McCain in Georgia
Written by Nate on February 21st, 2007Sen. McCain was in Georgia yesterday and made a visit to the State Capital. I was there and got to meet him (biting my tongue thinking of all the things I would love to say to him but did not) as he made the rounds wooing the state legislators. He spoke at caucus meetings for both the house and senate. An interesting note is that also there with him was Sen. Phil Gramm, who I also talked to briefly. Sen. Saxby was there, but did not appear to be there with Sen. McCain. Saxby was addressing the house while McCain was addressing the Senate. McCain was a very big help to Lt. Gov Casey Cagle (who SaveTheGop endorsed) in his race against Ralph Reed. Mitt Romney is having a huge fundraiser down here tonight. On a side note, McCain looked terrible. He looked old, tired and pale. I am not sure how much support he picked up if any. Romney is bringing in all the old bush money in the state and is bringing in key endorsements as well. I will try and write more of my thoughts and observations later.

I don’t think McCain is going to go anywhere. He is kind of like Obama, in my opinion, media hype.

McCain is more of the real deal than Obama, meaning he isn’t completely style over substance, but his health is going to end up being a concern.

That’s interesting, I’ve never heard anyone claim that Obama isn’t a bona fide liberal. I would be interested to hear why you think that.

Fmr. Senator Phil Gramm had an interesting op-ed in Tuesday’s WSJ in which he argued that John McCain is the right man for the times. Not saying I necessarily agreed with it, but he makes some compelling points.

This has got to be the greatest power vaccum in recent American history.
