Well, you know the OBL’s are going to argue that McCain was doing fine with Hispanics until he “pandered” to the GOP on the subject of immigration, and went back on some of his positions.

well that probably ticked off both camps who saw him as trying to have it both ways. Nobody wants a dancer and so much for straight talk.

Yeah, that's tough to do.

Probably has something to do with why Barry Goldwater said more than once, that Richard Nixon was the most dishonest man he'd ever met in his life, and Barry had no use for him.

Nixon was a career negotiator and adjuster and nuance-nodder. He also went back on his Republican principles to do wage and price controls in 1971 -- although going to Peking, in retrospect, was probably a good idea.

Still, all the praise from the chattering classes for China and wage-and-price controls bought him what exactly, when Watergate broke?
