Oh, ok - but didn't McCain agree with Bush 90 percent of the time on everything else? Seriously - I am still trying to figure out how McCain differs from Bush. Everything I read - yeah, I work for a paper and see tons of articles, plus reports by ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC and Reuters - points to an extension of Bush. After 8 years of this crap, 8 is enough. I will admit - I was contemplating voting for McCain in 2000, when Bush swiftboated him. Now? The 2000 McCain is a hollow shell of the 2008 version. I would call this new McCain a downgrade of sorts.

I liked the 2000 McCain too. With 2008 approaching McCain saw this as his last chance and is doing whatever he can to get elected. As the Republican primaries approached, he went from voting with Bush 50% if the time to voting with him 90%. He's taken every erratic gamble he can to be president, from picking Palin as VP to the bailout debacle where he did a 360 on his past economic beliefs.
