CA has really, really scared them. I can only roll my eyes at the vast majority of this and go back to praying daily that their done is done. I remain perplexed by the misunderstanding of most people about where McCain stands on the issues. He's so very clear, and so very clearly not moderate. He is 100% in line with the platform, including creationism in schools. Because seriously, being able to recite Genesis will make our children very competitive in the global marketplace.
