I use my wife as a political barometer - she's sort of a squishy centrist who leans right because her husband is a knuckle-scraper and leans left because wants to be "nice." She saw the McCain interview last night on 60 Minutes and was impressed, mostly because he didn't sound canned. McCain has a lot of irritating qualities - his penchant for wanting to regulate the universe being chief among them - but I think he could be a great wartime President. And I think his "candor" (which is no doubt itself quite carefully considered) will be an asset in the coming campaign, if for no other reason than many are deadly tired of politicians who speak like politicians.Michael Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10987298276951380726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-19347863847782581812007-04-08T18:56:00.000-04:002007-04-08T18:56:00.000-04:00Anyone who likes "300" and Mad Magazine can't be a...Anyone who likes "300" and Mad Magazine can't be all bad.Tom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-40498022382849677502007-04-08T17:07:00.000-04:002007-04-08T17:07:00.000-04:00Entirely off-topic -- I'm not sure what your crite...Entirely off-topic -- I'm not sure what your criteria are for blogging here, but you may want to invite this guy:<BR/>http://rantsand.blogspot.com/Evanston2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09851967034946400308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-29883583093531747822007-04-08T13:46:00.000-04:002007-04-08T13:46:00.000-04:00Indeed, gentlemen.

Although there's so much to respect and admire about him, there's something about McCain that doesn't make people want to follow his lead.Tom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-22073290744650027632007-04-08T04:25:00.000-04:002007-04-08T04:25:00.000-04:00From the right side of the aisle to the wrong side...From the right side of the aisle to the wrong side of the isle.Jay D.
