You ought to know McCain by now.
But it seems like you forget too easily.
McCain has been trying to work out a deal with the Democrats to switch parties for 7 years now, and they’ve finally reached one recently.
McCain denounces conservative judges like Alito and promises not to nominate any like him, and the liberal Washington establishment throws Hillary under the bus, clearing the way for an easy win for McCain.
He and his running mate Joe Lieberman will switch parties after an early high-profile fight McCain picks with the GOP leadership.
Then the majority Democrats pass his agenda.
Why have they agreed to this?
Because they see the writing on the wall about Iraq. They know they’re on the wrong side of history and all their candidates have painted themselves into a corner.
McCain switching parties is their way out.
They want to steal the victory in Iraq from the Republicans and claim it as their own.
This has to do with their long term legacy, because they are now very concerned about a repeat of the reputation they got after Vietnam, and this is their plan to avoid a repeat of it.
And Romney is any better?
