Digby: Maverick Mambo

McCain positioning himself for '08 is becoming quite an interesting pas de deux. It appears to me that he's decided to kiss up the religious right and run against K Street, using his campaign finance reform cred. And he's prepared to do battle with Grover Norquist to that end.

I suppose the first question that comes to my mind is whether this is all some sort of kabuki. Norquist is a movement darling and it doesn't make a lot of sense to pick on him personally. And, make no mistake, they are picking on him personally.
