The list is extensive, and because of his long political career getting longer and more problematic for him by the minute.

Senator Mc Cain has painted himself as a " maverick " riding the " straight talk express ". However, it is not the case. It feels more that Sen. McCain goes with the permanent changing wind of political circumstances  with no regard for his own original priciples.

It does not give, in any case, the indication of a steady character and of an ability to stay cool under pressure.

Apparently, Barack Obama has read Thomas Frank. But have Pennsylvania voters?

Amidst the hullabaloo surrounding Barack Obama, don't forget John McCain continues to run for president. Or so I've heard. Apparently, he still hasn't sealed the deal with social conservatives. Guess what? He probably never will.

You should be able to score above 85% to pass this test. Can you do it? That means you can only miss 15 questions.

1. What are the colors of our flag?
2. How many stars are there on our flag?
3. What color are the stars on our flag?
4. What do the stars on the flag mean?
5. How many stripes are there on the flag?
6. What color are the stripes?
7. What do the stripes on the flag mean?
8. How many states are there in the Union?
9. Why do we celebrate the Fourth of July?
10. What is the date of Independence day?
11. Independence from whom?

Here's a question inspired by the Washington Independent:

Does the success, so far, of John McCain mean that Republican voters aren't -- as a whole -- as angry about immigration as the rhetoric of their leaders would suggest?

This is a party that enthusiastically backed George W. Bush for president after all, and his stance isn't that different from McCain's, which is a good deal softer than what the conservatives with the loudest voices would like.
