Listening to McCain address a meeting of small business people on the radio this afternoon, I realized that he is not Bush III.  Rather, he is Goldwater II.  In the space of 3 minutes he proposed privatizing unemployment insurance and health insurance, and stated that the solution to the economic crisis is to lower taxes and regulation.  OUCH!  I suppose, given that he came of age in Goldwater's Arizona, it's not so surprising; still, it's amazing to see someone running on such a platform in this day and age.
