Back in 2000 John McCain was campaigning for the Republican nomination up here. It was late winter. The crowd gathered at the Littleton VFW was wearing parkas and snow boots, looking shaggy and upcountry, and leaving muddy footprints on the floor. The McCain bus was more or less on time, maybe only ten minutes late. As Senator McCain entered the room, everyone stood up in his honor.
I've seen a fair number of presidential candidates blow thru here, looking for votes. McCain is the only one of 'em where the voters respected him enough to stand for him.
God Speed John McCain. I wish you the best possible luck in the face of your dreadful diagnosis.
