I would've voted for McCain in 2000, but not now. He's shown a capacity for pandering to the far, FAR, right, which scares me far more than any experience argument. Back in 2004, when the far right was solidly in control, McCain suddenly went completely and utterly overboard.
I am in the JFK wasn't as good as he is portrayed camp. But enough 1960s politics....

If McCain went totally overboard, how come they still hate him? And are you then saying better far left than far right? I think every politician has to pander to the fringes in order to get the nomination and, after securing the nomination, they all race to the center. The issue is figuring out if anyone was actually a centrist to begin with.
