McCain’s verbal abilities will make us long for the loathed and despised George W. Bush, whom the libs always made fun of as an orator (although I thought he was fine)
Bush is especially good at unscripted, off-the-cuff remarks. McCain is not. But he’s all we got.
And with the Dem’s current turmoil, the good news is that other than a highly-scripted convention, we can now keep him out of the spotlight until a 6-7 week stretch run. For some candidates this would be a drag, but for McCain at this point it’s a boost.
