Liberal just means left-wing, or at least left-leaning in America though. If you look at the issues McCain campaigns on and his voting record, then he is more liberal in the true sense of the word than either of the Democratic candidates - ok, maybe not on social issues. In fact, the democrats have been coming out with some (what I would call) 'un-liberal' views, like raising barriers to trade and withdrawing from NAFTA.

Edwards would be a reasonably good choice for VP though,
