McCain has acted like a Democrat and compromised with them so many times before, why should we believe he'll act any different if he took office as President?

In this case, it means an awful lot.
It would be political insanity to not follow through with his promise.
Betrayed confidence by an unkept promise of this magnitude would spell certain disaster to his legacy in far too many ways than he would want to even consider.
Betrayed political allies do not soon forget. They will exact their pound of flesh.
