Although the seven Republicans senators (McCain, DeWine, Snowe, Warner, Collins, Chafee and Graham) sold out the president, their party, and everyone who voted them in, they have assured themselves the label of “moderate Republican” from the New York Times for at least a year.
The only thing resolved in this so-called “deal” is that if John McCain wants to be president he’s going to have to win the Democratic nomination.
This may be a good time to sell McCain short in his bid:
2008REP.NOM.MCCAIN 16.2 -1.6
This move also damages Frist’s chances:
2008REP.NOM.FRIST 14.0 -0.6
Hurry, by the time Jim Lampley points this out it’ll be too late!
