I just watched the McCain MTP segment with Gregory. The senator is really a tragedy. His inner struggle to stay away from positions that alienate the moderates, of any party, is palpable. His "glowing" tributes to President Bush while at the same time attacking Rumsfeld merely indicate, once again, how deeply committed he is to seducing those who hover around the "safety" of the middle.

McCain talks about sending more troops to Iraq, to please the hawks; and he continues to interfere with Administration's conduct of vital interrogation policies etc., to please the doves. I really can't listen to him.

Great analysis of what McCain is doing and has been doing for months now.
