The knives are juicing for McCain, after the Florida Republicans juiced him. Hewitt's math says that Super-Tuesday may not end it, one way or the other. On that score, the debate promises to be lively, even without Rudy's fine one-liners ("If Ronald Reagan were on the stage, he'd be in one of Mitt's attack ads.").
After notably spurning the freakishness of it last year, McCain will also go to CPAC this year (Feb 5) (to frolic with the likes of Ann Coulter? I just want one picture, of that, okay.).
AS's reader writes:
[McCain] rambled through, grousing yet triumphant, middle fingers raised to Rumsfeld on the right and the New York Times on the left. Even if you dislike McCain, you have to admit: It was a glorious moment for him.
That romp through Baghdad to declare it safe was 'glorious'? I'm sorry, but "I have no confidence in Secretary Rumsfeld" is hardly a high-flying rebuke, even in Republican-speak.
