Indeed, I have long said that the unofficial slogan of the Giuliani camp is “he’ll kill the sand-n****rs and that’s good enough for me.”

We all do this occasionally, of course, but Sager on immigration is a particularly pathological case.

This has never been the case. I don't disagree that McCain is better than Giuliani, but I won't be getting my hopes up for the revival of hard-headed realism should he gain power.

But he lost me when he made Mad Norman Podhoretz an adviser. McCain at least has some realists on his team, such as Brent Scrocroft, and knowing war, he might be a little more hesitant to start another one, at least when we lack the troops and armaments to win it.
