a few words will.

Again, he wants to be president.
