Despite what the LA Times says, Senator McCain is no moderate. Paul Krugman does some rudimentary fact-checking of that assertion and finds that based on roll-call votes for the past session, McCain is in fact the eighth-most conservative member of the Senate. In other words, there are about 40 Republican senators less conservative than he. Even Sam Brownback has a slightly less conservative record.
Stop the nonsense, mainstream media.
