I sure hope that McCain reverts to being a reasonably good guy after losing next week, but I have my doubts.

I've been absolutely astouned at his cave-in to the Karl Rove school of "thought" once he was pretty sure of the GOP nomination. I'd like to believe that this is a temporary abberation, but...

...for McCain to adapt such a stance when he is at the absolute height of his visibiliy and influence, and to persue divisive tactics that are bound to reverberate for a long time after the campaign is over ~ I'm not sure he can ever been seen in the same light as when he was a truly bipartisan and independent force in the Senate.
