Sen. McCain's speech at NRA meeting

Posted by David Hardy · 20 May 2008 10:35 AM

Transcript here.

Afterwards, Grover Norquist made an insightful comment. It would have been much better had McCain just dropped the last two paragraphs, relating to the war in Iraq. Odds are most of his listeners know his position there already. But their insertion made it likely that the media would seize upon them and make that the story, rather than his talk about firearms and gun laws.

I came to say what Countertop just said. If you look at his emails to supporters all week, he never mentioned his speech at NRA or guns as a political issue. I don't think they wanted the gun issue to be the story.
