Father-son comparisons are irrelevant.

For every son who is like his father, there is a father who wonders how his son could have shot up a shopping mall or slit the throats of a best friend's family during a midnight trespass.

McCain needs to mend more than fences. Would the Admiral have approved of his McCain-Feingold atrocity? His marital fiasco's?

I doubt it. Most servicemen I know have a certain level of dignity, honor and love of this country's ideals than McCain has shown me, thus far.

We have a difference of opinion, here. But, McCain is certainly not above reproach or criticism. That is not what he, and others, are supposed to have fought for.

Look, I understand your disappointment that Mitt did not win--I'd be just as disappointed had it been McCain who lost. But, neither of you are looking at the "big picture" and it's right before you on Fox news as I type: Add up tonight's Democratic votes, in a contest that didn't even matter, and compare them to the GOP totals. You'll see that they are just about even with Hillary besting every Republican who ran today.

Bottom line: the GOP is going to have to have a candidate that appeals to moderate Democrats and Independents across the country to win. Do you REALLY think that is someone like Mitt Romney?

Florida is a bellwether state and the 4th most populated in the U.S.--If Mitt couldn't win in a closed primary, how the heck do you think he could win against the Clinton slime machine?
