Hugh's just in a twist over the fact that his golden boy is sinking like a brick.
It's not that I don't distrust McCain. It's just that I distrust Mitt far, far more. At least McCain hasn't changed just about all his positions to run for president. And on the most important issue, namely the WOT, McCain has been solid. THAT, IMO, is why McCain is doing well and Mitt is not. With all the other position shifts Mitt has engaged in, can we trust that his stated support of the war is truly his position? Or just another talking point?
BAck during the Rudy wars I was asked who I thought would be the Republican nominee. I answered McCain. I got a lot of scoffs, shall we say. :-}
I still think McCain will be the nominee and man does that give me heartburn.
But the truth of the matter is that the hoi polloi are not as politcally involved as those who post on these boards. They don't really give much of a damn about CFR and McCains assault on the First Amendment.
For the majority of voters he has finessed amnesty with his "I have heard the message, I will close the borders first!"
Even those of us who think John is a bit touched in the noggin are confident that he will pursue the war on jihadism with vigor.
And he finesses the tax thing with the pork thing.
If folks take him at his word he offers all three legs of the republican stool some conservatism.
John may be tough to beat.
God help us all!:-}
