Elphaba, I don't really understand why that article made you change your opinions about McCain. Playing to the evangelicals is a clearly strategic move, as McCain was very clear in 2000 that he was not a fan. I haven't the faintest idea why Thomas wants to hurt McCain's primary chances, but this article surely isn't the way to do it, as the only piece of dirt she was able to dig up was the Keating Five allegation, which was never proven. I see no substantive reason to oppose McCain this time around and I will be supporting him against Allen in the primary.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
