While I admit I am pretty biased against the repubs for what they have turned this country into, I made sure to keep my bias out of my reply. You admit that McCain is changing not only his beliefs, but his stances as well, to align himself with the right wing conservatives (forgive the name dropping, lol), ie. the people that kept bush in office for 8 years. That to me sounds as if he is trying to become W jr. He may have been moderate, but we can all see how that has changed as of the election.

As for unity, when you can unite a country against an illegal war, political corruption (even if he is a little corrupt himself), health care, governmental reform, green energy and reducing our dependance on oil (not just foreign), and it all happens to be the opposite of what the other side is saying, what would you do? The current republican views are what got us into the situation, and I have a hard time voting (or even liking) a person so willing to immitate them, and find myself drawn to the person that shares my disgust with our countries current direction, and wants to change it.
