McCain shows his colours

A small postscript to an important article in last weekends New York Times newspaper concerning John McCain.  Whilst Hilary Clinton has been caught out, talking up her experience under fire, John McCain has remained silent in public concerning his son, who is several months into his tour with the US Marine Corps in Iraq.

I feel that his character coupled with familiarity with the outside world will position him increasingly well with middle America in the forthcoming US Presidential elections.
