Kaus vs. Coulter   [Mark Krikorian]

Ann Coulter (scroll down to Sept. 10, 4:30 p.m. on the righthand column) disputes Mickey Kaus's claim that a President McCain would be more likely to get an amnesty through Congress than a President Obama. She describes it as "the difference is between a 10% chance and a 9.99999% chance," whereas I think Mickey is closer to the mark in noting that it's more like a 50% vs. 20% chance. And Coulter proves Mickey's case when she says:

So to believe that McCain is a bigger threat to America than Obama is, Kausfiles has to take the position that McCain will do what he says he won't (sign an amnesty bill), and Obama won't do what he says he will (withdraw from Iraq, start a disastrous ground war in Afghanistan and attack our allies).

That's it precisely — McCain will do what he says he won't and Obama won't do what he says he will.
