McCain Redux

Okay, I know, I know. I can hear social conservatives across the country groaning about the likelihood of a McCain nomination.

On the plus side, the strong possibility that McCain will be nominated means that he has some fence-mending to do with conservatives.

For example, McCain spoke at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) yesterday assuring the audience of his conservative credentials. He also apologized for not attending last year.

McCain also sent a letter to the Federalist Society assuring them that he will only nominate judges who will interpret the Constitution not create law.

Going on record about conservative policies will help McCain but the real test will be to see what happens in the next few primaries. Will Romney conservatives think McCain is the better candidate or will they throw their support behind Huckabee?
