McCain's Gets
Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN), former Sen. Don Nickles (R-OK) and former CA Gov. Pete Wilson endorsed John McCain this weekend.
Meanwhile, New York Newsday did the same. A snippet:
McCain has championed effective campaign finance reform, working closely with Democratic allies to push through landmark legislation. Alone among leading Republicans, he has recognized the dangers posed by climate change and has been a strong early advocate for curbs on global warming, sponsoring bipartisan legislation mandating market-based solutions.
At the risk of alienating most of his party's leaders, he has been a staunch supporter of rational changes in immigration laws to allow the normalization of undocumented workers in American society. This issue alone has turned the conservative movement against him. Right-wing radio talk show hosts attack him with vile language, almost to demonize him for acting on his principles. ...
Even in the context of a conservative Republican constituency, it may be a stretch to call McCain a moderate. But of all Republican candidates, he is far closer to representing the concern of voters in the broad center of the political spectrum.
At age 71, McCain has said himself that he can't very well be called a comeback kid. And his age - he could be the oldest U.S. president ever to take office - may worry some. But his positive qualities overall outweigh his weaknesses. Newsday endorses him for the Republican nomination.

John McCain is trying to cheat and lie to win this election. It's just like when he cheated on his disabled wife and eventually divorced her for his rich, younger mistress.
It's also like the Keating 5, when McCain cheated the American tax payers out of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Since McCain can't really talk about his senate record (amnesty, against tax cuts, 50 cent gasoline tax, etc.) he tries to play up his "character". I think his character is despicable. Cheating on and divorcing a crippled wife, wow that's bad.
Mitt is going all the way!!!
