How About the Conservatives Learning Something from McCain?

The search for ideological purity on the political spectrum is a fool’s game

What I haven’t seen anywhere is much interest by the conservatives in what they might learn from McCain – an odd phenomenon since he cleaned their clocks on Super Tuesday. Yet McCain is being asked to eat humble pie, not Rush Limbaugh.
So I have a suggestion for the attendees at CPAC. You are expecting John McCain to meet you at least halfway (or maybe more) on Thursday. Why don’t you think about meeting him halfway as well? He has something to do that you don’t. He has to win a presidential election. The American electorate is in the middle. If you force him too much over to your side, in the name of ideological purity you will have elected your opponents.
