McCain will use the people as his conduit to reach the democrats. You see, the people, the masses, the great free collective, when added together is the ultimate expression of common sense.
I dont know if you have noticed or not, but ever since bubba clintons first term, america has been tilting towards towards paradoxial political extremism. Im hoping that with McCain the extremism of the left/right can stop long enough to let the moderate center re-establish itself.
