The Problem With McCain
…how does a man of proclaimed “principle”–a proclamation bolstered by those who know him best and by a 16-year voting record–go so wrong on such consequential issues? Skeptics heap scorn on the notion that McCain has any principles. “His principle is that he should codify any prejudice he happens to have,” scoffs Ed Crane, president of the Cato Institute.
McCain’s friends, foes, and biography suggest a more complicated, but no less politically worrisome, explanation. For John McCain, principle is fundamentally about honor–personal honor: about keeping his word, about doing what is right and doing it well. “Principle” combines honesty, stubbornness, and loyalty. This notion of principle is very different from adhering to a consistent political philosophy. It explains McCain’s popular appeal, especially in contrast to the exceptionally dishonorable Clinton administration, but also accounts for the distrust, even contempt, he inspires among the ideologically committed.

And as Robert Bidinotto says, we don’t need another Teddy Roosevelt–another “liberal fascist.”
I Don’t Feel Quite So Badly Now
I’m not the only one having issues with Movable Type:
I have succeeded in loading Style Contest templates into my style browser, and have applied them, and been informed I have successfully applied them and republished the site, and they do not show up. In fact it managed to destroy the page entirely, putting all the columns at the bottom of the page. Time to rip it up and start from scratch.
Don’t email me until I send up flares. I need to figure this out myself.
Good luck with that, James.

A (Huge) Missed Opportunity
Chris Wallace on Fox News asked Huckabee how his campaign differed from others. His response was that he listened to “the little people.”
How did that differ from an answer from Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama? Or any Democrat candidate?
“Crack Found In Man’s Buttocks”
That’s really the headline. Wonder how hard they had to look to find it.
Should that copy editor be fired, or promoted?

In Praise Of Hegemony
Some thoughts from Arnold Kling.
Someone has to be the hegemon. The goal should be to ensure that it is one that maximizes individual freedom and productivity.
