Robert Sargent is co-owner of a Washington State commercial printing company with operations in Seattle and Redmond. He has an Economics degree from the University of Washington and occasionally plays alto sax with the Husky alumni band. An amateur economist, investor and photographer, and fiscally conservative moderate at heart, Robert has been a "yellow-dog Democrat" since the Bush administration "began screwing up the world beyond repair". Active in local and national political races, Mr. Sargent ("Sarge") was a delegate for John Kerry and is now supporting Barack Obama. A news and politics junkie and occasional workaholic, his non-work time is spent (not in order) with his wife of 17 years and 2 kids, blogging in front of the TV, reading, cooking, spectator sports (NCAA hoops & football, MLB, NFL) taking pictures, and participating in a famously progressive Presbyterian church.

McCain would rather lose an ally in order to win a political campaign
(1 comments) I'm puzzled by this business of McCain's embarrassing Spanish media interview, where the Senator left his questioner with the distinct impression he had no idea who Spanish president Zapatero was, then later explained through a spokesman that he did of course know who they were talking about, but simply refused to agree to a meeting.
