 == Please Stop Buchanan Edit War == 

 I believe that the early political philosophy of a candidate for vice president IS relevant to her biography, and this includes her support for Pat Buchanan. (I also think Reagan's early ties to the Democratic Party are relevant.) See longer discussion by me above.    
     
 - Before you delete, you must either claim: Pat Buchanan is an out-and-out liar. Or that political philosophy and support of presidential candidates is irrelevant to the life of a political candidate. I know making that argument is tough. (I think it's ridiculous.) But please make the argument before deleting obviously relevant information. I have included the standard McCain denial even though it is tendentiously parsed. (She didn't ""work"" for the campaign, McCain says, but she still could have supported it as Buchanan claims.) 

 So I have cited Buchanan  who was there  and the counter-example, someone who wasn't there and had no reason to know.  Throw out the McCain counter-assertion if you want, but when a Presidential candidate calls a political candidate a ""brigader"" in his campaign, it is relevant to her political life story.  "
