They do?  Well, they'd better get it together soon because McCain is a 
very likely Republican nominee.

McCain's age is a genuine problem.

My guess is that they don't like McCain because he is able to find common 
ground with the Democrats.  I think McCain-Feingold was a good attempt to 
take some of the influence of big money out of our electoral process, but 
many on the right see it as an attack on free speech!  McCain was long 
seen as a maverick Republican, something of an outsider, not with the 
mainstream.  To me that was a good thing, but probably not to Hannity and 
Limbaugh.
