In the military, officers are trained to recognize and promote talent. It's a touchstone of command to be able to advance others that have demonstrated skills and leadership.
John McCain brought the "recognize and promote" skill to the search for his civilian running mate. Immediately, our nation saw the quality of the choice.
Imagine what John McCain is going to do with his cabinet and the women and men he pistons forward in his administration.
I said in the lead-up to the announcement of Gov. Palin, that John McCain had shown the quality of judgment to survive a torturous captivity as a targeted POW and that we needed to have confidence that he would demonstrate the same sureness of hand in the selection of his running mate for the national campaign.
John McCain was trained as a naval aviator. He was trained to and then performed bringing the craft in safely where the deck pitches, rolls and yaws.
In Sen. McCain, we have a sure hand on the aileron of state to guide our nation in and fly us true in all conditions.
