Speaking Before a Hostile Crowd: McCain

Senator McCain is demonstrating that he can handle foreign policy. Even with potentially hostile situations, he is able to reach out by finding common ground. Being able to deal with those who are openly opposed to you is difficult for many. I think that at times in his career it has been difficult for John McCain. He seems to be overcoming that difficulty.

It is sad that so many people vote for reasons that are not directly tied to the policies or positions of a candidate nor are they tied to their abilities to handle the office. They are often a matter of gender, of race, or of looks. Demonstrated leadership is important. Charisma is NOT the best criteria for selection. Look what that did for us under "what is the definition of is" Clinton. Senator McCain is showing us that he has what it takes to be President.
