From The Caucus:

Marc Ambinder, a political blogger, reported that Mr. McCain called his supporters and asked them to vote for Mr. Huckabee to thwart Mr. Romney.

Wow, that’s a low blow. Probably not the first time it’s ever happened, even within this campaign year, but that doesn’t make it any less classless.

I strongly dislike all—allllll—of the Republican candidates, but if I were forced to live under another Republican administration imperialism with several country-sized occupations throughout the Middle East and Asia, I had convinced myself that McCain might just be okay. Huckabee is an absolute idiot, Ron Paul is a kook, and Mitt Romney is apparently a huge jerk—a true politician in every negative sense of the word—but now this from McCain. Last week I spoke with a grad student in LA originally from Arizona and he said most Arizonans think McCain is as big a jerk as most Massachusettsians—and pretty much everyone else, apparently—think Romney is. Those Arizonans may be onto something.
