I am willing to give him a chance - but I must say I have reservations.

i think we agree on mccain's ethics and the lack of same in many.

that's what i think will make the last weeks of the campaign so painful for him.

i don't think he's running for himself anymore. i think he's running for something bigger than himself (a party he still believes is best for his country). and to benefit that party he has to run a campaign that denigrates an opponent in ways he knows are false.

he has to sacrifice his personal ethics for what he views as the greater good.

okay. that's it for me. screw this overly serious crap.

i'm going back to the easy punchline.

where's tim?
