Team Romney. He really does have a Saturday Evening Post family picture, yes? Tagg's kid is as cute as a button. If only he had a gay son, too ...AS has a really good roundup on Romney.
Of all the species of Republicans, the Rockefeller-Republicans are the ones most easily sidled up to (I think).
So when AS concludes that, "Something has gone seriously wrong with the right when John McCain is not regarded as a conservative", I tend to think that something is more seriously askew when Romney felt he had to go so far to the religious (Dobson) Right to get the nomination, before coming back to the left in the general, that he ended up lampooning himself. (Although no one really knows the "real" Mitt Romney, except Mitt - God knows, the editors of the National Review thought he was ... swell, so ...).
McCAIN ISN'T A LOYALIST
McCain just isn't a loyalist, in a party that copiously rewards auto-matrons.
Just an eye grabber, insurgency alone won't seal the deal for McCain, who makes one just plain uncomfortable on social issues (probably because he is himself about them).
