When the 2008 presidential campaign began so long ago, everyone believed the Iraq War would be the defining issue. But as violence lessened, talk turned to health care, immigration and the sputtering economy. Now, everyone's talking about change, change, change.
America's desire for change taps a yearning to feel optimistic about the future again, to feel confident that the country is headed in the right direction. But change for change's sake is a risky proposition. More important is a clear sense of purpose, a strong set of values and the ability to get things done.
In our considered opinion, Arizona Sen. John McCain is the Republican presidential candidate best prepared to lead America forward in a muscular yet compassionate way. Today we recommend him for your consideration.
