But the traits that made me admire McCain's Straight Talk Express in 2000 are no longer apparent today. McCain lost my respect when he made a Faustian bargain to get the vote of his party's base.

On Friday, at a campaign rally in Mt. Pleasant, one McCain supporter, Mike Schaffer, said he had called 12 voters that morning on behalf of the campaign. "Four of them were adamant that they were not happy with him, naming this issue...
...other years I've parsed the portents of the Globe awards, and applauded or derided the winners' speeches. This time there was no star wattage; the announcers on the channels I watched all sank into a sea of blandness and blondness. As for hints of Oscar triumphs and upsets... honestly, does it matter?
