I find it telling that John McCain is now declaring himself against Telecom immunity. I know, I know, he is really not against it. All he wants is an apology from the telecoms and then he is for immunity. But the fact of the matter is that McCain has already voted for immunity and is on the record saying it is ‘disgraceful’ that immunity didn’t pass. So for him to come out now and say that he is against immunity is a clear sign that immunity is not polling well among the libertarian wing of the party. And with Bob Barr gearing up to run on government abuse of our privacy rights, McCain stands to lose significant support in some critical states. I think there is a good chance that Barr will pick up double digits in a few states. Idaho comes to mind.
