McCain Wins; GOP Learning Wrong Lesson?

A few members of the FoxNews panel seem to be drawing the conclusion that the most important thing to McCain's victory was his ability to draw independents and Democrats. Of course they forget that two conservatives were battling for the conservative vote while McCain had the liberal/Democrat/Independent votes to himself.

What I'm afraid will happen is that future GOP races will use McCain's win as an excuse to put up "moderates" rather than conservatives and say that this is the best/only way for Republicans to get elected.
