McCain is leading the "Stay the Course" wing of the GOP.

Washington Post:

Many Republican and Democratic lawmakers have embraced the panel's report, but the almost uniformly negative reaction from some of Bush's strongest conservative supporters means the president may have some political flexibility to depart from the group's major recommendations, according to some GOP operatives.Notably fueling the skepticism has been Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who has raised pointed questions about the Baker-Hamilton panel's unwillingness to prescribe more troops, as McCain has urged, and its embrace of a regional conference with Syria and Iran.

Yup, in the backpocket of the chimpster....

I hope McCain does not waste his time running for President. On second though this might help the democrats get back in!

I think McCain has just helped the Democrats into the Presidency of 2008 by his replica of the Gerbil's agenda.. I will bet that McCain is backed by the Gerbil for his run for Prez. McCain will certainly lose respect in his own state.

I'm thinking that any GOP who wants to be elected has to put space between themselves and the Chimp.

I thinl the GOP with some sense will distance themselves from the Gerbil.
