The McCain campaign has had some remarkable blunders this summer and fall, with, most memorably, the campaign staff once saying on the record that John McCain does not speak for the McCain campaign. The lack of coherence between the candidate, his veep, and the campaign staff has been an ominous indicator of what the West Wing would look like if

A very interesting analysis.

I wonder if McCain finally recognized the lynch mob potential of his followers and was horrified by it...or whether it was purely a political move. I do believe he loves America, or at least his version of it. And perhaps that was over the line for him.

Alas, apparently not, see today's update. And what follows is not me unloading on you, it's just me unloading, because watching McCain is getting harder every day

Thanks for the catch! Yes, it was Bush 41, not Reagan, who claimed to believe in volunteers as "points of light," unlike the two individuals on the current Republican ticket, who apparently consider volunteers the lowest of the low.

I am completely charmed by your VR-WC elaboration. Of course! ;)

And I am not charmed, but chagrined by your Contra recap, because of course you are right again. The chagrin is I didn't think of it myself. Thanks again!
