I can sort of understand voting Republican (certainly for certain types of people :hsugh

Official definition and actual party leanings are quite different in America. The Dem party is actually a central party on the worldwide scale, and our Republican party is a far-right Christian party.
The McCain back then and the McCain now are two different beasts. Remember 8 years have passed and he WILL NOT have another chance to become president. The first time he sought his nomination on merit and was slandered to death by his own party (like the illegitimate black baby questions and stuff). This time he wants the presidency more, and has fallen into a lockstep with his party's style of politics....
