Reply #10: Yes, I agree...McCain does look uncomfortable [View All]

I think McCain had a choice a few years ago. I remember reading that he considered becoming an independent and caucusing with the Dems....that was choice number one. His second choice was to become a Bush clone. I think he chose number 2 because he saw it as his best option for becoming president. The Democrats obviously wouldn't have nominated him. The Republican would only nominate him if he walked the party line. So I agree, the 2000 McCain would've done well in the general election but he probably wouldn't have gotten the nomination.
