As a fellow McCain circa 2000 fan, I completely agree. His remarks were perfect. He tamped down the negative reaction with a very firm hand.

I say this as an Obama supporter - if this had been the McCain that had campaigned for the presidency, there might have been a very different outcome. It was a great speech by McCain.
