Little Big League

Benchwarmer mistake. War heroes in the White House. Frosty reception. Plus more.

br> Austin, Texas /p>

Jenny Rubin is correct to suggest that unless John McCain can put behind him his "One-trick Pony" image, that his sole concern as president would be the war against Islamic terrorism, he's toast in the general election.

The American, or any, people care far more about bread & butter issues than about a far away war that's winding down. Or about another, also far away, very hot war, in this case, the one in Afghanistan.

Tip O'Neill was correct also to observe "All politics is local." In other words, people care about issues that affect them directly, not abstract ones. Bin Laden has become an abstract issue, regardless John likes it or not.
