Remember, John McCain is known for, ahem, speaking out against torture.

Trust me, it’s not a gift for him or for the GOP. They don’t want Huckabee as the nominee, and they’re not going to restart the primaries all over again.

What this does is cripple McCain, weaken him enough for the Fundies to force him to take one of their own as his running mate. And that will cost him at least five percentage points in the general — enough to guarantee a Democratic victory.

As far as staying power…

He’s the Senator who was flying around with a 32 year-old lobbyist – when he was 65.

Bet that kept his rectitude straight.

“Any hint that I might have acted to reward a supporter,” he wrote, “would be taken as an egregious act of hypocrisy.”

Where’s EG?
