A lunchtime visit from your friendly neighborhood McCainiac (that's me): This is clearly internecine war for the Republican Party. War is hell. It comes down to this: Is McCain-style reform of business as usual in Washington and the attack on corruption of money something you believe in and is important to you? McCain is tapping into this incredible grass roots discontent with politics as usual. I won't ever convince you all here, but he is arguably a non-nutty, non-stupid, non-reactionary Ross Perot, an intelligent populist. People like that. Do you buy it? If so, vote for McCain. Many of you Reaganites will not buy this and you will vote for Bush and hope he is a Reagan-redux, not a third-rate Reagan wannabe who will change absolutely nothing in Washington and will just be a safe controllable, predictable lapdog for special interests. Place your bets. If McCain wins, though, no matter what happens, it won't be boring. BTW, I seriously doubt your IRS bottom line will differ much between Bush and McCain, after they both deal with congress and face up to the fact that social security and medicare have to be paid for. so forget about that. If anything, McCain will use your taxes better by cutting wasteful boondoggle military spending in favor of what the military needs. Only McCain has the moral authority and history to really tell the generals where to go--he is the anti-Clinton par excellence here. P.S.: McCain will lose Virginia on local issues: the Reagan Airport thing and cutting the Seawolf. Not enough Catholics in Virginia. But in New York?, Katie bar the door. South Carolina will boomerang on Bush in New York.
