Political Tidbit

1. For what it is worth, The New Republic editors and I see the same catch-22 for McCain and his finances. I still think the money will come/go elsewhere to move the campaign forward.
   
2. Can anyone else see that the "McCain was born outside the U.S." story was an academic novelty? Lawyers love this stuff, and I think I can safely say that nobody in their right mind would press to have McCain declared inelligible for POTUS for being born on U.S. soil overseas. Sure, someone might bring the claim, but the only effect would be a clarification of the Constitutional language, "natural born Citizen," to include someone born in that locale. Prediction: the court limits the decision to these facts.
