Purely rational. The rest of it is about "keeping options open" is pretty easy and logical. INKSNA is harder, but still rational. Kudos to Garver (I am guessing she led the policy analysis for Obama) for helping him on a tough issue, with not much time left on the congressional calendar. I now wonder what Senator McCain will do. Will we see the populist McCain who says "We are all Georgians"? or will we see the pragmatist McCain who will lead on a tough issue by supporting the Administration's (and Obama's) bipartisan position on INKSNA? Or will he just say nothing? FWIW, - Al PS -- I am also pleased to hear that Rep. Weldon is not gaining any traction for his position. Sometimes reason wins the day.
