McCain Backs Obama's Iraq War Plan

Patrick:
Wouldn't it be nice to see more Republicans work with the President on non- partisan issues? I don't expect to see much of that. McCain will likely be the "maverick" for the next four years if he keeps this up -- unless the nation really "hits the skids" more than it has already. It seems to take a national tragedy to shock most politicians out of their sectarian mindset. It is like a mental illness for many of them.

Update: Maybe McCain won't be too supportive after all.

Romney Wins CPAC Poll, Palin Tied For Third With Ron Paul
Patrick: I'm somewhat comforted that most of the folks at the Conservative Political Action Conference had enough sense not to pin their hopes on Sarah Palin as a presidential candidate. Not that I'm opposed to a woman getting the nomination. I'm only opposed to an unqualified person getting it. Sarah Palin's embarrassing lack of knowledge about foreign policy issues was obvious in her interviews with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric. Ironically, she tied with Ron Paul who may be the only Republican candidate in the last election that understood the problems in the Middle East. Remember his debate comments about the 9/11 attacks being "blowback"? His fellow candidates had canipshun fits over that. But Ron Paul was right. Read how the CIA helped to overthrow a democratically elected leader in Iran:

Update: Unfortunately, a CNN poll of Republicans shows that Palin has more support than other candidates.
