Your transcription and commentary should be mandatory reading for those who are on the fence about voting for MCain... all 14 of them.  I don't want to go off on a rant here (self-denuniciation/rejecti on for quoting Dennis "Football" Miller), but these points just don't matter in the grand scheme if we don't get mass media recognition of them.  Until then, John-the-Maverick is "standing up for the little guy", supporting "what really matters to Americans", and taking on the "defeatist left".  It is sad to say that the most persuasive argument derivable against McCain from this interview is that he seems out-of-touch and unadaptable (read: old), and sadder still that after all the third-term-of-Bush right-wing pandering that he's done, I agree that this argument should be the one that progressives pursue to convince America not to go down the wrong path yet again in November.

I now retire my cynicism and disgust of politics for the day.  Or until the next TYT show, whichever comes first.
