[For the Republican media darling declared recently by Chris Matthews to be the one candidate who "deserves the presidency,"]

Matthews would be the first to declare McCain "legally insane" once he got the GOP nomination.

As much as I don't like McCain as a candidate, there's nothing coming out of "The Nation" that's worth a warm bucket of spit.

This is a less credible source than the NYT.

"This just shows that McCain is mentally unstable and out of control and vindictive."

I second that motion!

A glimmering of insanity, which is good news.

I don't like the Nation, either, but this story is a report of factual happenings, not an opinion piece. What is inacurrate in this story? Did McCain's slate for the GOP state committee win? Did the anti-McCain activist not say the negative things about McCain that are attributed to him? Is McCain actually popular with conservative Republicans in Arizona, contrary to what this article reports? What exactly is factually incorrect about this story?

"This just shows that McCain is mentally unstable and out of control and vindictive," Haney told me. "If he is determined to go through that much trouble to attack a district committee chairman, what does that say about his ability to handle real political problems?"

I like those results. It's interesting that they conducted that poll at the Maricopa County meeting, but not the State Party Meeting.

How's the Arizona Conservative then?

The good part is Mcinsane will divide the RINO vote from Rudy so a more conservative candidate can win.

We do need to get around ONE conservative candidate before too long.

I don't know. I wasn't there and don't know if you were. I would feel more confident reading this from a more 'trusted' source with less of an agenda.

With Katrina vanden Heuvel miserable rag, it is impossible to separate news from opinion.

I still remember McCain and the "Keating Five" and what Charles Keating did to unsuspecting old folks by legally stealing their life savings with his uninsured "CD's" from his failing S&L's. (and I'm not talking about CD's ya listen to, neither!)

McCain absolutely helped Keating get clean away with it!!!

McCain's botched revenge has solidified his reputation in Arizona's Republican circles as a divisive, untrustworthy and even dangerous figure.

Right. His attacks on the First Amendment did him in, as far as I'm concerned, as well as the fact he's a hypocrite.
