No not at all. Last night I watched McCain on Meet the Press, it was an old interview, recorded while the Republican field was still quite large. To a degree, he impressed me. He has a steadier hand than Bush. He is more thoughtful more balanced and more sane. But he still did not impress me enough to overcome any of the objections listed.

I am disappointed that you called for debate, but that you have not done so. i look forward to hearing your opinions.
