If he had showed at the RNC - he would have been well received by many in the hall.

True classical conservatives HATE Bush and have since the beginning of his first term. There is this misconception that Bush is somehow a conservative and he isnt. Far from it.
The "conservatives" that you speak of that love Bush are predominantly social conversatives. Yep...NRA, anti abortion, no evolution types.
I agree...Bush would have been well recieved at the convention but thats not the reason he didnt show. The battle for this election isnt going to be won with the Bush followers. Many of those people would just as soon vote for Osama than Obama anyway. The battle will be for those middle states that feel fooled by Bush (twice no less) and want a change. That is why McCain is seperating from Bush and that is why he is going on this ridiculous "change" rant.
