Senator McCain did give the best speech I have ever heard him give today. How much he actually persuaded the rank and file of his own party remains to be seen. A long string of right wingers spoke after he did, but the news media did not cover that oratory nor has it mentioned how well the follow on speakers were being received. Only time will answer the central question here. Will the GOP rally around John McCain? I think a coalition of Goopers will rally around him, but it will likely be a fragile coalition and subject break like a covey of quail if me makes a false step.

Here's one Consrvative who will not/will not vote for John McKennedy. His words are just words to try and get elected. I will write in the candidate of my choice.

Mc Cain,juyt another warmonger in disguise .This person was defending an invasion in Iran,based on the Bush lies that Iran was building WM Dand nukes.It took 16 intelligence agencies to debunk that lie .But not a word of compassion on the 100.000 american lives lost every year due bad health care.Just another of those guys that value the so called unborn life,but once it is born,they stop caring and leave you to die due lack of proper education and health care.This is not what a civilized nation stands for .End the days of bullying the world and concentrate on domestic problems ,ban guns,fight discrimination in courts,create decent jobs in other parts of the economy than defense industry,joi the world in fighting climate change,give your children decent education,not the fairy tale of creationism which puts the USA to shame in the eyes of the world scientific community .Get rid of the republicans that have squandered the wealth of your nation in the Iraqi quagmire and dug a hole in your state budget deep enough to bury your future for the next two decades in it.
