Good post over at Mark Byron analyzing a recent discussion Pat Robertson had about the 2008 election. Apparently, Pat likes the idea of a pro-choice Gulianni replacing the entire Supreme Court in 2009 (I have this weird feeling Bush is going 8 years with nuthin) as opposed to electing a pro-life John McCain.
With all due respect to Reverend Robertson (we share a common school after all) I absolutely cannot fathom why he'd think this. Mark has a nice theory, though. This comment was particularly insightful.
"Is McCain more liberal than Giuliani? Not last I checked. If anything, he's more conservative on the moral issues that Robertson supposedly champions. However, McCain's less of a loyal Republican, willing to buck the party leadership. You can be a libertine, but as long as you're a loyal Republican, Rev-run Pat's got your back."
*UPDATE* Apparently Pat Robertson and I share the same initials. It looks like Pat Robertson's real name is M.G. Robertson. Weird.

John McCain's hopes of higher office was all but dashes yesterday when he and his "band of brothers" negotiated a deal to end the judicial filibuster. Prior to running for the presidency, McCain was conservative but when the media kept refering to him as a moderate during the primarys and showed him some love, his ego got the best of him and he drifted away from the Republican party. He is a terrible senator and an even worse Repbulican. His attemt at "moderation" is only a blatant display of his gigantic ego.
He will lose the 2008 Republican primary by a wide margin. My only concern is that his arrogance may pursade him to be the "Perot" of 2008. That will make him the second "Perot" to usher in a Clinton administration--Hillary's! D'oh!
Let's hope McCain comes to his senses. Arizona, don't ever vote for this guy again, not even for a dogcatcher.
