You know I hate to take issue with a colleague, but David Klinghoffer’s piece today left me shaking my head.

David, a lot of us out here are desperately trying to convince ourselves to vote for John McCain in November. One of the few things he has going for him is precisely his older-guy sensibility, those reflexes and attitudes that most Americans grew up acquiring before the horrible 1960s. Now you want him to go on Oprah and bare his soul, like some damn narcisistic Boomer or depilated, TV-addled Gen-Xer? Please.

One thing that would get me, and I am sure a lot of other Americans, into the voting booth for McCain would be to see him asked by some reporter about his deepest beliefs, with McCain responding: “Mind your own business.” A good salty intensifier in front of that word “business” would be decisive.
