WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As John McCain neared his momentous primary election victory in Florida after a ferocious campaign questioning his conservative credentials, right-wingers buzzed over word that he had privately suggested that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was too conservative. In response, Sen. McCain recalled saying no such thing and added Alito was a "magnificent" choice. In fact, multiple sources confirm his negative comments about Alito nine months ago.

I don't know, Bob. Is Hillary? I guess it depends on your definition of conservative. According to Sean Hannity, conservatives need to change (yes, he committed that blatant oxymoron, heavy on the moron, on pnational television).
If you consider insane fascist despots with Marxian tendencies to be conservative, I guess McCain is as good as any. Since Rush Limbaugh, Peggy Noonan, and the entire staff of NRO have made a hash out of the meaning of the word by selling the shrub as one, the term appears to be up for grabs.
Actually, Hannity was joking... He was trying to make a point.
