In my book, "none of the above". Don't like any of the Dems either. Hell!

It seems a stretch to assume he has a copy of Human Action or Hayek on his bedside table. He doesn't have a voting record anything like RP's. Given his potential lead, lets hope he has become a recent convert. I also hope his AGW is nothing more than polling-spin fluff as Green-Hysteria zealots in power are far more dangerous than your average insincere politicians. Tear down that Leviathan, Mr. NcCain!

And that is the central tent pole of the Republican Party. The big ideas of the Republican Party can't be done or achieved without fiscal restraint. And that is why if Thompson drops out, McCain is a better candidate than the other four who could still win the nomination (Romney, Huckabee, Giuliani). As for his thoughts on global warming, we have heard him talk about a Manhattan project for alternative energy. Now if I am not mistaken he voted against Kyoto when it came up in the Senate. So maybe I am missing something but what is his support for "global warming and other economically-crippling (and scientificcally dubious) ideas.

It was quite a shocker. However, McCain still seems to endorse the ideas of global warming spending and other economically-crippling (and scientifically dubious) ideas. McCain now has a few more positives, but I am still wary. I saw Jack Kemp last night on Hannity and Colmes boosting McCain and his “capital formation” economics. It was quite a shocker.
