McCain does.

And His Responses To The Torture Questions Were, Simply, Moving - He Transcended The Format And The Event." "He handled a Confederate Flag question with aplomb. He wore the fictionally commander-in-chief hat ably, and his responses to the torture questions were, simply, moving -- he transcended the format and the event." (Marc Ambinder, National Journal's Hotline "On Call" Blog, "Pre-Spin Room Thoughts: McCain, Rudy, Romney," hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com, 5/15/07)
Here is a good page that talks about McCain's positions on a number of moral issues.

McCain can't win, only Giuliani or Romney.

McCain is a great man. But he's not faring terribly well in the debates, and he's falling farther behind in fundraising. I also think that in our youth-obsessed culture he may not be very electable.

No money and bad debater. The younger voters will be turned off by him. He's no Ronald Reagan who didn't act or appear old.

Romney is too slick, I don't trust that.

Bush is inflexible and stubborn. He won't admit to mistakes and that's why we're screwed in Iraq.

Romney changes his mind on the issues. I don't trust that.

Can't win in politics today.

All this is true, but it's eclipsed by the real reason he won't get nominated: the conservative base doesn't like/trust him.

That appears to be the $64,000 question.
