What most people don't know is that John McCain is now (especially after the SC victory) the biggest worry of the conservative establishment. If you don't believe it, just listen to "Talk Radio" or the 'MSNBC bias' that has become so prevalent on much of the coverage of the SC republican primary. Prominent conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and most of Fox News have labeled him as a liberal. Rightly so, are his policies on immigration, taxes, and just about everything conservatives stand for says that McCain is in for even more opposition. Consequentially, his failing immigration stance, position on gay marriage and gun rights, are all taking issue with social cons. Economic conservatives (in my view 'ironically') complain about his defiance with tax cuts during a time of war (even though the it's the economy that is now the main political issue). He's now seen as being the most popular and well-known bush-opposing republican, thumbing his nose and enjoying media attention. And through it all, he fights with his popular war stance, with the support primarily deriving from independent moderates. If the Iraq war hasn't hurt conservatives now, it is this man that sets back the agenda.More conservatives are taking an "Anybody-But-McCain" type of attitude. And the forces which brought him down in 2000, and helped G.W. Bush become president, silently re-emerge. The "Maverick" has become the greatest divide in the conservative-republican movement, and now stands for 'change' in just about everything but the war. And his nomination rival will be a Mormon Gov. with deep pockets. If John McCain is the nominee, conservatives will hope that he keeps his promises.
