Tread Lightly Mr. McCain.

So John McCain wants to patch things up with James Dobson. This is what irks the hell out of me about politicians. McCain, for years, has butted heads with the Christian Right, but now seems to be crawling back to them in hopes of becoming the nominee in '08. If he can reconcile with Dobson like he did with Jerry Falwell then McCain may gain a chunk of votes. However, in the process he will certainly lose some of his "maverick" credibility and likely the votes of people like me who enjoy the fact that he calls some of these groups out on their intolerance. I'd much rather see McCain stick to his guns, win or lose.

    It is the standard primary election move: return to your base.
