McCain vs. McCain Jeff Taylor \| March 3, 2008, 10:33am That didn't take very long. Scant weeks after making a "no new taxes" pledge -- quite the U-turn in itself -- Sen. John McCain has doubled back to clarify. Uh-oh. McCain tells The Wall Street Journal in an interview today that, "I'm not making a 'read my lips' statement, in that I will not raise taxes. But I'm not saying I can envision a scenario where I would, OK?" Gotcha. Clear as mud, senator. McCain also adds that as President he would not bitch so much about the Federal Reserve needing to cut rates to prop up the economy and that he'd explain all of these economic details in "a couple fireside chats" to help buck up consumer confidence. Or something. Cannot wait to hear conservative talk radio hosts spin -- or is it denounce day? -- McCain's latest zag. reason.com

Re: "Republicans for Hillary: The Anecdotal Evidence Builds... It's fueled by guys like Rush Limbaugh, by Ann Coulter, who're telling them to keep Hillary in this race....' Suppose you can add Gov. Crist to the list above. He was quoted today saying that he supported allowing the Dems in FL to re-hold their primary (so the national Dem Party would count the votes). Previously, most Reps in FL were officially opposed to this, but think of what the results of re-holding FL's voting would be... regardless of which of the two, Obama or Clinton, came out on top in FL's vote, because of the large delegate haul the practical result of re-holding the contest at this late date (would take a while to get it all set up, too) would be to DELAY the date at which a Dem candidate was arrived at. Thus shortening the campaign period for the general election and giving the GOP candidate more chance to run past the stalled Dem field. :-)
