    A Republican in Congress with an ounce of integrity?

    Well, it may not be McCain, but I can think of one or two possibles. I grew up in Indiana while Dick Lugar's career developed, and I have enormous respect for him, although I completely disagree with his politics. And a few years ago I lived in Nebraska for a while, where Coach Tom Osborne, overly adulated of course, struck me as a very decent human. Lugar did make a run for president some years ago, and it seems a shame his campaign never caught fire.
