  • This piece totally ignores the true nuances of the structure of political opinion. The right wing is nearly as dead as the far left, having been brutally killed off by the moderate Bush people. McCain, a real trans-Partyoderate, like Lieberman, is even worse from their point of view.

  • A well-written article. I agree that if the Senator continues to try to pander to the flat earth, life begins at conception, amen, crowd to win it will, in fact, be sad He may have blindsided himself into the same old same old political box. He does seem to have veered down the "I'm a Christian, Wall Street is great," road. We do know what the senile old guy from Arizona will bring us, though.
