Here's the quote from his op-ed in today's Wall Street Journal:

Meanwhile, we are watching the American elections closely along with the rest of the world. The Russian ruling elite is rooting for Hillary Clinton, who represents a known and predictable entity compared to Barack Obama. John McCain has been outspoken on behalf of democratic rights abroad, including Russia. Regardless of the doubts about Mr. McCain's conservative credentials at home, the thought of him in the White House strikes fear into authoritarian leaders everywhere.

Thus the most compelling case for the McCain campaign. And, of course, there is nothing a tyrant fears so much as hope and change. So what does this tell us? HT: FP Passport
