I'm still not doing this the right way, posting from my own personal database of thoughts and ideas, but I can't resist not posting a couple of items:
1. I believe the reason John McCain is getting the Republican nomination is entirely due to his service as Veteran of the armed forces. Every Republican nominee since 1948 has had that distinction.
2. There is a civil war going on in the Republican party. Conservatives are being asked, indirectly and subtly, to choose sides. On one side, go with the consensus candidate who has cared far less about conservatives and Republicans than we are being asked to care about him. On the other side, abandoning the Republican party for a write in, or even voting for the Democratic candidate to ensure John McCain is not the nominee.
These are very interesting and tumultuous times, and I haven't decided which side I am on.
