At old high school, McCain addresses temper issue

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) sought to reassure voters Tuesday that he is aware of a temper that has at times rubbed even members of his own party the wrong way.

Speaking at his alma mater, Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va., the GOP presidential nominee spoke about education and acknowledged that his childhood as the son of a naval officer made him combative throughout his life.

At the height of the GOP presidential race, Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) both publicly criticized McCain for his temper and vitriol.

Cochran had told The Boston Globe that the possibility of electing an “erratic” and “hot-headed” McCain to the White House “sends a cold chill down my spine.”

.....

A chill wind, indeed.
