Completely transparent
This is a blatant shill by Time for McCain. They are using Allard to validate it.

1. I am so tired of hearing about McCain. The media is pushing him
way to much, I wonder if by 2008 the public will be tired of being told they should be going for the media pushed candidate and vote for some else in protest. maybe they are setting him up for the fall- ( I can only hope) McCain is not worthy of all this praise.

2. The man makes me

Hence, his spate of recent moves: The Arizonan used to vote against President Bush's tax cuts; now he's voting for them. He said during the 2000 campaign that the Rev. Jerry Falwell was an "agent of intolerance," but now he's showing respect by speaking May 13 at Falwell's college. He has softened his earlier opposition to a federal amendment banning gay marriage. He used to punt on the issue of teaching creationism, but now he endorses it. He has hired a former senior Bush operative whose name turned up in Tom DeLay's money-laundering indictment.

Falwell told C-N-N's "Late Edition" that former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is unlikely to gain evangelical support for the same reason. He said, "As conservative Christians who take the Bible seriously, we have probably irreconcilable differences on life and family."

But Falwell praised Senator John McCain as "pro-life" and "a strong conservative" whose "view on family is just where most conservative Christians' views are."

McCain has agreed to speak at Falwell's Liberty University commencement next month.

3. The press is beginning to knock him down a few pegs
McCain has the unfortunate circumstance of being on tape a lot. His comments can be dredged up and shown on TV and compared to whatever drivel he is spouting today. I think his free ride from the press is about to come to a close. He is now a big, big target for the media. (Slow process but it has begun.)

4. I saw the Falwell interview, and I just about lost it when he mentioned

Mccain's views on family being where most Christians' are. This is the same McCain that allowed his wife and family to be ridiculed in 2000 and the same McCain who was absolutely mean to his first wife.
