The Fox News Republican Forum begins in about five minutes. I'm finally stocked about the Republican race because I believe we are going to see the emergence of the John McCain. While I'm not wild about McCain as the nominee or as the next President, I believe he is an honorable man.
One thing about his political history stands out in my mind. On the eve of the Iraq invasion, Senator McCain made his opposition to the plan known. He wasn't against an invasion; rather, he thought we needed more soldiers on the ground. His number was something like 400,000 versus the 180,000 that eventually went. At the time, this opinion seemed crazy. But after nearly five years of fighting, I have to say that the Senator knew what he was talking about.
