...to pull him over for a moment.

I believe that humans and our time on earth is an epic battle of good vs. evil. And sometimes there are those that are completely lost and those that fight everyday for good and the people in between who get pulled in either direction by the forces and have to make a choice.

Yesterday we saw Good pull over McCain...for at least a day for us all to live another day.

It doesn't change my opinion of McCain one bit. It only convinces me all the more that the Good must continue the fight and not retreat and realize that the battle is not over.

If it was Ted Kennedy's soul whispering into McCain's ear through his dreams last night, so be it. Good prevailed for this one.
