I JUST TOOK

a recorded call from Cindy McCain, who urges me to vote for her husband.  Here are the chief talking points in the McCain phone push in California:

1.  John McCain is the guy who really, really wants to secure the border, and he's the one who you can count on to get the job done.  And what's more, he'll do that first before anything else!  (You've got to admit John McCain has balls the size of coconuts, and a capacity for horse hockey that that Bill Clinton must admire.)

2.  Cindy and John have two children currently serving in the nation's armed forces.  (Unstated but implied -- Mitt Romney's five sons never served the country during this time of war.)

3.  John McCain is the reliable anti-abortion candidate.  (No mention of McCain's true feelings about Judge Alito.)

4.  John McCain believes in freedom.  (Unstated -- just not the 1st Amendment kind.)

UPDATE:  Romney's robocall includes audio of Bill Clinton explaining how Hillary Clinton and John McCain agree on almost everything and get along so well together.  The phone call also mentions McCain's teamwork with Ted Kennedy and other Democrats on Congressional legislation.
