Powerline Wants to Coronate McCain

Powerline is typically one of the better blogs around. But Paul says that he hopes most viewers did not watch the GOP debate last night because it made McCain look so deceitful, dishonest and unpresidential. Unfortunately, this is the problem with U.S. politics. We want 30 second soundbites without the electorate really understanding the candidate positions.

Frankly, if Republicans had been paying attention all along, McCain probably wouldn't be in the lead. Not unlike some politicians, the more the public sees McCain debate, the less they like him.
