Arne Carlson was governor of Minnesota for much of the 90's. He is a republican of an old school -- fiscally conservative but socially liberal.
He is also very clear about this contest. Here is an interview in an important alternate media online 'paper' in Minnesota -- The Twin Cities Daily Planet.

McCain’s Strategy
By now McCain’s only possible strategy in this election is clear. Turn the discussion to bogus issues about ‘lipstick on a pig’ and false outrage at ‘disrespect’ and ‘sexism’; supplement that with out an out lies and BS: "Obama will raise our taxes", "No thanks to the Bridge to Nowhere"; "Sarah Palin knows as much about energy as anyone in America." It is tempting to despair on the state and future of our nation.

There is a story from many years ago about Amilcar Cabral, the leader of the liberation struggle in Guinea-Bissau that is still very relevant. Cabral held a meeting with American militants while visiting the UN sometime in the early 70’s. After listening for some time to the militants argue amongst themselves about the correct ‘line of march’ for liberation in the US, Cabral said "We must never forget that what people are fighting for is a better life for themselves and their families." We ‘progressives’ should remember that counsel.
