At the end of the day, the US is so divided politically, the politicians' stance on the issues gets pushed aside for the ideal - conservative or liberal. If McCain can get the conservative base behind him he wins regardless of his stance on Iraq.

I completely disagree.
The republicans aren't showing up at the polls. The democratic turnout has been huge, much higher than the republican turnout.
Plain and simply, this election is about change and McCain will not change America. He represents another 4 years of War in Iraq and another 4 years of the slow slide into recession.
If the race is Obama versus McCain, I predict Obama takes it on a message of hope and change over McCain's status quo.
