Testy McCain

I like the reporter's closing at the end.



As far as I know, McCain still hasn't been directly asked if it is true that he first approached John Kerry in 2004 about becoming Kerry's running mate. Last year, Kerry implied that McCain came to him. The previous understanding is that Kerry approached McCain about being on his ticket and McCain declined. Who approached who is of significant consequence.

I hope that this encourages the press to, ahem, press this question further. I say there are even odds whether this will provoke them to inquire further on this point, or cower away, afraid of being the object of McCain's old-man-style, testy ire.
