The guy may be liberal but he is undeniably intelligent and the guy is willing to flip/flop when he is wrong about an issue without looking like that dufus Kerry. See the drilling issue and his taxation policy if we are in recession for examples.
However all McCain has to do to win is demonstrate that he is a fiscal conservative and will do a better job than Obama with the economy. In order to do that he needs to separate himself from the current admin's "borrow and spend" approach which as added literally trillions to our kid's debts. He could also create an energy policy that is far more realistic, yet still very aggressive in reducing our nation's dependence on oil.
He needs to get passionate and state how he is going to pay (not borrow from China) for his wars and ask the American public to contribute far more than Bush asked us to.
I think McCain from '00 would be the best candidate for our country, but he hasn't done enough to show me that man still exists. Right now he is coming off as a typical spend happy Republican.
Bottom line is if McCain wants to win he needs to focus on our country, not Obama. Then he will have a lot better chance at getting those in the middle to forgive him for his associations with the current admin.
