His campaign was unable to return calls for my story, but apparently Sen. John McCain has now flipped and will oppose the Law of the Sea Treaty.

It's quite a move for a guy who joined with some of the Senate's most liberal senators in 1998 in urging favorable consideration and who was actually scheduled to testify on behalf of the treaty in 2003, as then-Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar says in his opening statement from that hearing.

That leaves Giuliani as the only Republican candidate who hasn't taken a public position. His campaign didn't return repeated messages for my story.
