"An American original." You must be joking. If there is anything I dislike about McCain, it's his phoniness. He made campaign reform his central issue. Yet he took money in exchange for access. Have you forgotten he's one of the Keating Five? In addition, he has not denied accepting contributions from people on whose behalf he influenced either legislation or government agencies' ruling. When questioned about those things, his answer was quintessentially Clintonesque: It's the system that tainted everybody, including himself. Well, if you don't like fleas, don't lie down with them. Frankly, I don't want a president like Clinton. If I did, Gore would get my vote, not McCain.

Political analysts also say that should Mr. McCain pull off the nomination, the Democratic support that he has enjoyed will disappear. "It is not likely that most of the Democrats who voted for McCain will stick with him," said Mr. Faucheux. "Democrats and independents say yes to him now, but they are a different kind than Ronald Reagan attracted. They were attitudinally conservative and the McCain independents and Democrats do not appear to be that." David Townsend, a Democratic pollster and consultant in California, agreed. He said most of today's McCain Democrats will change their minds if faced with a general election between Mr. McCain and the Democratic nominee ? and they'll make the switch for traditional ideological reasons. washtimes.com
