McCain started saying he was “very pleased” with the outcome last night, which has to be an understatement. And he gushed about the people of New Hampshire, which I have no doubt is genuine. But he quickly got back to his favorite issue, the war in Iraq and his role in implementing the new counterinsurgency strategy under the leadership of Gen. Petraeus.He also said he’d have Tom Ridge and other surrogates vouch for his commitment to securing the borders in order to counter the immigration “attack mode” of Governor Romney. A couple of interesting questions… He was asked if he would join Tom Coburn to support an investigation into a Don Young earmark, and would he support the president’s signing of an executive order that would allow for such earmarks to be disregarded?
I absolutely do, I absolutely do. And I’m grateful in any way to have my name associated with Tom Coburn.
