John McCain would, indeed, have made a fine general. With his gene pool, how could he NOT have made a fine general?

The way he both introduced Governor Palin and subsequently handled the media challenges were breathtaking. As president, he is going to have to deal with foreign leaders who may be just as mean-spirited as the drive-by media but a whole lot smarter. This was a warm-up. A spectacular tour-de-force, for sure, but only a warm-up. We've seen leadership from Senator McCain. We are still waiting for his opponent.

p>The American people have been given the opportunity to see a decent and good man making tough decisions under fire with dignity and grace. Senator McCain's opponent has been given such a spectacular pass by the media that the contrast is obvious. I have full faith in the essential goodness and intelligence of the American people that they will see this episode for what it is and hand the drive-by media the rebuke they deserve by electing Senator McCain and Governor Palin to the highest offices our nation has to offer. br> -- M.

OK, Jeremy. If McCain's that smart, I definitely want him in there fighting Iran, et al. Of course, he still has to win the election. So, let's flesh this out. It isn't the Obamanation he's really up against, it's Billary. How does he get Hillary to give Obama such lukewarm support, that enough of her diehards vote for McCain, Obama loses, and Hillary is back in 2012 against Palin family values? Sure would top this presidential campaign for press coverage. Now, if the press had any brains, ah, the press, gotta love 'em, they'd figure this out, start cutting McCain some slack, hold unflattering interviews with Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers on every Sunday morning show, and have Tony Rezko's mug shot on CNN every night from now until November 4.
