Yes, Sarah and Todd's reaction was to something McCain said and it must have been endearing.
Also endearing was how he stroked both Levi's and Bristols's arms up and down in an embrace. He looked like a minister joining them in marriage.
But for the second time, he then bent over and kissed Trig on the head.
As much as I differ with John on amnesty and global warming, I give him props for his warmth.
I don’t agree with McCain on amnesty, but I always felt that he was genuine about the issue.
I really think he (and Bush) was compassionate about wanting to share the gift of America with more people. I think the plan is misguided and it’s not the right way to accomplish that goal, but I never lost respect for Bush for McCain because of their position on that issue.
