Why McCain is great.
David Brooks shows why McCain is possibly the best man in the presidential race this year.

If only everyone else would realize that what Brooks says about him is true. He supported the surge before Bush did because he thought it was the best strategy. Then once Bush adopted it, the media said McCain was following Bush and that McCain was some blind Bush follower. They got it wrong.
After years of calling for more troops, McCain’s voice was finally heard by Bush. Bush belatedly followed McCain and not the other way around. The media really screwed up on that story and hurt a great man’s image. In case you can’t tell, I’m still bitter about this mess-up.
So read Brooks’ column above to learn a little more about the man who, if the race was based on character, should be president. Actually, he should maybe be president if the race was based on policy, too. And if it was based on competance, he’d also have the race won. Heck, maybe this man should be president!! And that’s from a guy born in Arkansas when Clinton was governor - and yes that means I’m a Clintonite.
But now I’m a McCainiac, thank you very much.

Sadly, McCain missed his moment. It is not so much that he is old, but he lacks vigor. He reads from notes more than he used to and has difficulty maintaining as active of a schedule as his opponents.
I hate that he’s losing the “tough guy” vote to Rudy, when I agree that he is a much better leader.
If you want someone who is genuine, who is just loved by everyone who meets him, keep your eye on Huckabee. This might not be his time, but in a few years, watch out! He might make an interesting VP pick for someone this time around.

McCain (Prez), Huckabee (VP) - strong on national security, gets the Christian right votes, the moderate votes, and all of the conservatives because Clinton will be the Dem. nominee.
