#1 Senator McCain announced his run on the Letterman Show. And he has used Saturday Night Live to send a couple of messages. Of course, President Ford did as well - even allowing his Press Secretary to host one week - with less success. He appears to be a down to earth type. A straight shooter should be an easier sell that Obama's pie in the sky promise circus. The drawback is that US voters want substantial change. Harsh regulation of financial institutions is an essential campaign platform, and it would distance McCain from the current GOP administration, with its ties to Enron and other sleight-of-hand artists. And, McCain could at long last end the downplay of the 1400 year civil war that revived itself in Iraq. Hopefully, we hear support for the opposition in Iran, and for an agreement with Russia, et al on both Arctic resources and Euro-ABMs. And absolute preconditions must be dumped on Paleos, should they demand a state. McCain has a lot to work with.

What ties? They're both from Texas? Enron had stronger ties with Gray Davis.
