The Bull Moose Lives!

Much of the political talk about McCain is missing the point and is misguided. "McCain will lose because of the war." "McCain has ruined his chance." "McCain is no longer a maverick."


McCain is more of a maverick than anyone else running. With a Democratic Congress, a weak President, and the polls decisively against the war, McCain still stands by it. McCain has always called for more troops, and now that they are going into Iraq he is not backing off. If America wants a maverick here he is.


More importantly the commentators still think this is a horse race. To McCain this is a final crusade. He believes in his ideas. He knows that a collapsed Iraq will create a tremendous nightmare. And he is running against the odds to stop that from happening.


His hero, Theodore Roosevelt, went down swinging in 1916. McCain will not give up this fight.
