It's the 20% in the middle who can blow either way who may overlook some of the less palatable positions of McCain . . . . or of Clinton or Obama . . . . . who will eventually tilt the balance one way or the other.
And that's really what it often comes down to. . . . . for the non-partisan, the self-described independent, there is never an ideal candidate and rarely one that can be entirely agreed with.
More often than not, someone who agrees entirely with the position of a candidate is either his/her mother or a fanatic of one sort or another.

Your right. I am making some assumptions about the positions of the posters on this board. I realize there are some people who vote for ultra-conservative and religious views. I was more responding to the posters on this board who were touting McCain as some kind of centrist saviour. Clearly he is anything but.
