McCain Defends Sarah Palin to Des Moines Register Editorial Board (video)

Jonathan Martin at Politico introduces film clips from the Des Moines Register’s interview with John McCain:

“An emphatic, combative and at times surly John McCain today tangled with the Des Moines Register editorial board over his running mate, the nature of his campaign and whether he can appreciate the health care needs of Americans.

“The paper posted a series of clips from the session on their website.

“It's a hard-edged McCain that is rarely seen on film.”
