Can someone tell me why he is signing this bill? If he were governing by the polls, he would veto it, right? An earlier post indicates 78% of people think he should veto it. If he weren't governing by the polls, as he would seem not to be, then he is likely acting on principle, or trying to ensure a smoother working relationship with, and among, the Congress. So which of the two is it?

To take an issue away from Mcain-Feingold. If he vetoed it Mcain and the demos have an issue. Now McCain will be quiet as this goes court and hopefully be shot down and what's McCain going to do then? Trash the Supreme Court?

The press would have a field day if he vetoed.

BTW, joe sixpack doesn't really care about this and that 78% figure you saw was an online poll, which is not scientific or accurate.
