So Much for "Straight Talk"

John McCain now says he's "optimistic" about restoring "Detroit's supremacy in the automotive world" -- quite a change from his assertion in the recent debate that some jobs have left Michigan that aren't coming back.

Oh, and he also says he wants to "stop this bitter partisanship." I'm all for it, as long as it doesn't mean that Republicans adopt Democrat priorities -- or that Republicans like McCain attack their friends, but make nice with Teddy Kennedy on immigration or Russ Feingold on campaign finance reform.
