McCain Speech

Just returned from hearing John McCain speak at the Reagan Library -- AP account here. The linked article summarizes some of the best parts of the Senator's speech, though it conveniently omits the evidence of fissures that emerged during the question and answer period when issues like immigration came up.

As many readers of this blog know, I criticize John McCain from time to time. In fairness, though, it's obvious that he's a patriot, a real fan of Ronald Reagan's -- and a staunch proponent of victory in Iraq. So if he ends up the party's nominee, there is something to build on.
