This all sounds acceptable to me. One of the most important functions of the primaries is to permit the party and the grassroots to apply pressure to candidates, and vice versa, to create new agreements and new policy positions. My ideal grand bargain is zero new illegal immigration, citizenship for those here who want it, repatriation for the remainder (starting with criminals). Seems to me McCain’s closest to this.
PS Right again, Tabin. That McCain can be winning this clearly and be this solemn says something, doesn’t it?
