McCain also has a subtle tendency to gently remind everyone that he was a hero long before he came to the Senate, making criticism difficult. We used to call this wrapping one's self in the flag, before we started patching blue jeans and burning Old Glory. McCain is demonstrably a hero, but then so was Bob Dole, who was far more crippled than most people knew-from his service, only Dole discouraged any talk of his war service. All of which makes it tougher for Romney to lay a hand on him. To the extent he's read, George Will's column above hit's McCain the way Romney would surely like to portray him. Super Tuesday is shaping up to be very super. I think Romney will continue to harp on McCain's record and let the media do the wet work.
