A man, a plan, a canal - Panama!

There are still a LOT of people on the Texas Republic Party's ballot for POTUS, even though John Sidney McCain III has already clinched the nomination (unless that little Panama Canal Zone birthplace issue turns out to be a problem - ha!). I guess he didn't pay attention to that checkbox on his application that said:

(x) I am a natural born Citizen.

Didn't anyone from the RNC bother comparing his Wikipedia page to Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution? This is just part of a disturbing trend I've seen with McCain in the primary: first, deny. Later, admit you "may have" done whatever you denied. Next, hem and haw.

Anyhoo, on the Texas Republic Party's ballot, there are 11 remaining on the menu:

Hugh Cort
John McCain
Duncan Hunter
Fred Thompson
Rudy Giuliani
Hoa Tran
Mitt Romney
Alan Keyes
Mike Huckabee
Ron Paul
Uncommitted

Only two (Huckabee and McCain) have a prayer of winning. After this Panama Canal Zone revelation - not to mention last week's alleged romantic interest with a lobbyist, you may be able to "stick a fork" in McCain's chances. We'll know on Tuesday night.
