I think McCain is generally more adult than most of the other choices in his party, and he has more integrity, too, but I think his mindset is not particularly progressive or innovative, nor is his style very inspirational. <BR/>After 9-11, as is the case with many catastrophic events, people do rise up to their best selves. Rudy may indeed have risen up from the ashes of that tragedy, but as a New Yorker for many years, before and after 9-11, I can tell you that Rudy was not an inspiring leader, unless you want to include inspiring a lot of people to get really angry at him!Peter Loffredohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11940970263018875931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008810052310749969.post-88084853770162598312008-01-30T14:35:00.000-05:002008-01-30T14:35:00.000-05:00This is from Rick:Wow!

Convenient as it may be, your romantic outlook is refreshing. How Bobby Kennedy!<BR/>The problem is, however, both the Democrats and Republicans have a nasty propensity to eat their own. The candidate who avoids being an entrée and rests comfortably on the appetizer or dessert menu will win the race.<BR/>Do you think Giuliano can capture that "elevating spirit" he had in the many years after 9/11? If not, who best exemplifies that spirit on the Republican side? <BR/> <BR/>Good to see you also taking a swipe at that rag, the New York Times! I have a newfound respect for you!Peter Loffredohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11940970263018875931noreply@blogger.com
