John McCain appears to be closing the sale

Ever since John McCain clinched it for the Republicans, us Constitutionalists and Conservatives have been grumbling. John McCain's voting record is somewhat sporadic, with him acting like a Democrat from time-to-time.

I've been saying, McCain needs to do something to get the base. To do that I've said that he needed to do the following:

1. Convince us that he'll put good Constitutionalist judges on the High Court.
2. Pick an Evangelical Christian governor as his running mate.

We need to know that he'll pick judges that will not invent law that does not exist. He also needed to balance out his streak of liberalism.

I think the Rick Warren interview convinced us on the way he'll select judges.

Concerning his VP, looks like he's picked the evangelical Christain governor, but gone a step further.

Until today, I've never heard of Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska. A quick check on wikipedia, exposes her obvious evangelical Christian back ground. On the surface so far, she's looking real good.

He went over the top, by picking a woman. Brilliant. I think this will help bring over some of the disgruntled Hillary supporters.

I'm not saying that I'm convinced yet on Palin. But the "package" on the Republican side is looking more attractive.
