Well, yes and no. Heres the thing about McCain: Independents LOVE him. In states where Independents could vote in primaries, they overwhelmingly chose McCain because of his reputation as being a free thinking pragmatist and willingness to step across the isle when it serves his cause.

Right wing conservatives have a knee jerk hatred of McCain because he doesn't step in line (or pick fights with Democrats), but I think that can pass in time, especially when the race boils down to either McCain vs. Hillary or especially Obama. The Democrat contenders lean WAY left this election, bordering socialism in many policies, and I think that will shock a lot of conservatives into voting for McCain as the lesser of two evils.

If conservatives come out to vote for the most part and don't try and do some silly boycott, I think McCain has the best chance of any Republican of winning.
