I was here four years ago. No CBS coverage in España. Tried to figure out who owns CBS to see if there would be any interest there in covering up McCain's answer, but its too confusing. Not really.

The platform that McCain is running on is one of connectedness, capability in the international arena and integrity. I've spoken to friends of mine who are more positive about McCain than they would be about Obama. These are three areas that they have specifically mentioned that are important to them. I think McCain is conscientiously campaigning on these three issues (plus others, of course) and it is surprising to me to see something like this that is so concretely NOT what he wants people to see. And then CBS leave it on the cutting room floor? That's whack. Not necessarily.
