[Question Liberal Authority]

Maybe he can keep McCain from doing something really stupid

I believe he can. Even if JD doesn't win, McCain's been running radio ads portraying himself as an anti-Obama, rock-ribbed conservative. Without a challenger, McCain could have lapsed into Amnesty / Cap N Tax mode. So even if JD loses the race, he still wins.

McClame will be forced on record at the least. I think JD can do it.
