So the Republican candidate now supports torture. Who’s surprised?

Well, hopefully that’ll mean he’s lost more middle ground support now. Sure, he’s trying to win back the die-hard right wingers, but elections are fought and won in the middle. And all that.

With the GOP nomination all but wrapped up, I think McCain is playing the wrong hand in pandering to the hard-right constituency. How is he going to re-connect with the all-important middle in the general election?

I also think it overplays the importance of the rightwing hackery, who, as I have pointed out elsewhere, seem to be being ignored.

I think if he’s going to do this he has to do it now, early. Still, if the question comes up later will he be a flip flopper to the max or stick with his hard line? Or has Bush’s view on torture allowed a GOP candidate to be pro-torture yet still more liberal than the current president?
