For what it's worth . . .
John McCain has been getting kudos in the blogsophere today. Instapundit has a roundup here. Dean Barnett and Hugh Hewitt have more here, here, and here.
Especially interesting is this WSJ account of an exchange between McCain and CBS's Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes:
The most revealing exchange came when Mr. Pelley, in all apparent seriousness, asked the Senator "at what point do you stop doing what you think is right and you start doing what the majority of the American people want?"
Answered Mr. McCain: "I disagree with what the majority of the American people want. I still believe the majority of the American people, when asked, say if you can show them a path to success . . . then they'll support it." Later Mr. Pelley observed that Mr. McCain was betting his entire campaign on the success of the current "surge" strategy in Baghdad. The Senator replied that he'd "rather lose a campaign than lose a war."
Can you imagine if Brit Hume had asked that question of Hillary Clinton about, say, "partial birth" abortion?
