McCain's Action

Today, TPM reported that McCain is sending his own delegation to Georgia saying, "This is quite hilarious." Normally I find myself in agreement with Joshua Marshall but I really don't see what is wrong with this. I don't expect much out of it but overall I think its a great move on the McCain campaign in terms of painting himself as a 'man of action,' especially while Obama is on vacation. It's too bad that it took the pleading of Georgia's president for him to do something but nonetheless I think its probably the best way for him to get a more accurate assessment of what is going on over there (if such a thing is actually possible).

It really irked me when, during Obama's MidEast and European tour people were accusing him of acting too presidential. Is he not trying out for the role of president? Would you really start a college basketball player in the NBA without first putting him in the arena of professional basketball to see how he will perform?

So now McCain is acting presidential. I don't know what he is going to get out of sending this delegation but I don't think the act itself is something to mock.

If I am missing something, please let me know!
