Chasing the 'Straight Talk Express'

BOSTON, Mass. — If you’re reading this over breakfast, I’m at a rally in Faneuil Hall for John McCain. Tomorrow, barring a last-minute political earthquake, Republicans in over 20 states will go to the polls and all but crown the Arizona senator the nominee of their party. It’s already being called one of the greatest political comebacks in American history — one that I hope to explain in the thesis (book?) I plan to begin writing when I return to Ithaca next week. I’ve spent the better part of the last two months doing everything in my limited power to make that comeback possible — attending rallies, writing letters to the editor and calling conservative talk radio to counter the relentless anti-McCain jihad.
