“The reversal comes as McCain, a conservative senator from Arizona...”

Uhhh, right.

I’ll take it. Let’s hear what his opponent has to say.

McCain was asked specifically Sunday whether he supported an effort to get a referendum on the ballot in Arizona that would "do away with affirmative action."

"Yes, I do," said McCain in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

The Republican senator quickly added that he had not seen the details of the proposal. "But I've always opposed quotas."

This is true: He has been consistent in opposing preferential affirmative action based on skin color, gender, ethnicity.

And with good cause too. Arizona has suffered a great deal of the same ailments CA suffered: The Human Bean counters demanded that public job X have 4 slots filled with persons of a specific skin color; but no one of that skin color applied; therefore, the job was not and could not be filled. Whether or not a Human Bean of another color trained, studied and was pining for the opportunity; too bad, job goes unfilled.

MaCain is starting to sound conservative. Well, it’s a first step in the right direction. I hope he keep moving that way.

If he keeps this up, I just might vote for him.

I’m not sure exactly what to do. I mean, I find myself in unfamiliar territory...

Agreeing with John McCain. If he keeps changing his positions on everything he might just become conservative enough I’ll have to vote for him.

A bit of an exaggeration, but only a bit.

I work for a staffing company and one thing I found very interesting is that, legally, we cannot do any staffing based on helping a firm meet affirmative actions targets. Any order that includes any requirements as to race, gender, etc. has to be refused.

It is perfectly legal for the federal government to award a contract with quotas in place, but illegal to do any hiring based on those quotas.

I was going to say that if we had banned Affirmative Action years ago we would have no Obama but then I remembered that Harvard is a private school and that they can discriminate for any reason they like.

Good move. It’s not like he was going to get many minority votes anyway, and with this he can keep a lot of the hard-right types on the reservation. Keep it up John boy!

Take off the training wheels. Welcome to the real world. Throw ‘em in the pool and they’ll swim. Just don’t put ‘em in the deep end. That’s where Obama’s sinking.
