Let's not forget too that Dole sent McCain a campaign donation while his own wife was still in the running for the Presidency.

I never forget an offense!! LOLOL

Clearly Dole is no Bush sycophant, ala Lanny Davis, et al.

You are right. Dole was and still is, a very up-front guy. As much as I was disappointed in his '96 run, I always respected his love for his country and his independent streak. I didn't see Blitzer challenging Dole's points. Did you catch Dole's little jab about Kerry's injuries not even drawing blood? You can see disgust at the Democrats' tactics - maybe some residual from '96?
