Where Have You Been the Last 2 Decades, McCain?

Johnny-Come-Lately McCain Proposes a $300 Million Prize for an advanced electric battery powered vehicle. It's 2008, McCain!!! Where have you been? Of course, he does not say exactly what this "battery pack" should be able to do to win the prize. It's just more rhetoric from the old guard to try to win independent and swing voters away from Obama. If the citizens of this country buy this bull, then we deserve all the crap that will come with it. McCain has no real interest in making the United States an energy independent nation. If he did, he would not have waited until this campaign to make such a proposal. I believe that John McCain will say whatever his "think tank" produces for him to read (poorly) from his teleprompter. Whatever the Rove-type advisors in his campaign tell him to say in order to pull ahead of Mr. Obama, John McCain will say it. Expect more surprising and "progressive sounding" proposals from Mr. McCain in coming weeks, but don't believe a word of it.
