Notes From the Underground

Airport food courts are a goldmine of interesting observations about the American body politic. For example, the guy sitting next to me thinks that:

A) McCain is a closet liberal.
B) McCain is pro-choice.
C) The next four years are an opportunity for not only relalignment, but for a third party to emerge that "has values that are important to people."
D) (To his friend in Washington St) "Yeah, Washington's pretty liberal, except for Eastern Washington... it's a little smaller, more country, better values."
