The Washington Monthly:
"Whether McCain runs a relentlessly negative, substance-free campaign has nothing to do with his proposal for extra debates. If McCain wanted to be an honorable candidate, he could be an honorable candidate, whether his opponent is a Senate colleague or a total stranger. Building a rapport is not a prerequisite for honest campaigning -- character, integrity, and respect for the political process are prerequisites for honest campaigning."

"Many years ago, I attended a lecture by a man named Akio Morita, who may well have been the smartest person to ever be in the same room as me. (He was the co-founder of Sony.) He said — this is not an exact quote but it's close — 'The thing that will eventually doom much of American business is that your executives pay no price for failure. You can become CEO of a corporation, do everything wrong, drive your company into the ground and then retire and buy several mansions with the money they will pay you for doing this.'"

"McCain worked his way up to me and Cat and as I shook his hand, I asked, 'Sir, I respect your service but, why were you against the GI bill?' Senator McCain, paused, he looked a bit surprised at the question and then he said, 'Nice to meet you.' I repeated the question and he repeated his non-answer. He quickly worked his way down the line. So much for straight-talk!"
