  McCain's victories in states that he lost decisively in 2000 - South Carolina and Florida - are clear indicators that the conservative wing of the Republican Party is now more interested in winning the November election than in preserving the Goldwater legacy.  McCain, with Giuliani out, is the only Republican candidate with cross-over appeal to Democrats and Independents.  Have to wonder how many GOP primary voters have became afflicted with "buyer's remorse" since the 2000 election.  They then  bought into Bush's "compassionate conservative" rhetoric, perhaps hoping the son would be at least the equal of the father.  When Clinton left office in January 2001, the nation was at peace and there was a surplus in the federal budget. Currently, we are sandbagged in a dubiously justified war that has claimed nearly 4,000 American lives and thousands more with permanent disabilities, a deficit-riddled federal budget, a tottering domestic economy and a president whose approval ratings continue tanking.  Would believe that GOP primary voters have alleviated their residual 2000 guilt by finally voting for - not against - McCain.
