No kidding! Why does he continue to contribute 60%(!!!!!) to the party that snubbed him and his child? I know a family who have first hand experience with Ted Kennedy's compassion through a similar situation. And now through this gentleman's story we all know how our President and his "ranchhands" react to citizens (a Texan even!!) in need. Keep this in mind if you are even considering a vote for McBush in the fall.

The only reason McCain is competitive is his straight-talk brand, and he's squandering that with concessions that align him with business-as-usual in Washington. A moderate Republican and former Senate aide who asked to remain anonymous thinks the only way McCain gets back in the game is to come up with an eye-popping vice presidential pick. Her choice is New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. She doesn't think her party will do it, but she ticks off the reasons why it makes sense. He would make up for McCain's weakness on domestic policy, principally the economy, and he would help with the Jewish vote. A self-made billionaire with a social conscience, he could win over disaffected Republicans and independents. McCain made his name confronting partisan orthodoxy. Still, a lot more polls will have to show Obama a lot further ahead for McCain to venture that far outside of his party's comfort zone.
