Accessibility Opens Doors For McCain  —  SPARTANBURG, S.C. — As the JetBlue charter from Michigan touched down in South Carolina, I strolled up to John McCain's front-row seat — none of his aides batted an eye — and asked if he would continue to chat with reporters around the clock if he won the Republican nomination.
Discussion: Salon, D-Day, TPM Election Central and MSNBC
The Corner:
The Weak Frontrunner  —  I still believe that McCain is the strongest candidate the Republicans could run this fall, and that he gets more grief than he deserves from conservatives.  (Which is not to deny that he can make it hard for conservatives to defend him. . .)

Frontline Blogger Covers War in Iraq With a Soldier's Eyes  —  Michael Yon was not a journalist, and he wasn't sure what a blogger was.  He had been in uniform but not in combat, and he wanted to keep it that way.  He went to Iraq thinking he would stay for a month, and maybe find a way to write about the war after he got home.
Ed Morrissey / Captain's Quarters:
