>Charlie. Probably the same reason the funny, intelligent, passionate Al Gore who promotes "An Inconvenient Truth" isn't the same as the carboard robot who ran for President (and still almost beat Bush). If that guy had been on the ticket we wouldn't be in this mess now. As much as I disagree with McCain on just about everything, I really do believe that he's better than the people who are running his campaign. But of course, since he made the choice to let those people -- the same people who savaged him in 2000 when he was running against Bush -- control his campaign, the responsibility is his. He made a deal with the devil's of the right, who he had previously opposed. I think that'st the root of a lot of the ambiguity in his campaign though.

Anyway, I just thought I should say that despite the lack of onlist chatter, some of us abroad are watching closely (I watched the first two debates in their entirety, and highlights of the third, and the roast from the dinner the other night - how come the McCain that was delivering such good lines in the roast doesn't seem to be the same one that's running for President??).
