Well, that should help him with the moderates

Speaking at CPAC today, notorious Iran war hawk John Bolton emphasized his support for McCain, saying McCain proved he is “stronger” than the Bush administration with the senator’s statement on Iran.


McCain also apparently tried to get Bolton confirmed as UN ambassador for the US, another of McCain's truly "moderate" positions, I guess.

I'm really curious how McCain's campaign is going to turn out. He's basically a straight-line conservative who the conservative movement hates because of a handful of times he didn't march in lockstep with them, and a super war-hawk who has been getting the moderate and independent support of anti-war types, who apparently only caught on to his early criticisms of Bush's war plans without realizing he was calling for bigger and better wars.
