[FourScore]

On, SNAP!

The Democrats are graciously going to allow John McCain to put his vote where is mouth is. After - bizarrely - accusing Democrats of sexism for having the abject temerity to ask Sarah any questions, the Democrats plan to reintroduce the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act this month. Remember:

18. Any links comparing McCain's to Obama's attendance records? n/t

9. Voting?

But McCain doesn't vote any more. Last vote was early April, last I heard.

12. Even if McCain shows up and votes for it

it's a win for Obama. then they have the flip-flop charge, his past opposition, changing his mind for political advantage. it's all good for us on this one.
