The greatest question of this campaign for me will be who is the real John Mccain? - Mel Profit Nov 4, 21:45 16
- the rolling stone article answered it well enough for me -- nm - pigby Nov 4, 21:48 1

  - I can't reconcile it with the last 6 months... - Mel Profit Nov 4, 21:47 7

        In the Firefly vernacular, it's a Shan Yu revelation. - David Nov 4, 22:01
    - He's not campaigning anymore. I believe I saw more of the real McCain tonight than at any point in the campaign. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 21:48 3
      - the problem with that is... - Mel Profit Nov 4, 21:53 2

        Word, Mel and I have been on the exact same page on this for the past 2+ years. (nm) - musubi Nov 4, 21:55
  - He did very well. I do kind of wish he had verbally berated the boo-ers, but then again - it would have interfered with the class of his speech. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 21:47 3
    - The boo-ers were to be expected, and he hushed them quickly with what he was saying. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 21:49 1

CNN's age breakdown was impressive. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 21:42 5

  - yeah, they'll give him 100 days and if they don't get a dawning of a new age of aquarious, they'll be all like cynical and never vote again -- nm - zeitgeist, at least my ticket is straight Nov 4, 21:51 1
    - yup. And then in a few decades we'll see a 60s-style resurgence of anti-establishment feelings -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 21:56
  - Yeah, but winning all but the over 65 was impressive, and that was even close. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 21:45 1
    - Absolutely. It's just that if you look at the national numbers, it isn't the blow out people feel it is and that means you cannot lose voters in '12. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 21:53
