Some are coming to the conclusion that the religious right's hostility to John McCain notwithstanding, they are settling for the guy.
The Carpetbagger Report offers this:
I’ve been wondering what the Religious Right is going to do about John McCain. These groups are clearly not crazy about the guy. But I predicted months ago that the fear of a Democratic president would terrify them so much that they would come around. That’s what appears to be happening.
Not true.
McCain will underperform, and Obama will overperform with the grassroots of the religious right, which is all that has to happen to destroy the GOP nominee.
As much as I disagree with the religious right’s grassroots on just about everything, from personal experience in speaking with some of these people (in Wisconsin), my conclusion is that commitment to “community” matters and perception of authenticity matters.
That McCain does not have to a sufficient degree, though their campaign is working on it.
