Quin, I agree but Rudy was better on Hannity when he asked
(paraphrasing) "Return on success--which part don't they like
'return' or 'success'?" To correct my earlier post, McCain was in
fact on the air. (Yes, he looks like he's wearing the old man
wardrobe from On Golden Pond these days and it looks worse than
those darn sweaters he hated.) But Thompson and Romney avoided
cameras and tried the email/press release approach tonight. It
re-enforces the notion that neither is front and center on this.
McCain has a real role as Senate leader and long-time critic of
Rumsfeld; Rudy forced his way into the conversation by virtue of
his punchy rhetoric and his staff (coming up with the NY Times ad
and booking him in two spots tonight).
