Further demonstrating his lack of presidential demeanor, John McCain slams Romney on immigration:

"Maybe I should wait a couple weeks and see if it changes," Mr. McCain said of Mr. Romney's position on immigration this week. "Maybe he can get out his small varmint gun and drive those Guatemalans off his yard."

I think McCain just implied that Mitt is under endowed in the er-r, gun department.

Alleged flip-flopping just doesn't compare with the political catastrophe of McCain-Kennedy. I am convinced that McCain just killed his presidential hopes with this bill. Hugh Hewitt's comments were well put:

Just as Bob Dole unleashed his inner grumpy old man when defeat presented itself, McCain is now doing the same. Not that it matters at this point, but if McCain wants to save his campaign from dying at the hands of the immigration issue, he’s going to have to do a lot better than hurl childish insults. He’s actually going to have to convince the Republican Party that he’s right.

Romney on the other hand hasn't put a foot wrong. The polls in Iowa show him with 30% as opposed to 18% for McCain and 17% for Giuliani. The candidate has spent a lot of time in Iowa and it shows. He's not home-free by any means, but its a much better place to be than the alternative.
