Ambinder looks at John McCain’s recent policy moves and the political future of Gen. David Petraeus. A few conservatives aren’t happy with McCain’s proposal for expanded government programs to help Americans caught up in the mortgage crisis, Ambinder writes. He also notes a Time magazine story suggesting that McCain has moved away from his strong position against torture by the U.S. government. Ambinder, however, writes that both McCain and CIA Director Michael Hayden seem to both draw the line at torture. The blogger also links to an NBC interview with Petraeus, where he rules out ever running for office.
