I’m not a McCain supporter, but tonight his comment about Hillary’s earmark - $1 million for a Woodstock museum - was a real winner.
McCain was talking about stopping Hillary’s earmark, and then he commented, “I didn’t attend Woodstock .. I was tied up at the time.” I loved it when the audience caught on to what McCain meant - he was tied up - in a prison in Vietnam.
I really liked McCain tonight. I liked his demeanor and his experience came through in spades.
Unfortunately, then I remember his maniacal outbursts, CFR, Immigration Reform, his coziness with Teddy Kennedy, etc. If we could just clone the best parts of all these guys! LOL.
Personally I was put off by McCain's reference to his time as a POW. It reminded me too much of John Kerry constantly referring to having served in Viet Nam. The audience loved it, but I think McCain had better lines.
