...McCain's Benediction So what if he's a Republican--and one who couldn't beat George Bush, at that? Nearly all the Democrats seeking the White House are trying to channel Senator John McCain's straight-talking, iconoclastic appeal. They work his name into their speeches.

More tellingly, the U.S. last week even opened a channel of communication with the North. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, a former U.N. ambassador with experience negotiating with Pyongyang on tricky issues, held unofficial talks with two North Korean envoys...
