Yes, there are plenty of reasons. But a Candidate is a Package Deal. You can't simply ignore that the Man (potentially) with his finger on the Button had his brains scrambled by the Chicoms for FIVE YEARS.
Could it be one of the reasons he sold out the First Amendment (McCain Feingold)? The Chicoms are notoriusly unfrendly to Free Speech.
Could it be why he's uncharactisticly (for a Republican) "Global Warming" loopy? Only the US suffers from US Enviornmental Legislation. The Chicoms BENEFIT from it.
Things like this don't happen in a vacuum. There are reasons people act/think the way they do - especially when the uncharacteristic is the primary characteristic.

McCain vs Obama, pick which poison you want to take. Both will cause more harm than good, IMHO.
If a write in vote would matter I'd do it but I don't see how that will help. Yeah, it'll tell the "powers that be" who we want but will it be a clear enough picture to let them know that they can only push so far? I don't think so. We, Republicans, couldn't even get together on a clear candidate to choose from so we end up with McCain now.

A decade ago Republicans put up Bob Dole to run against Bill Clinton. The old man WW2 vet& Washington DC "deal-maker" vs the well, you know. America voted. Clearly, an old man was not the preferred choice.
Once again, an old timer long overdue for retirement is the Republican nominee. McCain is 72 and looks it, too. No harm in that because most folks look their age. Gee, I wonder how it will go this time.
