McCain Pushes Back

Here.

I am very heartened to read the Time piece linked above, which tells how McCain rebuked a Minnesota crowd for the venom of its anti-Obama fervor. McCain, replying to a woman who referred to Obama as "an Arab terrorist," said
"No, no ma'am...He's a decent family man with whom I happen to have some disagreements."
My sense is that this is McCain doing what McCain would do in any similar situation, as opposed to McCain doing whatever it takes to become president. He's re-humanizing himself, and I hope it continues. I hope he loses the election, but I hope he continues to be a decent human being.
