Since Fred dropped out of the race, I've moved over to the Romney camp. I'm not thrilled at all with the choices available to us this year in the presidential race, Mitt included, but at least he's better than McCain, who has conservatives wary because of
stuff like this:
"Wouldn't it be great if you get a chance to name somebody like Roberts and Alito?" one lawyer commented. McCain replied, "Well, certainly Roberts." Jaws were described as dropping. My sources cannot remember exactly what McCain said next, but their recollection is that he described Alito as too conservative.
Meanwhile, anti-tax activist Grover Norquist is worried because a prominent journalist informed him that a few years ago McCain said to him, off the record, that as president he would have to raise taxes. More recently McCain has told me, on the record, that he would never support a tax increase and, consequently, favors making the Bush tax cuts permanent.
This election is going to be a massive mess no matter who wins, I fear...
