"No, it's tough these days because you've got politicians on the right, the same guys who just helped nationalize the banking system, derisively and inaccurately calling the presidential candidate on the left a socialist. That's enough to make Karl Marx harumph in his grave."

And in Slate, Timothy Noah points out how McCain is at odds with his supposed hero, Theodore Roosevelt.
