In the wake of the crisis in Libya, John McCain has taught his successor as the GOP's presidential nominee a thing or two about statesman-like behavior.
In a powerful speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, the Arizona senator eulogized Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed in the attack on the Libyan embassy Tuesday.
“In Chris' death, the Libyan people have lost a great champion and believer in the peaceful aspirations of their democratic revolution. The American people have lost a selfless and dedicated servant of our interests and values. And I have lost a friend,” said McCain.
Mitt Romney, you'll recall, took a different tack.

A truely superb speech.
Myth failed the 3AM call test!!! Thank GOD he was not POTUS when it happened!
Eloquent Senator !
Mitt Romney is an opprotunist and should have just kept is mouth shut. He wanted to humiliate the President to further himself with his potential voters.
He only looked like a smirky a-hole
If you vote for Romney then you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Romne isn't fit for office, I'm voting for Obama, but if McCain ran and chose a good running mate, I would consider voting for him
Had McCain had a credible Vice Presidential candidate, I would have considered voting for him. The 'machine" is doing the Party no favors, with Sarah Palin, Mitt Romnny or Paul Ryan. But McCain I must exclude from this condemnation. He is, perhaps, their last honest, unpaid for, genuine member.
However, McCain behaved miserably in the economic melt-down in 2008.
McCain performed poorly in the economic melt-down of 2008.
Mitt Romney hasn't a clue. This is not a time to attack the President; this is a time for all of us to stand behind the President. Our country has been attacked. The venomous attacks from the right is unconscionable.
John McCain is a reminder of what the GOP used to be. Too bad those days are gone. Romney is an empty suit - far worse in my opinion than an empty chair.
