McCain

There's a lot about John McCain to admire, and that's a refreshingly thing to say about a Republican. On top of the list, along with his survival in the Hanoi Hilton, I would put his opposition to torture (although he has, sadly, backed off that in the past couple of months, presumably to be "loyal" to Bush).

Nevertheless, there's things about him that make it important that he not win. On top of that list I would put his stated determination to continue appointing people like Roberts and Alito, two very nice guys who are legal troglodytes, to the Supreme Court. There's also that famous temper. Did he really call his wife that? I have learned not to trust people who can't control their temper.

But this is a battle for the future of America, folks, and if we've learned anything in the past 28 years, it's that the Torture Party has no line they won't cross to win an election.
