Hopefully Sen. McCain will take first in the primary tonight. He is one of the few principled, as far as one can be principled in Washington D.C, politicians in national politics. It will end the Huckabee advance and return the Republican party to its more classical ideas and policies with a more limited government and fiscal conservatism. He is also fully against torture, a victim of it himself in Vietnam. Also, regarding McCain, his views as well as the so-called “surge”on the current occupation of Iraq may seem to be helping slowly. Violence is radically down and there is also the beginnings of some sort of an end or slow-down to sectarian conflict.In contrast, I also agree to an extant with the Clinton idea on what to do in Iraq. They involve a large withdrawal, but the keeping of bases. She would also plan to keep some troops to help the Iraqi government and to fight al Qaeda.
