Sorry, no message here, just refuse to vote for a man that I believe has shown, without a doubt, no moral scruples beyond WIIFM. You will have to look to someone else for a message.

The Harriet Miers debacle showed the dangers of placing loyalty over principle. This is yet another opportunity for McCain to demonstrate whether his “maverick” ways were for real or for show. Loyalty is nice for keeping friends; principle is mandatory for governing properly. A maverick would pick a VP based on principle while the standard to date seems to have been loyalty.
