Mac is Back ...

"The Mac is Back" must be some sort of official slogan, because they used it at the McCain rally in Manchester, too. 

Clearly, MKH's crowd up in Concord kept McCain too busy, because he showed up a half hour late (in truth, the roads are packed up here and there are traffic jams)... 

Mostly, it was just his usual talking points.  But he did have two lines that stuck in my head:  He said he would use a pen Ronald Reagan gave him to veto spending bills -- and he said (speaking of our troops) -- "I'm going to bring them home, but I'm going to bring them home with honor!"

McCain sounded a little hoarse, but still energetic.  I spotted Tim Russert, Chuck Todd, and Matt Lauer hanging out in the crowd...
