Salazar hitches his wagon to a star
Arizona Republican Senator John McCain is a popular guy. Conservatives love him because he's a good soldier, supporting Bush even after Rove & Co attempted to destroy the Senator's career. Liberals love him because he has been a champion of campaign finance reform and environmental causes. Along with Mitt Romney and George Allen, McCain is a front runner in the 2008 Republican presidential primary.
Now McCain has joined forces with Colorado Democratic Senator Ken Salazar. A press release from Salazar's office states that "a new bipartisan commission proposed by Senators Ken Salazar (D-CO) and John McCain (R-AZ) will undertake a fresh review of health care in the U.S. with one goal: implementing the best ideas to provide real solutions for the millions of Americans trapped in this Nation's health care crisis." (Read the whole release at salazar.senate.gov.)
Check out this shot that Salazar got off in the Post: "The president has not done anything in respect to health care since he was elected." Apparently our Senator has a backbone. Having McCain on his side can't hurt either.

McCain wants to have it both ways. He wants to appear morally superior to the Bush administration but he also wants to appear loyal. You don't stop torture by voting for the torturer in chief, or should I say the torturer in chief's (Cheney's) side kick. Sure he hjad to support Bush but he need not have been such a high profile supporter of Bush. Like Colin Powell, he is a self-righteous hypocrite. Unfortunately, he seems to be very popular and could probably beat a Dem. candidate. Fortunately, he will never make it out of a Republican primary as long as the religious right has anything to say about it.
