McCain’s position on the Bush tax cuts alone should disqualify him. Tax cuts are one of the legs most conservatives’ 3-legged stools stand on. Add on immigration, and campaign finance reform and why would any conservative vote for the guy. Imagine a McCain presidency: Tax cuts rolled back, amnesty for illeagals and an expansion of McCain/Feingold. That’s why the biggest McCain talking point on Thursday was his condemnation of negative ads. They write themselves and in New Hampshire, they work. I’m a Thompson guy, but if if I were Romney, I’d go negative and let conservatives know what they’d be getting themselves into.
