He's twinkly too, and I love him (Barry, I mean). Except for every policy position he's ever taken, he's my guy! The first half of every speech he ever gives is like Reagan.

Rest assured: since primary voters apparently insist on voting for the next guy in line, Rudy and Mitt and Mike and Fred can all run in 2012 and 2016. Some day it will be their turn and they will still be younger than McCain is now. Huckabee will be younger in 2020. Imagine that.

Having said that, McCain would probably make a better president than either Clinton or Obama, all things considered. But there is an enthusiasm gap.
