“Despite his flaws as a candidate,” says John Hinderaker in an arresting call for “a reality check” by conservatives at this moment of history, “John McCain has at least one major strength: he might actually win.”

So, let’s finish out the primary season. It’s not over yet, lightning could strike, and Romney might wind up as our nominee. Most likely, though, John McCain will be the Republican standard-bearer. We could do a whole lot worse. Within the party, it’s time to dial down the hyperbole, quit burning bridges and start building them.

We could do worse, indeed.
