The McCain Mutiny?

   A respected colleague of DFL persuasion asked me today, innocently and
   seriously, if I thought the McCain nomination was a done deal. The
   prospect has reached the worrisome stage.
   The best analysis / rebuttal of McCain's "straight talk" I've seen to
   date comes from [1]Ann Coulter at Townhall.com:

     Of course, I might lie constantly too, if I were seeking the
     Republican presidential nomination after enthusiastically promoting
     amnesty for illegal aliens, Social Security credit for illegal
     aliens, criminal trials for terrorists, stem-cell research on human
     embryos, crackpot global warming legislation and free
     speech-crushing campaign-finance laws.
     I might lie too, if I had opposed the Bush tax cuts, a marriage
     amendment to the Constitution, waterboarding terrorists and
     drilling in Alaska.
     And I might lie if I had called the ads of the Swift Boat Veterans
     for Truth "dishonest and dishonorable."

   That's just for openers! The February Caucus should prove interesting
   once we get past hearing about Ron Paul.
