Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip Copycat Recipe
It's Ice Cream Week on Something Swanky and Crazy for Crust!
Click the links above to see all of our fun ice cream recipes from this week.
I've mentioned before that my husband isn't a big fan of mix-in type ice cream places (like Coldstone). He'll eat there if I make him go (I mean, it is ice cream, after all). But then, as we're driving past the Baskin Robbins on our way home, he'll heave a not-so-subtle sigh and gaze longingly at the rear-view mirror.
I determined that our difference in opinion over ice cream shops is really the difference between liking hard or soft ice cream. He prefers hard scooped, I'd rather have something more along the lines of ice cream soup. I dunno… he's probably in the majority there. But I can't help it– I love soft, mushy ice cream full of big candy chunks and hot fudge.
However, he has totally turned me on to Baskin Robbins' Chocolate Chip and Mint Chocolate Chip ice creams.
Because….. ohemgee.
I am so in love with the way their "chocolate chips" aren't really chocolate chips at all. Instead, it's full of a thin pieces of brittle chocolate that ribbon throughout the ice cream. And it takes chocolate chip ice cream to an amazing new level.
Just like the Stracciatella I mentioned last week, Baskin Robbins-style chocolate chip ice cream is achieved in the same way– by pouring chocolate (or in this case, Homemade Magic Shell) into the ice cream during the last 5 minutes of churning.
This Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is SO easy and so yummy. Mint is one of my husband's favorite ice cream flavors, but you could easily make this regular old chocolate chip ice cream by simply omitting the peppermint extract!
I use this Cuisinart ICE-21 Ice Cream Maker to make churned ice cream, and far I've loved it. It's pretty inexpensive (only $49!), easy to use, and makes delicious ice cream in about 20-30 minutes. I would highly recommend it if you're looking for a simple, day-to-day use ice cream machine.
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
- 2 cups half and half
- optional green food coloring
- 1 1/2 cups Magic Shell
- In a large bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, half and half, and a few drops of green food coloring (if desired). Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- According to machine's instructions, pour into ice cream maker. Allow to churn for 20-30 minutes, until ice cream starts to look slightly firm.
- Slowly drizzle the magic shell into the machine and allow to churn for 5 more minutes (you may need to use a rubber spatula to help move along any big chunks that might form. I had a few, but they weren't a big deal, I probably could have left them alone and it would have been fine).
- Scrape ice cream into a freezer safe container and allow to freeze until it reaches desired firmness (I photographed after 2 hours in the freezer... but I ate a bowlful right out of the machine!).

Holy cow girl! I need to make this – Jordan is going to think it's the best thing ever. I don't even know if I should show her this post or she'll be making me make it tonight! :)
Seriously. Best ice cream for #icecreamweek. And soup – that's me too!
Mint Chip ice cream from Baskin Robbins is my all-time favorite ice cream! I love that you can make this recipe and churn it within an hour versus having to wait like custard base ice creams. Can't wait to try this!! YUM!
i can never go past a good mint choc chip ice-cream.. definitely craving a scoop now! love it!
Ice cream week has been amazing and keeps getting better and better all the time! Mint choc chip ice cream is a family favorite in this house and I know this would be an instant hit! Pinned!
I bet this is to-die-for! Sounds awesome!
ohemgee is right!! This was my favorite BR flavor growing up! Can't wait to make it!
My life is now complete. This is AWESOME.
I love Baskin Robbins mint chip, and never would have thought to mix magic shell right into the ice cream. you are one clever gal
I am a sucker for all thing mint chip!
My childhood would not exist without this BR flavor! I never knew about their last-minute pouring of chocolate. Wow!
And this recipe looks just right!
I love chocolate mint ice cream. I'd never thought about using magic shell in the ice cream maker. I worry about it getting stuck in barrel. Could you freeze the magic shell in a plastic container and then chop it up quickly and mix it in at the end just before transferring the ice cream to the freezer? Maybe it wouldn't stick to the sides. This is a favorite flavor at our house and I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Um… Genius! That's the best ice cream trick ever! Thanks :)
oh how cool-I love that the Baskin Robbins style mint choc chip has those slivers of chocolate! This is my fiance's fave flavor so I should whip him up some of this!
Oh I just love mint and chocolate! This ice cream looks amazing – will have to try!
I've never had their mint chocolate chip but I love how it looks. Chocolate in every bite yum!
I'm totally with your husband: firmly scooped ice cream is the bomb. My favourite was totally Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate chip because of the crunchy little chocolate bits. *sigh* I wish it were dairy-free. Looks delicious Ashton!

The Hoia Baciu Forest in Romania is also known as the worlds most haunted forest. There are several sagas and legends surrounding this place. The Romanian forest got its name from an event which happened in the late 70's. A farmer with a big flock of sheep mysteriously disappeared in the forest nowhere to be found. A lot of people living close to the forest are to afraid to enter it. It's very common for the few brave people that do enter the forest, to get headaches, migraine and other strange illnesses. It's also very common among people that do enter the forest to always have the feeling that they are being watched.
Would you enter the forest?
How do you react when you read about places like this. Do you feel scared never wanting to go there, or do you feel some kind of excitement about the forest? We're all different, but something that most of us share is that the topic is quite interesting. We want to know more about it even though it scares us a bit.
Let me know down below if you'd like to enter the forest if you were invited. Maybe you have a hard time to make up your mind. If that's the case, take a closer look at this video before you decide.
*Disclaimer: This vide is a quite scary one.
What did you think about the clip? Would you enter the forest despite all the scary stories about the haunted Romanian forest. Send us an message and tell us what you think!

It's probably the blogger variant of Murphy's Law, but the
most interesting topics often bubble up whenever I take time off. The last few weeks were no exception as
several new polls were released on the 2008 primary contests, particularly in Iowa and New
Hampshire. As
often happens this early in the process, some produced contradictory results,
especially in Iowa.
The most puzzling - as noted by our
friend Mickey Kaus - involves the performance of Hillary Clinton and Barack
Obama in two polls of likely Democratic caucus goers conducted in Iowa in late December by
Research2000 and the American Research Group (ARG). Both showed John Edwards with roughly the
same support (20-22%). ARG
Research 2000
showed Clinton leading with 31% and Obama
running distant forth (at 10%) behind outgoing Iowa governor Tom Vilsack (17%). Research 2000
ARG showed Obama and Edwards tied for first
(22%), with Clinton
running forth (10%) behind Vilsack (17%).
So...Hillary Clinton is either their clear front runner in Iowa (with 31%) or running
a distant fourth (with 10%).
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the pollster's nightmare: The Iowa Caucuses.
I have written before about the challenge of polling the caucuses
before and will certainly do so again, but the numbers behind the challenge
remain the same. Here is the way I put
it, when the Des Moines Register
released its first 2008 caucus poll last June:
The big challenge for polling this
contest, of course, is that turnout for the Democratic caucuses is typically a
small percentage of eligible voters. Iowa had roughly 2.2 million voting eligible adults in
2004, of whom (as of last month) approximately 1.9 million are considered "active"
registered voters by the Iowa Secretary of State. But only 124,331
participated in the 2004 Democratic Caucuses for President (according to the
subscription only Hotline).
That number amounts to roughly 6% of all registered voters, so selecting
"likely caucus goers" is no easy task.
When I first saw the conflicting results, I assumed
something obvious about the survey design or field dates might explain the
difference. For example, some pollsters
sample likely caucus-goers by calling a random digit dial (RDD) sample of all
telephone households and will then screen for likely voters. Some will sample from the lists of registered
voters (with many unlisted numbers missing) and select using a combination of
screening and various "vote history" criteria, including participation in past
caucuses. In past elections, Iowa caucus surveys
drawn exclusively from lists of past caucus-goers have differed from those
based on RDD methods.
I spoke earlier today to both Dick Bennett of ARG and Del Ali
of Research 2000, and in this case the sample procedures and field dates were
more similar than different:
- Research 2000 conducted a survey among 400 Democratic "caucus goers" December 18 through December 20. They started with a random digit dial (RDD) sample of Iowa households and screened for those who (a) say they frequently vote in statewide general election[s] and (b) report having participated in the 2004 Democratic caucuses.
- The American Research Group conducted a survey among 600 "likely Democratic caucus goers" between December 19 and December 23. They too started with a random digit dial (RDD) sample of Iowa households and screened for those who were (a) registered vote as either Democrats or with no party affiliation who also said they (b) "definitely plan to participate in the 2008 Democratic presidential caucus" (those screened out those who said they "might" participate or who "probably will not").
The field dates overlap, so timing seems unlikely to explain
much of the difference, particularly if the theory is that Obama's support has
been rising of late. Keep in mind that
the ARG poll, which finished later, showed Obama doing worse.
The biggest difference that we are aware of is that the Research2000
screens were based on self-reported past
participation, while ARG screens rely on a question of prospective intent to participate.
We can debate the relative merits
of each approach (and no doubt will in the coming months), but it seems
unlikely that this particular difference produced a 21-point shift in support
for Hillary Clinton.**
Of course, it may be that one approach was significantly
"tighter" than the other. That is, did
one capture a much narrower slice of Iowa
voters than the other? Unfortunately,
neither pollster has released data on how many otherwise qualified respondents
they screened out in order to select their final sample (as the Des Moines
Register did last June).
It is also important to focus on the questions asked. Both pollsters asked respondents to choose
from a list of eleven potential candidates, both "rotated" (or randomized) the
order of names as read by interviewers and both reported relatively few in the completely
undecided category (11% for Research 2000 and 8% for ARG). But the candidate listings were not
identical. ARG included the names of two
potential candidates -- Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd and former Alaska
Senator Mike Gravel - that Research 2000 omitted. Likewise, Research 2000 included Al Gore and
Evan Bayh, while ARG did not. Of these,
Gore had the most support (7%), Dodd had 2% and the rest just 1%. Given the numbers involved, it is hard to see
how these minor differences contributed much to the Clinton-Obama discrepancy.
All of which leaves me scratching my head, except to say
this: Whenever very small differences in
methodology make for huge differences in results, it suggests that voters are
not yet engaged in the race enough to have strong allegiances. Put another way, while each poll may have a
candidate running in front, in Iowa
at least, there is not yet a true "front runner."
**UPDATE: Ok, make that coming hours. Mickey Kaus considers the prospective / retrospective difference in the survey screens a more likely explanation than I did:
There's a big difference between 1) asking voters if they "definitely plan" to go to the caucuses, and 2) asking voters if they actually participated in the 2004 caucuses. Lots of people say they "plan" to attend. That's normal! But those who have attended are the sort of pathetically unrepresentative hard core activists ...sorry, committed citizens who make up the tiny sliver (6%) of Iowa voters who actually show up and choose the winner: ... In this case, the merely aspirational caucusgoers pick Clinton, while the hard core goes for Obama--a result consistent with the idea that Obama is capturing those who think a lot about politics, while those who don't think as much about politics haven't yet been hit by the wave.
That's a plausible theory, particularly if the retrospective caucus participation question successfully identified actual past caucus goers. Retrospective vote questions typically over-report past voting behavior, but in this case the Research 2000 question may have produced an appropriately tighter screen. Of course, without the ability to compare the relative incidence of each survey, we are just speculating.
In 1988, I worked for Paul Maslin, the pollster for Democratic Senator Paul Simon. Simon always did better on the samples we drew from lists of actual past caucus-goers, while Congressman Dick Gephardt did consistently better when when we included registered voters that had not participated in the previous caucuses in 1984. Gephardt also did consistently better on the RDD surveys in the public domain. As I recall, those differences persisted through the final round of polling, though they probably narrowed a bit toward the end. Of course, the challenge is that every election year, the caucuses attract large numbers of voters who did not participate in the prior election cycle. And true junkies will remember that Gephardt ultimately won the Caucuses, although as I recall, the actual result fell somewhere between the two methodologies.

III. John McCain: The Zeal of the Convert
Given the length and public nature of John McCain's career on the national stage, I won't go here through his record in the depth that I explored those of Gov. Palin and Sen. Obama. But I will lay out a number of examples that show the sharp contrast between McCain's approach to situations calling for integrity and Barack Obama's.
Senator McCain's former, false friends in the media used to paint him as some sort of secular saint, a man who infused politics with a unique brand of noblity that elevated the grubby business of Washington to a higher plane of bipartisanship, reform and self-sacrifice. St. John the McCain was always a myth; we should put not our faith in politicians, and nobody gets as far as McCain has in national politics wholly unsullied by politics and all that comes with it. But if McCain the saint is a myth, McCain the public servant is nonetheless an admirable figure who has passed many tests of fire (in some cases, literally). McCain looks more rather than less impressive when we view him through the justifiably jaded eye that should be cast on any politician.
McCain has been, in his words "an imperfect servant" of this country; I will not try to convince you otherwise, and will deal up front with the two major and deserved blots on his reputation. I will not try to convince you that over 26 years in politics he's been above consorting with lobbyists, accepting endorsements from unsavory people, pandering to constituencies, or changing positions when it suits his needs. But however you define the negative features of "politics as usual," we expect our Presidents to have that quality that allows them to rise above it - perhaps not every day on every issue, but often enough, and forcefully enough, and in spite of enough slings and arrows that we can have confidence that they can be trusted to stand up for us even when it's hard to do so, even at great cost.
There is no question that McCain has shown, over and over and over again, his ability to do just that. He's publicly called out waste and corruption, even in his own party. He's taken on powerful vested interests on the Left and the Right - not just wealthy and well-connected ones but grassroots interests as well. McCain may not fight every battle that needs to be fought, but he will always be fighting, and he will not be afraid to take on targets that can hit him back.A. Honor
(1) McCain The Faithful Warrior
John McCain is a professional soldier by birth, upbringing and career. We have had war-hero candidates in several recent elections - George H.W. Bush, John Kerry, Bob Dole - but these men were fundamentally citizen soldiers, men who left behind the world they grew up in to meet their country's call of duty. They were men who were asked to be heroes and discovered that they had it in them. John McCain was raised to be a hero.
That doesn't make the professional soldier more or less noble than the citizen soldier; for most of our nation's history, we have depended upon the ability to meld professional warfighters with citizen soldiers to create an armed force that greater than the sum of its parts. It just means that we have to remember that McCain's internal code of conduct is much more expressly military - a code that places honor, the keeping of one's word and one's loyalty to country and comrades above all else and against all perils.
I won't recount here in any detail the most famous of all McCain stories, his refusal to accept early release as a POW in Vietnam, at the cost of solitary confinement and torture that left him with permanent injuries. But recall that what McCain was doing in that episode was all about the POWs' code of conduct and code of honor. McCain saw the other men around him suffer greatly for that code of honor, and he refused to betray them by betraying it. Indeed, when McCain speaks even to this day about the episode in which he finally broke one night under torture and signed a false confession, you can hear in his voice that he has never forgiven himself even for that moment of wholly understandable weakness. But when morning came, he still refused to go home. He established then and there that when McCain perceives that an issue of his honor is at stake, he will not yield no matter what he must suffer.
(2) McCain The Unfaithful Husband
McCain's code of honor does not, unfortunately, extend to every aspect of his life; most famously, he failed at what most of us regard as the most solemn vow a man can take. His first marriage collapsed in the late 1970s due principally to McCain's serial infidelity to his first wife, who like McCain had suffered serious injuries during his imprisonment, in her case in a car accident. Under all the circumstances - their long time apart, the hardships of war, the burdens of their physical disabilities - we may find it understandable that the marriage fell apart; but that doesn't in any way justify McCain in cheating on his wife and eventually leaving her to marry a younger, healthier, wealthier woman.
It's beyond the time and space I have available here to fully explore the relevance to a public official's career of purely private sins such as marital infidelity. I would briefly digress to suggest the following points, and apply them to McCain:
First, character does matter, and matters more for executives than for legislators due to the nature of the job and the broad discretion executives enjoy. Elections are never just about "the issues," given the broad range of unforeseen circumstances that can arise and given the serious questions voters must always ask about whether a candidate will keep his or her promises on the issues. That's why I'm writing this series, after all. I never bought the argument made by the Democrats throughout the 1990s that character is wholly irrelevant.
Second, private character is not irrelevant. We know that private problems can become public ones if, for example, a philanderer has an affair with, or sexually harrasses, a subordinate employee (Clinton, Foley), gets busted for hiring prostitutes or soliciting sex (Spitzer, Craig), puts unqualified lovers on the public payroll (McGreevey) or has to negotiate or regulate public business with an ex-mistress (Corzine, Frank). While it is true that men will do things for sex they might not do for other temptations, the weakness of character still tells us something about the man, and I am not at all convinced that strength of character can be so subdivided as to make private failings irrelevant to predicting public behavior. (This is aside from issues of deceit and recklessness involved when a public official dares the press to catch him when he knows he's guilty (Hart), chases skirts after he has been caught before (Clinton), engages in illegal activities to cover up an affair (Clinton) or lies directly to the public, to his supporters and to his closest aides (Clinton, Edwards)). Finally, a man with private sins may feel unduly and improperly constrained by his own glass house, and may let the fear of a hypocrisy charge frighten him away from standing up for virtue when it is appropriate or necessary to do so.
Third, however, character is not a series of yes/no questions. It is the test of the whole man, and the test of a lifetime. We understand that all our leaders have sins. Some are more serious than others (surely, marital infidelity is one of those), and some are more recent and current than others, but we are well-advised to judge the whole man, the whole record. A 24-year-old DUI conviction did so much damage to George W. Bush in the week before the 2000 election because, relatively speaking, he did not have a long, countervailing record of positive proof of his character when he ran for president. The same is true of rookie candidates like Obama and Edwards and Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin - having less by which to judge them, each incident and each failing grows larger in proportion. And a character flaw becomes more serious when it reinforces negative impressions about a candidate's public career. For conservatives, at least, Bill Clinton's serial infidelity and pervasive dishonesty about the matter was troublesome because it was so completely consistent with the public Clinton.
McCain comes to us with an exceptionally long public career and many, many incidents that have called upon him to show us his character and what he has made of. He has passed many tests, sometimes tests few living men have been exposed to. He has taken many stands. He is, in short, the ultimate known quantity; he is not going to be anyone in office but the John McCain we already know so well. Nor is there any real fear that McCain will get himself into similar messes in office - this is 30 years ago, and he's been happily and steadily married ever since. He is, frankly, 72 years old; he's not 42 anymore.
Do we see patterns of McCain's infidelity in his public life? Well, I suppose you could argue that we have, in the sense that he's been less than faithful to the Republican party over the years. As you can see from the examples I cite below, McCain obviously does not see loyalty to political ideas or institutions as covered by his code of honor, and so he can be tempted away from his loyalty to them. But on the fundamental question of whether the government should serve the general public interest or more narrow interests - even when those interests are the interests of large or influential groups - and on those issues, such as national security, that he plainly regards as matters of honor, McCain's military code of honor does, in fact, compel him to take stand after stand by the light of his conscience even when it's not obviously in his own best interests. We can trust him to do the same in office because we have been watching him do it all these years.
B. The Keating Five
I referred previously to Sarah Palin as an unlikely source for political reform, and in his own way, so is John McCain. Befitting his background, McCain came to Congress as a defense hawk who sought a place on the key national security committees; nothing in his background suggested a guy who would be a leading voice on domestic policy. But you can't really tell the story of John McCain's career as a Washington gadfly of reform without its origins in the "Keating Five" scandal of the late 1980s (McCain's so old even his scandals are ancient). While some of McCain's reformist streak predates the scandal, virtually every account of his career notes that having his honor called into question was the deepest cut McCain could possibly suffer, and one that motivated many of his later forays into cleaning up the ethical morass of Washington as a form of personal redemption.
Here's how the Arizona Republic describes the genesis of the scandal:
It all started in March 1987. Charles H Keating Jr., the flamboyant developer and anti-porn crusader, needed help. The government was poised to seize Lincoln Savings and Loan, a freewheeling subsidiary of Keating's American Continental Corp.As federal auditors examined Lincoln, Keating was not content to wait and hope for the best. He had spread a lot of money around Washington, and it was time to call in his chits.One of his first stops was Sen. Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz.The state's senior senator was one of Keating's most loyal friends in Congress, and for good reason. Keating had given thousands of dollars to DeConcini's campaigns. At one point, DeConcini even pushed Keating for ambassador to the Bahamas, where Keating owned a luxurious vacation home.Now Keating had a job for DeConcini. He wanted him to organize a meeting with regulators to deliver a message: Get off Lincoln's back. Eventually, DeConcini would set up a meeting with five senators and the regulators. One of them was McCain.
Despite his history with Keating, McCain was hesitant about intervening. At that point, he had been in the Senate only three months. DeConcini wanted McCain to fly to San Francisco with him and talk to the regulators. McCain refused.Keating would not be dissuaded.On March 24 at 9:30 a.m., Keating went to DeConcini's office and asked him if the meeting with the regulators was on. DeConcini told Keating that McCain was nervous."McCain's a wimp," Keating replied... "We'll go talk to him."Keating had other business on Capitol Hill and did not reach McCain's office until 1:30. A DeConcini staffer already had told McCain about the "wimp" insult.When he arrived, Keating presented McCain with a laundry list of demands for the regulators.McCain told Keating that he would attend the meeting and find out whether Keating was getting treated fairly but that was all.The first meeting, on April 2, 1987, in DeConcini's office, included Ed Gray, chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, as well as four senators: DeConcini, McCain, Alan Cranston, D-Calif., and John Glenn, D-Ohio.(Years later, McCain recalled that DeConcini started the meeting with a reference to "our friend at Lincoln." McCain characterized it as "an unfortunate choice of words, which Gray would remember and repeat publicly many times.")For Keating, the meeting was a bust. Gray told the senators that as head of the loan board, he worried about the big picture. He didn't have any specific information about Lincoln. Bank regulators in San Francisco would be versed in that, not him. Gray offered to set up a meeting between the senators and the San Francisco regulators.The second meeting was April 9. The same four senators attended, along with Sen. Don Riegle, D-Mich. Also at the meeting were William Black, then deputy director of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp., James Cirona, president of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, and Michael Patriarca, director of agency functions at the FSLIC.In an interview with The Republic, Black said the meeting was a show of force by Keating, who wanted the senators to pressure the regulators into dropping their case against Lincoln. The thrift was in trouble for violating "direct investment" rules, which prohibited S&Ls from taking large ownership positions in various ventures."The Senate is a really small club, like the cliche goes," Black said. "And you really did have one-twentieth of the Senate in one room, called by one guy, who was the biggest crook in the S&L debacle."Black said the senators could have accomplished their goal "if they had simply had us show up and see this incredible room and said, 'Hi. Charles Keating asked us to meet with you. 'Bye.'"McCain previously had refused DeConcini's request to meet with the Lincoln auditors themselves. In Worth the Fighting For, McCain wrote that he remained "a little troubled" at the prospect, "but since the chairman of the bank board didn't seem to have a problem with the idea, maybe a discussion with the regulators wouldn't be as problematic as I had earlier thought."
After the meeting, McCain was done with Keating."Again, I was troubled by the appearance of the meeting," McCain said later. "I stated I didn't want any special favors from them. I only wanted them (Lincoln Savings) to be fairly treated."Black doesn't completely buy that argument. If McCain was concerned about Keating asking him to do things that were improper, why go to either meeting at all?Black said McCain probably went because Keating was close to being the political godfather of Arizona and McCain still had plenty of ambition."Keating was incredibly powerful," Black said. "And incredibly useful."McCain's reservations aside, Keating accomplished his goal. He had bought some time, though the price was very high.
You can read the whole thing for an accounting of McCain's longstanding relationship (financial and political) with Keating and the blow-by-blow of the meeting. The five Senators - four Democrats, including John Glenn, last seen stumping for Obama, and McCain - got reprimanded by the Senate Ethics Committee under the Democrat-controlled Senate in 1990:
In the end, McCain received only a mild rebuke from the Ethics Committee for exercising "poor judgment" for intervening with the federal regulators on behalf of Keating. Still, he felt tarred by the affair."The appearance of it was wrong," McCain said. "It's a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do."McCain noted that Bennett, the independent counsel, recommended that McCain and Glenn be dropped from the investigation."For the first time in history, the Ethics Committee overruled the recommendation of the independent counsel," McCain said.
McCain owns up to his mistake this way:"I was judged eventually, after three years, of using, quote, poor judgment, and I agree with that assessment."
As Adam Clymer of the New York Times noted in 1995, partisan politics was behind even the tepid reprimand McCain received:
During the Keating Five scandal, committee Democrats resisted dropping the case against John McCain, the Arizona Republican, because that would have left only Democrats accused of improper dealings with Charles Keating, the savings and loan executive.
Basically, McCain's self-assessment is correct: like Glenn, he exercised terrible judgment in associating his good name with Keating, benefitting Keating in his dealings with the regulators. Neither McCain nor Glenn was as culpable in the scandal as DeConcini, Cranston or Riegle - fundamentally, all they really did was show their faces at a meeting - but they were wrong to do even that much. It's a lesson McCain shouldn't have had to learn, but learn he did.
C. The Maverick
We've now assembled the essential picture of John McCain as he stood nearly two decades ago, as a first-term Senator in his mid-50s: war hero who suffered greatly for his code of honor in Hanoi; philanderer who wrecked his first marriage, trying to make better on the second try; legislator tarred by scandal for his association with a crook and burning with a desire to reclaim his reputation for honor. I will freely admit that if McCain had run for President in 1992, at the stage of his career that Obama is at now, he would have had difficulty extricating proof of his honor and integrity from the wreckage of the Keating Five, and would have lacked much in the way of a record. But McCain has walked many miles since then to earn our trust; let us review the portrait that emerges:
(1) Party Disloyalty
The list of issues on which McCain has fought powerful interests inside and outside his own party is too long to recount here. Let us start with McCain the un-party man. For example, Gamecock has rounded up a fairly comprehensive list of McCain's deviations from conservative orthodoxy, including national security issues like interrogation policy. Jonathan Chait has described McCain's apostasies during Bush's first term:
It is no exaggeration to say that, during this crucial period, McCain was the most effective advocate of the Democratic agenda in Washington. In health care, McCain co-sponsored, with John Edwards and Ted Kennedy, a patients' bill of rights. He joined Chuck Schumer to sponsor one bill allowing the re-importation of prescription drugs and another permitting wider sale of generic alternatives. All these measures were fiercely contested by the health care industry and, consequently, by Bush and the GOP leadership. On the environment, he sponsored with John Kerry a bill raising automobile fuel-efficiency standards and another bill with Joe Lieberman imposing a cap-and-trade regime on carbon emissions. He was also one of six Republicans to vote against drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.McCain teamed with Carl Levin on bills closing down tax shelters, forbidding accounting firms from selling products to the firms they audited, and requiring businesses that gave out stock options as compensation to reveal the cost to their stockholders. These measures were bitterly opposed by big business and faced opposition not only from virtually the whole of the GOP but even from many Democrats as well.McCain voted against the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts. He co-sponsored bills to close the gun-show loophole, expand AmeriCorps, and federalize airport security. All these things set him against nearly the entire Republican Party.
As Chait recognizes, McCain's stands on these issues is not really about ideology; it's McCain going his own idiosyncratic way. Some of these issues, of course, smell to conservatives like media or populist grandstanding. And as I stressed with Obama, I don't view adherence to principle or party loyalty as bad things, nor do I see deviation from the party line as necessarily good. I'd prefer that the GOP was running a principled conservative. But when we fill in the broader picture of McCain's tilts at Washington windmills, a clearer focus emerges, one that is about more than just what is passingly popular or fashionable. The picture that shows that no exterior influence can wholly explain John McCain's stubborn independence. McCain may tack at times with the wind, but he very frequently steers by his own stars.
(2) Scourge of the Hill
Let's touch on a few more that illustrate specifically my point about McCain's independence from powerful forces in all camps:
-Campaign finance reform, of course, is McCain's most famous signature domestic issue. I've never agreed with McCain's policy precriptions on this issue, nor have most conservatives. But nobody questions the sincerity of his crusading spirit on the issue, nor the price he has paid for it. It's not just that McCain has made lifelong enemies of principled conservative commentators like George Will; he also burned his bridges with the leadership of activist groups like the National Right to Life Committee and the NRA who chafed at the way his restrictions on issue ads interfered with their ability to promote their positions during elections. As a result, McCain to this day faces reactions ranging from indifference to seething opposition among the grassroots leadership on the Right that cuts across issues and blocs. (Indeed, it is quite possible that without Sarah Palin on the GOP ticket and Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee, the NRA would never have endorsed McCain).
-Then there's McCain's years-long battle against pork barrel spending projects, a battle that Tom Coburn has since joined but on which McCain for years led alone. The AP describes the origins:
McCain's crusade started with the line-item veto.McCain, newly elected to the Senate, jumped aboard an effort by Republican fiscal conservatives to pass a line-item veto giving the president authority to cancel specific provisions - namely, wasteful dollars - without vetoing an entire bill.A history buff, McCain asked his staff to bone up on the time-honored Washington tradition of tucking money into spending bills for pet projects back home, without any government review of whether the projects are needed. Aides learned the practice, known as earmarking, went back many decades, beginning with boat locks along the country's rivers and lighthouses dotting the coasts.He also had aides ferret out current-day earmarks, and when he saw the list, McCain was incredulous. He strode to the floor of the Senate to read the list into the Congressional Record, much to the annoyance of colleagues unused to public scrutiny of their pet projects.Thus began "the scrub," McCain's effort to expose every earmark in every spending bill. They weren't easy to find; earmarks often are added late at night, when the Senate is still in session but when most lawmakers have gone home. McCain stationed aides on the floor to inspect each amendment as it was offered.In the Senate, an institution where comity and collegiality rule, McCain was not winning popularity contests. His bull-in-a-china-shop tactics ignited a feud with the Appropriations Committee members responsible for most of the earmarks.The feud simmers to this day. Earlier this year, the senior Republican on the panel, Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran, endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney over McCain. Cochran told The Boston Globe the thought of McCain as president "sends a cold chill down my spine."
As the AP piece notes, and as we have seen on the trail, McCain still has to answer tough questions about his opposition to this or that local project. But he stands his ground - it's who he is.
-McCain opposed President Bush, the GOP Congressional leadership, the pharmaceutical companies and the AARP in opposing the expansion of Medicare to cover prescription drugs, something George Bush and Al Gore had campaigned on in 2000 and which was regarded as universally popular. McCain thought it was fiscally irresponsible, and he was right.
-McCain has battled for years against subsidies and trade barriers that use taxpayer funds to artifically prop up the price of corn ethanol despite serious questions about whether ethanol is a boondoggle as an alternative fuel. There's a reason why ethanol subsidies have such a lock on the political process: would-be presidential candidates must swear fealty to the ethanol lobby if they hope to compete in the crucial Iowa caucuses. McCain, nearly alone among recent presidential candidates (I believe Bill Bradley was an exception) refused to bend on the issue, as a result of which he skipped Iowa in the 2000 primaries, finished third there in 2008, and appears well behind ethanol-backing Barack Obama in this year's general election in Iowa. Remember: ethanol isn't just a moneyed lobby, it's also a popular cause in Iowa. But in this case the people are wrong, and McCain's not afraid to tell them that.
-McCain has likewise stubbornly supported free trade, proudly declaring himself a free trader in this year's debates. As with immigration and his foreign policy views, trade is a core part of McCain's internationalist worldview. He's been unfraid to campaign for it even in NAFTA-hating sectors of Ohio. It's who McCain is.
-As he has noted in a few of the debates, he opposed President Reagan on the use of Marines as peacekeepers in Beruit in 1983, a deployment Reagan later regarded as the worst mistake of his presidency. (Even efforts to spin this as somehow not the case note that "What McCain voted against was a measure to invoke the War Powers Act and to authorize the deployment of U.S. Marines in Lebanon for an additional 18 months. The measure passed 270-161, with 26 other Republicans (including McCain) and 134 Democrats voting against it."). *
-While many of McCain's positions over the years have been popular with the press, in 1999 he cast just about the most unpopular vote, from the media's perspective, in recent Washington history, to remove the President of the United States from office. As he explained at the time, with a nod to the inevitable hypocrisy charge given McCain's own marital history as well as the fact that he would be voting to wound a man who would still be in the White House, sitting atop high approval ratings, for the remaining year and a half of his term (while his primary opponent, George W. Bush, maintained studious silence on the issue), McCain, typically, viewed the vote as a matter of honor:
All of my life, I have been instructed never to swear an oath to my country in vain. In my former profession, those who violated their sworn oath were punished severely and considered outcasts from our society. I do not hold the President to the same standard that I hold military officers to. I hold him to a higher standard. Although I may admit to failures in my private life, I have at all times, and to the best of my ability, kept faith with every oath I have ever sworn to this country. I have known some men who kept that faith at the cost of their lives.I cannot--not in deference to public opinion, or for political considerations, or for the sake of comity and friendship--I cannot agree to expect less from the President.Most officers of my acquaintance would have resigned their commission had they been discovered violating their oath. The President did not choose that course of action. He has left it to the Senate to determine his fate. And the Senate, as we all know, is going to acquit the President. As much as I would like to, I cannot join in his acquittal.
-McCain then turned around and took a position that was unpopular with his party - to support President Clinton's pursuit of a war in Bosnia following on ths heels of his acquittal - but also angered the White House by calling for more ground troops and for formal Congressional approval of the war. McCain's resolution was shot down by a joint effort of Senate leaders Trent Lott and Tom Daschle. (McCain took a similar middle course on the recent FISA debate, angering the Bush White House by arguing that the issue should be sent to Congress but also angering opponents of the Bush surveillance policy by supporting the effort to enshrine it in law).
-McCain's battles with defense contractors are legendary, including his fight to impose fixed-price contracts and his famous showdown with Boeing:
At stake is a $21 billion contract, of which Boeing, as prime contractor, gets the lion's share. The FCS program is billed by the Pentagon as an "overwhelmingly lethal" weapons system integrating battlefield computers into one vast communications network. It supports 550 workers at Boeing's Kent site and, according to the company, puts roughly $175 million into Washington state's economy each year. McCain, R-Ariz., has complained that the contract was not structured according to standard procurement procedures, an allegation similar to the one that began the investigation of the tanker deal. The contract does not provide for enough oversight and scrutiny, and gives the companies too much leeway on pricing, he said. The hearing was packed with defense contractors, their lobbyists and public-relations executives, who were watching it carefully for several reasons. This session was McCain's first hearing as chairman of the powerful Airland Subcommittee of the Armed Services Committee; he has vowed to redo the mammoth military-procurement process, and this was his first step.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, McCain has had trouble attracting support from defense contractors. * McCain's battles with defense contractors are a sign of his view, shared by Gov. Palin, that being pro-business doesn't have to mean accepting longstanding deference to the interests of particular businesses.
-Wall Street: Of course, we know about McCain's calls for reform of lobbying powerhouses Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, even during times when they were employing as a lobbyist Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager in 2000 and still a major figure in McCain's current campaign. But McCain also has a fairly long record of dissenting from his party by supporting regulation of the private sector of the financial industry. This, again, is not a stand I agree with, but it is yet another sign of how McCain marches to the beat of his own drum.
-Vietnam: McCain's integrity is also shown by his capacity for forgiveness. In 1996, in conjunction with the Clinton Administration, McCain joined across the aisle with John Kerry to work on normalizing relationships with the regime in Vietnam that tortured him. This wasn't always popular work; families of long-missing POWs often didn't appreciate the conclusions of McCain's and Kerry's work on the POW-MIA issue. But McCain answered the call to move forward rather than dwell on entirely justified grievances.
(3) Taking Names
I referred to this in the last installment - McCain hasn't just been willing to fight for reform, he's been willing to name names and make a lot of enemies to do it. McCain frequently embarrassed individual fellow Senators with his attacks on pork projects, including the now-famous "Bridge to Nowhere." McCain also chaired hearings on the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, despite the damage it did to the GOP's reputation on Capitol Hill. (Here's Salon in 2005 describing one such session). (Tom DeLay still hasn't forgiven him). *
(4) Iraq and Immigration
If you want an illustration of how John McCain's integrity played into his presidential campaign, even at great political risk, look at Iraq and immigration. McCain entered the race in 2007 as the consensus front-runner or co-front-runner for the nomination - the next guy in line, with a national reputation and good standing in the polls. By the late summer of 2007, his campaign was basically dead in the water. His public approval ratings tell the tale:
McCain's crash in 2007 was not the result of the rise of any one opponent, or any new scandal. It was, principally, driven by his decision to lead the fight in the Senate for comprehensive immigration reform, a hugely controversial piece of bipartisan legislation (his co-sponsor was the hated Ted Kennedy) that was massively unpopular with the Republican base. Grassroots activists were up in arms, and pundits branded McCain "McAmnesty." It was practically a textbook example of how to destroy a primary campaign by picking a fight with his party's base. But McCain saw the Senate fight through to the end.
It could be argued, of course, that McCain was playing to the middle and aiming for the general election. After all, Latino voters are an important general election constituency in a number of states. But at the same time that McCain was risking his neck with primary voters over immigration, he was doing the same with the general electorate over what was then the massively unpopular war in Iraq.
We can all well remember how setbacks in the Iraq War in 2006 helped the Democrats capture Congress and emboldened previously waffling candidates like Obama to become full-throated advocates of immediately commencing a withdrawal from Iraq. Many on the Right thought that the main challenge of 2008 would be the unpopularity of the war, and careful observers noted that throughout the spring and summer of 2007, Mitt Romney was leaving himself room to run away from the war effort in time for the general election if it went badly.
Not McCain, whose famous declaration - "I'd rather lose an election than lose a war" - perfectly captured the extent to which the war remained a matter of principle to the old warrior. McCain had been a supporter of the war since the beginning (and an Iraq hawk for a decade before that), but had also repeatedly angered the White House and the Pentagon with his calls for more troops. When the Bush Administration adopted the "surge" strategy that incorporated a short-term increase in troop levels, McCain went all-in on the strategy, banking his campaign on America's success. Had the surge failed, McCain would have been toast in the general election, and probably early enough that it would have cost him the primaries as well. But as on immigration, McCain eschewed the cautious approach and the conventional wisdom in favor of his longstanding principles. That America stands within reach of victory in Iraq is in no small part due to his persistent advocacy of the war and the surge, even when they were especially unpopular with those people - moderates and swing voters disaffected from Bush - who McCain would need to court in the general election. But even when McCain most desperately needed votes, he still put the good of the war effort first. When has Barack Obama done anything like that? When has the moment ever called for anything that Barack Obama delivered?
IV. Joe Biden: Business As Usual
I'm not going to spend much time here on Joe Biden. First of all, nobody's voting on Joe Biden. Second, whatever Biden's intentions and however long his tenure in Washington, there just isn't any point in taking seriously the idea that Biden could be any sort of agent of "change"...let's review:
Biden served in the Senate for most of the 1970s without making a mark as a reformer or exposing any significant corruption.
Biden served in the Senate for all of the 1980s without making a mark as a reformer or exposing any significant corruption.
Biden served in the Senate for all of the 1990s without making a mark as a reformer or exposing any significant corruption.
Biden has served in the Senate for the first nine years of this decade without making a mark as a reformer or exposing any significant corruption.
Oh, and Biden's son is a Washington lobbyist.
None of this makes him a bad guy or a bad Senator. But Biden is practically part of the furniture in the Senate; it's pretty hard to define what "business as usual" in the Senate means if it doesn't include Joe Biden.
V. Conclusion
Anyone who expects their politicians to be saints is in for a lifetime of rude surprises. John McCain and Sarah Palin haven't gotten as far as they have in politics without understanding how to do the things politicians do; you can pick over their records for projects they shouldn't have funded, contributors or endorsers they shouldn't have solicited, lobbyists they shouldn't have hired or worked with, etc. They aren't otherworldly figures descended to this fallen vale of tears to save us from our own vice. Their motives aren't always purely altruistic, and their ideas of reform aren't even always well-advised. And neither, for that matter, is Barack Obama an especially spineless political climber, at least by Chicago standards.
But what matters on the issue of integrity in office on matters of both politics and policy is that both McCain and Palin have been willing to stick their necks out and crack heads to make things happen. Time and again, each of them has stood up against corruption and waste even in their own party, making important and powerful enemies in their own ranks in the process. And Obama has never had the courage to do any of that; he was always, at every turn, happy to take what the machine was there to give him and look the other way, or worse. Obama has his issues he can campaign on, but on the question of integrity, he has nothing at all to offer. Change? Change how Washington politics works - even a little, even gradually, even one grimy hand-to-hand battle at a time? There is no plausible case you could make that Obama's record shows him to be any kind of change agent at all, let alone the kind that McCain and Palin have proven themselves to be. If Obama tries to change Washington, it will only be to aggrandize his own power and that of his party.
As I always say, in politics you judge a man's vices by the friends he keeps and his virtues by the enemies he makes. McCain and Palin have made enemies worth having. But all around him, all through his career, any enemy worth making has ended up instead as one of Obama's friends.

I was just thinking about a reference (i.e., no column data). The reference might or might not include the connection; both instances have valid use cases. E.g., the connection may often be configurable, and if you change the configuration and load the pickle you may want lot load it from the newly configured connection, not the old connection. OTOH, if you are using multiple databases, you may want the connection included in the reference. __setstate__ would require refactoring SQLObject a bit, so that it could set up all the special variables that SQLObject creates in __init__. That would be doable. Another option would be to implement __new__, and potentially include some magic keyword argument that would cause a .get() to be called. Of course, __init__ gets *re*-called if __new__ returns an instance of the class. Frankly __new__ is a stupid, stupid method. Which makes me think __setstate__ may be the better way to go. Oh, wait, no... that's no good either. Because sometimes you'll be returning an existing instance when unpickling, if that row has already been loaded up. Blah. And what if you want to load the objects into a transaction? Then you'd want to say, "unpickle to this connection". Again, rather annoying, since there's no way to pass information from the pickler into the class, except through a global. At that point, a pickle subclass starts to seem better, where this configuration information could be stored in the pickle subclass. Blah. Well, there's my indecisive opinion. -- Ian Bicking / ianb@... / http://blog.ianbicking.org
