>>Yeah, and you edited out David Gergen's immediate rejoinder to that on Nightline: something to the effect that "I don't know, it cuts both ways--McCain is showing he can unify the party and the broad middle that wins elections". Zoltan, you've sunk to quoting LIBERALS like Stephanopolous!! Get a grip! (VBG) LOL. I didn't post the whole story. So what? I gave the link. There was much more there against McCain. Gergen was a minor dissenting voice. Surprising? Not. Gergen is not a Republican, he left the GOP long ago, if he ever was one. Gergen supported Clinton/Gore and served under them. No one considers Gergen a voice for anything other than the DC establishment. I highly recommend the following series of four articles by E. J. Dionne of the Brookings Institution and Washington Post for sophisticated commentary on McCain and Bush: Message 12945535 That's the best one yet! Sophisticated to a non-savant. Anyone who uses Dionne to support his case is a case. Dionne is rabidly anti-GOP, hence his support for McCain. Maybe you should cite the NYTimes Editorials, that would cinch the deal against McCain.

Bush Campaign Misquoted Ohio Sen. nytimes.com Not a big deal, just one of those entertaining things that come across the AP wire occasionally. In the heat of Michigan's Republican presidential primary battle, the campaign of George W. Bush charged ahead a little too fast. The campaign gave reporters a quotation from Ohio Sen. George Voinovich condemning ``Catholic voter alert calls' being made by a phone bank supporting John McCain's candidacy. ``This smear campaign is beneath contempt and beyond comprehension,' it said. Voinovich is Catholic, and a Bush supporter, but he never said that. Voinovich put out his own statement vouching for the George W. and Laura Bush he had known for six years and saying, ``There is not one drop of anti-Catholic blood in their veins.' Voinovich aide Mike Dawson confirmed today that the harsher quote was suggested language from the campaign, never authorized by the senator. The discrepancy was noticed by the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch, which ran a story on its front page. At the Bush campaign, aide Scott McClellen said, ``It was our mistake.' Conspiracy theorists aside, there does seem to be a lot of people thinking W's handlers have made a mistake or two of late, but never mind. Cheers, Dan.
