CPAC Update: McCain Tells Conservatives What They Want to Hear

Despite Ann Coulter's assertion that McCain is really a liberal and “if [he] is elected president, we'll have a four-year disaster”

 

Matt Sanchez, reporting from CPAC says,

 

John McCain read off a conservative wishlist that spanned the lowering of taxes to the appointment of non-liberal judges.  He even emphasized the importance of the right to bear arms, and was especially careful to promise a more secure border. 

The mood [at CPAC]  was skeptical, but by the end of the speech, even the most hardcore anti-McCain types seemed resigned to the new reality: We know who our candidate is, who will be theirs?

Huckabee was slotted to speak during CPAC, but I didn't see him on the agenda.

More to come.

It is really vague isn't it? I don't know what to think about McCain. He isn't my favorite candidate, that's for sure. There seems to be a disparity between his voting record, and the things he has said and done in the past. We will have to wait and see.

Seriously, do any repubs like McCain? I know he got voted in and all... but I can't figure out how... no one's really enamoured with him that I can see, I think he's been getting voted for simply because no one is willing to settle for the rest of the freaky repub candidates. Woot for McTofu!
