(Intelligent) Design on the Presidency

I'd heard last week that John McCain is backing the presidents support for teaching "Intelligent Design" in schools. Knowing that the Achilles Heel of his GOP support seems to stem from disenchanted evangelicals (some of whom, in South Carolina, may think that he fathered a child with a black prostitute), this would seem to be an attempt to shore up support for a presidential run. Which makes him less of a renegade and more of a by-the-book politician. The same problem Hillary has, apparently. And then he's stupid to boot.

I really thought there was an upside to this, something that makes McCain look good but, alas, it is not to be.
