Which was the most fevered lunge for self-promotion by a power player?
1. Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) shouting at Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) during the Democratic presidential debate, “Who the hell are we going to nuke?... Tell me, Barack. Barack, who do you want to nuke?”
2. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), after his “Bomb Bomb Iran” joke, having himself introduced twice in South Carolina to the Beach Boys’ “Barbara Ann” as a tweak to his critics.
3. Former Massachussetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican candidate, stating, “everybody in this race that I know has changed their mind on certain positions, and they’ve done so as they gained more experience.”
