And as I've said before, I think he'd be a better president than John McCain (see also Poulos' endorsement). There is an opening here for someone to point out that McCain is a kind of empty suit -- a heroic biography followed by an extended legislative career that's been long on Sunday morning show appearances and short on worthwhile accomplishments.
