As I have typed elsewhere in various iterations:

McCain's sole hope as he treks deeper into insanity is that press will continue to ignore him. Any air time he will garner will display him in less than flattering light.

McCain has flip flopped on more issues that he hasn't. In 2001 Bush's tax cuts "offended his conscience", now he wants to make them permanent. Last September he told Charlie Rose long term bases similar to our arrangements in South Korea and Germany in Iraq were out of the question because Iraqis wouldn't accept them. Then he decided that was a defeatocrat position and we must continue the fight until no more Americans are being wounded or killed so we can stay for a 100, 1,000 or 10,000 years. Now of course he thinks we'll be out by 2013. Try to make heads or tails of that.

"Maverick" McCain only splits with his party to take politically popular positions which of course are Democratic positions. Now he needs the Republican base so he's trying to straddle both sides of some issues but coming down hard for failed conservative policies on others. Until his pollsters tell him they're not viable.

When was the last time one of the two candidates left standing this late in the cycle been so inconsistent, been allowed to focus test his views in public like this? It's amazing, this man literally has no basic principles, his political philosophy and foreign policy blows in the wind.

At this rate By November he'll be mouthing exactly what Obama says (popular Dem positions) except claiming his "experience" makes him the better choice. It's gonna be easy to paint that as complete phony, the kind of Washington politics we need to change.

At this point, I'll recommend any cogent post about the general election. I'm not recommending anything about the primary.

By attacking his domestic political enemies in front of a foreign parliament, G.W.B. has reminded me how poisonous and dangerous the Republican party has become. And McCain seems determined to mimic his predecessor's idiotic bluster, trying to convince Americans that all forms of negotiation are "appeasement."

In this context, I find it impossible to get worked up about the primary. There are real vipers in our country's politics. Hillary Clinton is not one of them.

sounds like a flip flopper to me! if it quacks like a duck, ladies and gents, i think we have a duck!

I just recommended this because we need to make clear to the media that we see McCain getting a free ride and that it needs to stop. I don't care if the post itself is worthless and took little time to put together. The message conveyed by the title is important and I'd like to see people like Greg start investigating it a little more.
