McCain Issues Challenge-Think Progress Takes Him On & Gives Us The Ammo
McCain Issues A Challenge: ‘Nobody Can Name’ An Issue I Have Flip-Flopped On

On ABC’s The View today, host Joy Behar complained to John McCain that “you used to be more of the Maverick, then you sort of turned.” “In what way?” McCain asked. “You became much more lockstep, I think, with your party, with George Bush’s policies,” Behar answered, adding, “I don’t see the old John McCain. … I understand why — you want to get elected.” McCain issued this challenge in his defense:

I’ve been through this litany before, where I say, “ok, what specific area have I quote changed?” Nobody can name it. … I am the same person and I have the same principles.

4. Thanks kpete and sister!
I've just written a letter to the editor on McCain and expect to be hammered. I'll keep these lists by the telephone. This is Utah, after all.
