I do believe in rational actors. And I know that Democrats and liberals can read polls, and I know that John McCain right now is the only Republican who seems like he has a credible chance to beat Obama or Hillary in November.
So, I ask: when the New York Times endorses McCain, and then Bill Clinton says, "She and John McCain are very close. They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they're afraid they'd put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other," what does that signify?
This is not me being a booster for McCain. If I were working for the Democrats, I would absolutely praise the hell out of McCain, particularly with a bunch of closed primaries up ahead. Because that WILL sap some of his support. This isn't a conspiracy, I don't think; it's the product of rational actors understanding their influence and sway.
