McCain Showing SmartsI don't always have nice things to say about John McCain, but this post certainly indicates his
heart is in the right place. Kudos to the Ankle-Biters for catching this.
I have to admit, I'm starting to warm up to the concept of a McCain nomination in 2008. It virtually guarantees the Republican Party a win, and unlike the Kossacks I'd rather win half a loaf than lose it all. It's John's turn, and we are a party that generally nominates the person whose turn it is (Ronald Reagan in 1980, George HW Bush in 1988, Bob Dole, 1996). While he's been in the wrong in my opinion on a number of issues (campaign finance reform for example), he's been generally solid on the war on terror. Yes, perhaps he's a little too concerned about "torture", but he experienced it at the hands of his North Vietnamese captors.
