    Can we now stop whining...

    ...that "if (favorite Dem candidate's name here) doesn't win, I'll vote for McCain!"

    McCain's moderation is such a fantasy that even the MSM cannot avoid it through November. On issue after issue -- even the ones he is supposedly "moderate" on, such as immigration -- he has either assumed conservative stances from day one, or he has slithered his way out of the "center" to the shady fringes of the right.
