I'd rather have a president I trust but disagree with than another president that I can't trust no matter how much I agreed with their election platform.
That's what I like about McCain. I don't really agree with him on a lot of issues, but I think he's smart enough to be able to agree to disagree. He wants to do the best job he can for the country, rather than the best job he can for his party's hardliners. I'm happy to vote for anybody who recognizes that America is pretty damn moderate and requires compromise on basically every issue.
