The Battle Begins

My observation of the McCains last night was that you can't call them hypocritical elitists. They may be wealthy, but you can't say they don't put their money where their mouth is. We learned a lot about Cindy McCain last night. She hasn't been one to flaunt her accomplishments and acts of international charity but accomplished and charitable she is. She would make a good First Lady!

We learned a lot more about John McCain during this convention as well. He's not a Monday morning quarterback when it comes to defending this country; nor is anyone in his family. They talk the talk and then walk it.

There's a lot not to like about McCain's willingness to cater to those on the left, but there's much to like and admire about him as well.

As for the past two conventions...the latter far exceeded the former in electricity and substance.

Now the new battles begin in this war over the future of this country.

Like McCain who said he fell in love with this country when he thought he had lost it while in the Hanoi Hilton, he gained the strength to fight for her even harder. I hope the vast majority of Americans will fall back in love with America and fight even harder for freedom and the American way of life.

There will be some tough fights in the next two months and they're not going to be pretty. The good part about political and culture wars is that it's easy to recognize the good guys from the bad guys.

May the good guys win by an unprecedented large margin.
