I can’t believe I was actually nervous when Republicans picked John McCain as their nominee.  Deserved, or not, McCain’s maverick reputation was carved in stone, and he was well liked by Independents and moderate Democrats.  Admittedly, this drove me crazy.  Hell, there were some people who actually believed he was “pro-choice”.  Nuts.

Now that reputation is crumbling, squandered in the way Bush squandered the world’s goodwill after 9/11.  All he has left are the people he spent a career distancing himself from – the “religious” right.

And whose fault is that?

Oh yeah, the McCain campaign has placed themselves in a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation time and time again.  Go ahead.  Pick a topic.  McCain screwed it up.
