McCain is proving his "straight shooter" status lately. Yes, he has lobbyists on his campaign staff (wall to wall lobbyist carpeting) but it's ok because they are "honorable" ones.
He also told the FEC "tough" when they told him he couldn't leave his "public support mode" funding.
I don't know about y'all , but when someone who bills himself as a "straight shooter" proves his true shooting by continually telling me to get stuffed, I don't think much of his idea of honesty.

A Combination of So What and Shadenfreude
Concerning the so-called "McCain Scandal"
OK. yes, as a humanist, i gleefully chortle and cackle and stomp my feet and rub my hands at the idea of McCain already being in hot water this soon after being crowned "heir presumptive" of the Republicans. But come on, really this is no bigger than what happened with "The Floral Incident" in the 90s with Bill and his sexual abstinence concerning "a certain woman."
Turn about is fair play, I guess, and if it helps McCain lose i can only shrug. However, I'd like to think that Obama or Clinton could thoroughly lick him without the help of Iseman.
PS. I guess McCain really has a thing for blondes!

The Changing Times
I don't think Hillary will win, I think Obama will take it.
I think the general sense is that people want change and Hillary just represents the old culture. If we elect Hillary we elect all the baggage that we got when we had Bill... no matter what policies they are for today.
For the record,I've been back and forth between Obama and Clinton, but I've leaned toward Hillary based on the policy positions she's taken and, admittedly, my own gender identification. Yes, I'm in that stereotypical "older woman" category (complete with a partly Mexicana heritage)
However, I could get behind an Obama presidency and I'm not totally immune to the fervor that's swept up the Obama campaign. It's vigorous, enthusiastic, and heartfelt. .. and the more I learn the more I like.
So, with two outstanding candidates before us, I may just go with the one with all the passion behind him. We'll see. I still have a little more than 2 weeks to go before i have to decide!

Delegates and Super Delegates
Or.. purely mortal delegates and delegates of steel.
If your into politics, I'm sure you've seen this, or at least already know the dif. If not then here's your chance to learn!

The Want To Be A Winner Syndrome
Since Barack and Hillary are the two best candidates the dems had in a long time there hasn't been all that much to distinguish one from the other . Until now.
According to this post, super delegates supporting Hillary are having buyer's remorse and thinking about switching to Barack.
In my opinion, they are wavering because, and only because, Obama is doing so well in his "clean sweeping."
So, now Barack Obama has that "new car smell" of a winner and everyone is tempted to be a part of "the movement."
Not that that's right. Not that that's bad.
That's just the way it is!

In Politics
Everyone is going back and forth between who the better nominee would be; Hillary or Obama. Either one would be good, really, since they both bring good attributes to the table. Hillary has her wonkishness and Obama has his "feel good" vibe.
They need to be on the same ticket.
She's nitro and he's glycerin. Put them together and watch the fireworks
