McCain: A Second Look?

BullDogPundit reports from sources in New Hampshire that some Conservatives in the GOP are beginning to look at Sen. John McCain as an option in '08. He, like myself, is skeptical, though:

Well one thing is for sure, if the right wing blogosphere is any indication of the grassroots conservative movement, then the source is all wrong. Yes, McCain is great on spending, but there's a whole lot more anger with him for CFR, and his hesitancy on tax cuts, the "Gang of 14" deal (as well as his media preening) than there is praise for him on the spending issues. Who knows, maybe it's us in the blogosphere that are in a bubble, but for some reason I don't think that's the case here.
Now if McCain were to win the nomination I would certainly support him. But he's not my first, second or even third choice for that matter. I'm still wary that his desire to be loved by his buddies in the media betrays his Conservative ideals. He has a long way to go in winning me over. And he's the reason I'm a registered Republican.

We shall see.
