...GOP should be hesitant and sheepish to recommend that we abandon what was working and return to what failed," he said...
...Republican side, we urge voters to cast their ballot for McCain. McCain's straight-talking, brash style has earned him the affection of the media, much to the chagrin of his party's establishment.
