John McCain tells Europe: "don't worry, if I'm president, I'll only bomb Iran..." okay, maybe not literally.
And he's not quite a neocon, but he did support bombing Iraq ten years ago...
And what's with the "Three Amigos" routine with Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham? Do these guys go to the bathroom together, too? And is America ready for a Secretary of Defense with "Joementum?" I think not (and neither are the Iraqis, I suspect, who would see a truly endless war in a McCain-Lieberman presidential partnership...)
 By the way, McCain still leads (slightly) in the Gallup daily tracking poll, where Barack and Hillary have traded leads again, although his two-point leads over both Dems falls within the margin of error and is thus a statistical tie... still, a tie for McCain, who professes ignorance on the economy (and then demonstrates it by choosing L'Airbus over Boeing for a U.S. defense contract ... how many states does Boeing have plants in again?) is almost like Christmas (or Easter, given the day...)
Oh, and speaking of those Boeing locations, the company's website lists the following (I've helpfully highlighted the swing states...):
Alabama
Arizona
California
Florida
Illinois (where the company’s corporate headquarters is located)
Kansas
Missouri
Pennsylvania
Texas
Washington State
Washington D.C.
And don't think Kansas can't make it to the bolded list this year. The governor, Kathleen Sebelius, is with Barack (and as a Democrat, the fact that she's even the governor is telling...) and Barack's mother was born there.
And back to Airbus: it's now the subject of the campaign season's first anti-McCain commercial to preview what should be the Democratic argument in the fall: John McCain could give a crap about the economy and he has no clue how to rescue American jobs. His cause is war, war, and more treasury-draining, gas price-hiking, U.S. economy-crushing, crony contract-generating, "creating jobs over there so we don't have to create them over here," war.
