After being greeted by his running mate and her family upon his arrival in the Twin Cities, W3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUs">who did John McCain spend the most time talking to?

McCain flew into the Twin Cities, arriving about noon at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. He was met on the tarmac by among others his wife, Cindy, and Palin and her family.

That included Palin's pregnant teenage daughter, Bristol, and father-to-be Levi Johnston. McCain gave Bristol numerous hugs, patted Johnston on the arm and spoke with the couple longer than any of the others in the greeting line.

Having grown up in a Navy family, knowing men like John McCain (including one of his fellow POWs), I can guess that the conversation was one of fatherly/grandfatherly advice to the young couple – and his offer of support to the two of them in what is an unimaginably difficult time when they have found themselves attacked in an unconscionable way by the indecent liberal and media hordes. He's been on the receiving end of such attacks many times before, and he knows that things will get better.

Call it an act of compassion by a man who could have just as easily dispensed with it and garnered neither notice nor criticism.
