GOP presidential nominee John McCain strikes many voters as a centrist, according to polls. But as assessed by the Associated Press, McCain’s record should comfort conservative Republicans — and concern those Democrats who are telling pollsters that they’ll vote for McCain if their candidate doesn’t prevail in the nomination fight. McCain’s voting record is strong, though not spotless, against abortion, gay marriage and gun control. His problem areas with conservatives remain stem-cell research, campaign finance limits and immigration. By the way, notes AP: McCain is polling at the same level of support among Republicans as George W. Bush did at this point in 2000.
