I'd root for McCain were it not for the risk that he'd get elected.

I'm afraid I particularly despise McCain precisely because of his one-time lack of despicability.

I agree. How clumsy of him whore for votes in a manner that people noticed.

It was therefore refreshing to see him take a principled and potentially unpopular decision, if only on that one issue.

I do wish C&L had included Gravel's answer.

That would only have been possible if Gravel had switched parties. (He is a wild-eyed coot, but he's a Democrat.)

D'oh. Having seen the debates only through the prism of C&L, I don't have him fixed firmly in memory. (I confess to not having paid much attention to him when he was in office.)

Dr. X posts this from that domed city across the Knik Arm:

"Gravel, is of course, insane, as a cursory review of his insane political positions will reveal. What's next? People Day?"
