FLASHPOINT for Apr 23, 2007

Monday, April 23, 2007 | 7:37 a.m.

People have very strong feelings about John McCain, who was in town last week . There are many who will never vote for the Arizona senator for president because of his loyalty to the Bush administration on the surge in Iraq. McCain knows that goes against the country's grain and yet he persists - some might conclude he really believes it because the position is so politically perilous. So it should come as no surprise that McCain's verbiage while he was here on the subject of Yucca Mountain was analogous to what he is doing on Iraq. McCain essentially said: I'm for it. I think it's the right thing to do. And then he added: President Bush is for it, and he won Nevada. Hard to argue with that.
