Thomas Sowell's line drive to McCain's yarbles
John McCain trails the pack in the temperament department, with his volatile, arrogant, and abrasive know-it-all attitude. His track record in the Senate is full of the betrayals of Republican supporters that have been the party's biggest failing over the years and its Achilles heel politically.As far as I'm concerned, Sowell's pretty much the Pope of conservatism, so that one will be leaving a mark.

McCain's betrayals include not only the amnesty bill but also the McCain-Feingold bill that violated the First Amendment for the illusion of "taking money out of politics." His back-door deal with Democrats on judicial nominations also pulled the rug out from under his party leaders in the Senate.The White House is not the place for a loose cannon.
Lileks has a funny review of the candidates, too.
