Straight Talk?

I always thought that one of the things that hurt Bob Dole in 1996 was his comment in the beginning of the primaries to a group of conservative Republicans that "if you want another Ronald Reagan, that's who I'll be." It was an incredibly damaging pander that hurt his credibility from that point forward.

I think a similar thing, on a much broader scale, is happening to John McCain. McCain's approval rating is down to 52%, from 59% in December. McCain's pandering to the right, along with his support for an incredibly unpopular war policy, has derailed the "Straight Talk Express" upon which he built his political strength.

Just take a look here.
