Assuming the text of Republican John McCain’s speech would be available at his campaign web site soon after it was delivered in Columbus, Ohio, this morning, I opted to put my pen down and listen as the presidential candidate spelled out his vision for the first four years of his presidency. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
At approximately 11 a.m. Central, I visited JohnMcCain.com and clicked on the “Read More” button that appears within a box (above) occupying the site’s highest-value real estate. Unfortunately, that click took me to another page — a snapshot of which is shown below — consisting of one message: “You are not authorized to view this page.”
Perhaps, the McCain campaign team needs to focus more attention on the here-and-now instead of on what the world might look like after four years of a McCain presidency. Doing simple things right would go a long way toward helping the Arizona senator disperse some of the lesser-of-two-evils smoke many conservatives see hanging over his candidacy.
NOTE: I repeated the steps described above at least four times before publishing this post.

UDPATE 12:15 p.m Central: A blogger friend, Terresa at NoisyRoom.net, pointed out to me that she found the speech — Remarks By John McCain in Columbus, Ohio — available elsewhere on McCain’s site this morning. Still, I stand by my observations that the candidate needs to do the simple things (i.e., making sure the most-prominent links on his web site work properly) right before focusing on more complex issues. Thanks, Terresa!
