Oh, Come On!

As you may recall from previous months, our good 'ole friend Tom Delay ran in the Republican primary in Texas. He won that race despite the fact that he is being indicted on serious abuses of power and infractions on federal law. Today, Democrats can take a slight sigh of releif, Tom Delay has dropped out of the race. He was making a mockery of the electoral process by running, he did things wrong and he still was going to run for a national office, though the obviously ill-informed people of Texas have some explaining to do as well.
In other news and rants, John McCain recently went on Meet the Press with Tim Russert. He completely reversed his views on many of the issues that have come up recently. McCain, obviously giving to GOP pressure, removed much of the respect I had for him. Any chance he had for my vote previously (actually a very good chance) for president has been lost. He moved farther to the right at a time when the Republicans have some airing skeletons. Great move John! Way to alienate the populace, and those who believed in moderate Republicans. I think I can speak for many of us when I say, Look somewhere else for support Sen. McCain.
