Ellis Heneican spells Terri's name wrong, too...

McCain and Giuliani did stand out the most, along with minor libertarian Ron Paul. On immigration. Or Iran. On end-of-life decisions. "In retrospect, we should have taken more time," McCain said of Congress' aggressive leap into the emotional Terry Schiavo case. "That what we have courts for," Giuliani agreed.

On Rudy....

Losers: For one major candidate, this may just be a blip in the radar. For the 2nd-tier folks, this is a nail in the coffin.

Rudy Giuliani - I really think he’s having delusions that he’s been possessed by the spirit of Ronald Reagan. Most responses either referenced Reagan or how he “saved” New York. When abortion came around, he hemmed and hawed and made no sense. When the question of how the candidates are different from Bush came around he stepped right in line with Bush. He seems willing to decide issues when he’s conservative enough for the Republicans and push issues to the courts when he’s not (i.e. abortion, Schiavo). Overall, I think he created some questions about himself that will erode his support. He’s got enough juice to turn it around if he can play it right, but this certainly showed some big cracks in his armor. I think this might be the first sign to true conservatives that he’s not one of them.

Eliminate McCain and Giuliani on Terri issues. Give McCain special credit for idiocy. "We should have taken more time," said he, forgetting that the victim was being murdered before the eyes of the world. As it was, Congress did not finish the bill until Terri had been dehyrdated and starved for some six days, and had only a few more days to live.

How much time did you need to rescue a dying woman, McCain? You should have sent federal marshalls because Terri was under subpoena.
