McCain: Cunningham = Obama:McClurkin. My observation
From a political standpoint, I would not have advised McCain to speak so strongly. He could have dissed the guy a little easier.

From a moral standpoint, this is the same problem Obama had with McClurkin. McCain chose to act quickly to make clear where he stood. Obama, not so much.

Score one for McCain, in my opinion. Bad political move. But impressive from a moral point of view, which is always more important.

1. Per KO, he took 45 min to act
and the audience had left the hall.

2. Ahhhh...I didn't know that.
In that case, I give McCain only 1/2 cool point. He still did the right thing.
