I think that McCain will soften the hard edge of the fundamentalist conservative.  But his party will continue to exert pressure to conform.  I don't think that he'll cave on his personal beliefs.  Whether he would cave on policy is unsure to me.  However, I can assure you that both candidates in the other party will be much more open to positive change for equal rights than any one the Republicans can offer up.
