Looking at McCain

Kevin Drum writes about Matt Welch's article in the LA Times about McCain. I think that in comparison to Bush, McCain look decent (so does a chia pet). Of course that's completely frightening that our standards have been lowered so much. In 2000 when McCain was running I liked how he spoke and I had some respect for his statesmen like conduct, but as I looked into his actual positions, I found they didn't match mine at all, particularly on social issues. Now on Iraq I agree he's pretty far removed from reality. My guess is that he won't get the nomination this time either, at least I hope so.
