Graham still was following politics, albeit from a safe distance now. Though he has never met John McCain, the evangelist recalled stopping in Hawaii on his trips to and from South Vietnam and praying on his knees next to McCain's father Admiral John McCain, then commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, for the son who was being held as a prisoner of war.

She trotted them out in a speech about government reform in New Hampshire on April 13 (albeit with a different "down ramp": not about restoring America's role in the world, but about not "giv[ing] up on America's ideals") and has mentioned them at least five times since then.
