Ping
Thanks for the ping. I was here earlier. There’s a couple of these threads now.
From what I can see the RNC is saying the McCain campaign was floating this for awhile; before his remarks at Saddlebrook, certainly. So does this reflect an attempt to test the waters but his remarks indicate he’s decided against such a move? Or does this reflect a continued testing the waters regardless of what he said? Who knows?
At this point I don’t trust anything or anybody. McCain has not shown fidelity to his conservative base on other issues and I see no reason to blindly accept anything now. I am, however, inclined to believe the first option I outlined is the correct one. But I’m not going to run with it. My inclination has well defined limits.
