His question about her willingness to defend Georgia from Russia, even if it meant going to war, did allow her to mention that she'd spoken to President Saakashvili to assure him of her support. Gibson pressed her on how she would view Israel attacking Iran's nuclear facilities.

Given the admitted failure of his party, he didn't present anything more than his own integrity as an action plan. And given the anger and vitriol of his campaign - given the scurrilous, sarcastic speeches he allowed to be delivered on Wednesday night; given the embarrassing antics and media conspiracies spouted by his staff - McCain's reputation for integrity has been badly damaged...
