"Stem-cell research and nuclear weapons are just two examples of a surprising but little-noticed aspect of the hotly contested 2008 campaign: Democrat Obama and Republican McCain actually agree on a range of issues that have divided the parties under Bush.
On immigration, faith-based social services, expanded government wiretapping, global warming and more, Obama and McCain have arrived at similar stances -- even as they have spent weeks trying to amplify the differences between them on other issues, such as health care and taxes.
Even on Iraq, a signature issue for both of them, McCain and Obama have edged toward each other.
The result is that in many areas of policy, the general direction of the next White House seems already set, even if the details are not."

Yes, McCain's still doing his "Maverick" act, just like when he made such a big deal of opposing Bush on torture, only fall right in line with a meaningless compromise which gave Bush everything he wanted. Look at his conservative voting record and you'll see the truth: a McCain administration would truly be "George W. Bush's Third Term," or, as the "straight-talker" himself put it: "On the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I've been totally in agreement and support of President Bush."
That is so gruesomely disturbing. Welcome to Act III of the puppet show.
