This author's readable style provides more heat than light, as he preaches to his choir. I credit him with providing a link to the Globe, which said, in full, after the introduction about McCain’s banter, the reaction and his response: "The moment encapsulated McCain's day on the campaign trail, during which he attended several town hall-style meetings attended by overflowing audiences of several hundred people.

Ed Morrisey is probably second only to Glenn Reynolds among all the political bloggers (left, center and right wing) in the respect he gets from across the political spectrum, and the fair-minded and measured way this short piece is written shows why both liberals and conservatives have such a high regard for him. The issue is not that important, or the rating would have been higher.
