I do think he's the best choice for foreign policy issues--including Iraq/Afghanistan. McCain's own economic advisers think his econ policy is full of shit. There's really only one choice, and I still think he's a good choice, but I wish he'd stick to his guns rather than trying to triangulate some mythical "center", a strategy that has killed the last two Dem nominees.

That's an interesting perspective Rat. I didn't think of it as a rightward shift. But I guess it worked because he has got me more now.
Perhaps the mythical center is not a myth?
