John McCain, promoting his life story with a “service to America” campaign tour, stopped yesterday at the place that service began more than half a century ago, the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s weeklong swing is designed to publicize aspects of McCain’s biography that, his strategists hope, will work to his advantage in the general election against the less experienced Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
Deliberately or otherwise, the heavily scripted events, centered on his military career and 5 1/2 years in a North Vietnamese prison, have also drawn attention to McCain’s temper and age.
At a Northern Virginia boarding school, Episcopal High, where he spent three years in the early 1950s, McCain acknowledged Tuesday that he had not entirely outgrown his “rambunctious” behavior and chip-on-the-shoulder attitude as a teen.
