New York Times

Newsflash folks !!! The New York Times endorsed John McCain. Does no one remember that? It would be ridiculous for them to endorse him one day, and then turn around and set out to destroy him the next.

They are lobbing softballs to the "conservative" punditry so that they spend more time defending him against the simple articles, refuting "attacks," and less time discussing his substantial policy differences with the mainstream of both his party and the mainstream of the country.

The constitutional question raised recently regarding his citizenship status was resolved in 1790. The hinted to inappropriate relationship story was mostly inuendo and had little to no checkable facts. The New York Times may at times show bias, but they are very effective at what they do. They have sources for stories and the new fangled internet thingy for fact checking.

McCain still does not have the delegates he needs to be the Republican nominee. There are 3 candidates in the race (some have even said that Romney left the door open by suspending and not quitting) and a slim chance for a brokered convention.


If nothing else make McCain answer the tough questions, grill him on economics, diplomacy, constitutional law. Have him prove that he can at least govern as a moderate. He told a reporter just yesterday he was liberal. He later apologized, meaning to call Obama a liberal.

Do not think for a second that he needs your help defending against attacks from his friends at the New York Times. He does not have to prove anything to the left, they love him.

He needs to prove to the libertarians, the social conservatives, the old right, the fiscal conservatives, etc. that he can be their nominee.
