McCain caught a real break. The approaching storm changes the convention, which makes comparison to the Democratic convention impossible, apples v. oranges; it keeps Bush from making a speech there; it gives McCain a chance to show the face of compassionate conservatism (he's even thinking of delivering his acceptance speech from the Gulf, which might be so obviously opportunist as to work against him); he gets to act to the camera in a crisis. If both candidates start grandstanding in the aftermath of the storm, trying to show they are more compassionate than the other guy, a better leader in a crisis than the other guy, well, here we go again. Politics is pissing in public, wrote Norman O. Brown.
I'm astounded how many commentators on the Sunday talk shows welcome the possibility of the good governor of Alaska being their President and aren't, like yours truly, scared to death of the possibility.
