McCain seems to be trying to play the same "military" service is all it takes, card Kerry played and lost on..
Most conservative talk show hosts know that McCain's record on issues has been moderate if not liberal..
in other words given a choice between Hillary,.. Obama or McCain.. many voters will vote on personalities instead of issues..
given that fact,.. McCain will not have a chance in getting elected.. no more then Kerry did... both want to stand on thier admirable military service, and not their records in public life...
and voters who respect McCain's military service will vote for him, but those who know his stand on the issues will vote against Hillery/Obama.. and that is not how we should elect a president...
as for Rush.. he had a boil on his rear..
