I watched McCain’s speech last night & fell asleep about 15 minutes in. What a contrast to the prior evening’s addresses. He was boorish: I, me, my…typical Washington self adoration.

If McCain is elected, and right now I think you could say there’s a better-than 50% chance that he will, this maverick will find himself on an island. Not a good place for a leader that can only survive in a collaborative working environment.

And, of course, he will have put himself there.
