"Too bad that Palin decided to tie herself onto the sinking USS Obama-McCain"

I was replying to that, BTW, and tend to be even more concerned about a politician's actual indications of policy preferences through actions other than group associations or rhetoric in speeches. Granted, chosen rhetoric, campaign associations and policy actions should all be analytically scrutinized.

Yes, actions and past legislation are always more indicative of where a politcian really stands. Its that John Kerry “I was in favor of it before I was against it”....only not as ignorantly publicized by Kerry.

That is why it is important to see which GOP are supporting McCain and which are supporting Hayworth. Guaranteed that those supporting Hayworth are real conservatives....and those supporting McCain need a lot more scrutiny.

Oh, and I voted for Duncan Hunter, Sr, in the primaries (even though he dropped out just before the FL primary). He was an excellent candidate....but the left in the GOP probably didnt like his “get tough on Communist China” stance
