McCain's Insurance Plan:

"If you think that 'The Market' —whatever market— always works for the best, you'll love John McCain's version of health insurance reform. It uses the tax code to shove you toward individual policies (more 'choice!') and away from comprehensive, employersupported plans." -- Jane Bryant Quinn

Voter Caging:

"Given the track record of the GOP in Florida in 2000 there is no reason to give McCain and the Republicans the benefit of the doubt this time around."

Maverick:

"'I’m just enraged that McCain calls himself a maverick,' said Terrellita Maverick, 82, a San Antonio native who proudly carries the name of a family that has been known for its progressive politics since the 1600s, when an early ancestor in Boston got into trouble with the law over his agitation for the rights of indentured servants." -- John Schwartz
