McCain staying put this time

It looks like John McCain will not go down to New Orleans and pretend to help with the hurricane this time which is great. One thing I think is important in a President is that they can learn from their mistakes and as the Federal Government prepares to do a better job with Gustav than Katrina, so is John McCain doing a better job with not creating a media circus in New Orleans as he did in Iowa when he created a media circus which the Governor begged Obama and McCain not to come to score cheap political points. Obama did as asked McCain didn't. Very disrespectful. Who said you can't teach an old dog to sit.

I might have been wrong by praising McCain for learning his lesson and not going down to LA to stir up a circus when that is the last they need, but it seems like this situation was still much better handled.

Even though he is not president yet and as a candidate he really can't do more there than you or me, it still could be a good learning experience for him.

However, it mostly look like it is a way to score political points just like when Cindy went to Georgia to "asses the damage".
