I watched John McCain's speech today. I still don't like his style or his pseudo-populist politics, but he is definitely the lesser of two evils. He was flanked by his wife and Sarah Palin, and I have to give him credit for surrounding himself with good-looking women. I like two of his ideas, only one of which he mentioned today. He didn't mention that he wants to give more money to primary care physicians so they stay more involved with their patients as they see specialists. (My interest is because of the recent health problems my wife had in which she saw 10 different specialists and we got to the point where there was no overall plan. It was left to us to coordinate care, and we didn't have the necessary knowledge.) McCain also would like to stop the IRS from requiring people over 70 1/2 to withdraw money from their IRA, and thus pay income tax on the withdrawal. That would help me a lot. Under the current rules it would reduce my income enough that I would pay less for my and my wife's medicare premium. I suspect liberals wouldn't like that proposal since it would reduce current tax revenues, and it would probably result in more money being passed to my children, something liberals deplore.
