• Today we’ll see just how infatuated John McCain is with the policies of our nation’s worst president ever, George W. Bush. If you want to learn more about the man of so many flip-flops and political lives, I’d recommend you check out NYT reporter David Kirpatrick’s interview on Fresh Air this morning. It’s a bit long at 43 minutes, but quite interesting. Get ready to hear Mr. Third Term try to distance himself from Bush, while trying to reassure the Republicans that he’ll be Bush redux.

• I really like Alyson Huber. She’s a great candidate in a district (AD-10) that’s trending our way. And now she’s got a new website.  Sweet!

• Mayor Gavin Newsom put the available to all ID card program on hold pending legal review.  The legislative proponent of the cards, soon to be Asm. Tom Ammiano, says they will still be issued in November.

• Capitol Weekly has their wrap of bills that were passed.

• Despite the fact that T. Boone Pickens sponsored the Big Tent, I still find him an abhorrent person for his Swift Boat attacks against John Kerry. The man has no principles, is a liar and Democrats who get chummy with him should remember that.  That includes you Sen. Obama. And oh yeah, NO on Prop 10! It’s just a scheme to make Pickens even more wealthy and poor public policy. The Consumer Federation has more info on Prop 10.  Vote NO!

• Anything else on your mind? McCain or otherwise?
