Politico reported last night that Senator McCain is expressing disapproval towards Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman's attempt to write a bipartisan climate bill. The piece suggests a position switch, pointing out that McCain has previously introduced climate legislation to the Senate multiple times. The article raises the question over whether the recession in Arizona, which has been especially hard-hitting, is playing a role in his current stance towards a cap and trade bill.
What also could be at play is McCain's 2010 race. Rasmussen polling reported this morning that McCain is only two points ahead of former conservative Republican Congressman J.D. Hayworth for the primary. The last thing McCain needs right now politically is to be labeled as a "job killer" or even as a "Republican in name only."

Yes, MacCaine the maverick is back. I cannot keep up with this guys shits in position. Equally important are the likes of Ben Nelson and his ilk. I have heard that there is a lot of money being thrown around by Democrats to buy off votes from Blue Dogs to support Govt. Healthcare. Many Americans are uninformed about the sleez going on out there. That is a larger point for me.
At least JM is not completely politically suicidal. The Democrats seem to be acting like suicide bombers but on political level. They do not care about what the American people want. The question is: how many people are paying attention--I fear not enough--yet polls may be saying otherwise. So here is hoping for optimism.

Martin,
I assume that in your first sentence you intended to have at least one more 'f' but the typo added tremendously to my enjoyment of your comment as it is closer to the truth with the letter missing.

Its the old Arlen Specter strategy: hang with the Democrats for 5 years, then spend the 6th year dusting off the "conservative" credentials. Worked for Arlen time after time.

This one is on the people of Arizona. We have a President Obama because McCain. If McCain is re-elected the Tea Parties were a waste of time.

The major issue is to get rid of those Repubs who do not represent the voters and to get rid of democrats who also do not represent the voters. The majority of American voters do not support Obama Care or the Democratic economic agenda--nor do they support Obama's view of foreign policy and national defense: There is a war on Terror !! 2010 is not far away--this will be the first crucial election--2012 the next. It is winning that is most important. To do that pick your battles wisely. It is crucial to recognize that many so called independents are ready to go center right--they do not want their livelihoods destroyed. While I certainly do not like MacCaine
I dislike even more Obama and the Democratic Party's leadership. The voting I suspect in these elections will be against not For.
