Jake Tapper of ABC News uses Twitter to goad Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) into saying what he’d be doing about Iran if roughly nine million Americans had done something different with their ballots. Quick transcription:

jaketapper: WH says it needs to focus on Iran’s nuke program/support for terror, must deal w Iran we have not 1 we wish we had. response?

jaketapper: to translate from twitterese: WH says “We have to deal with the Iran we HAVE, not the one we WISH we had”…

SenJohnMcCain: that’s revisiting the cold war arguments on how we dealt with the Soviet Union

SenJohnMcCain: we must stand strong for democracy in Iran as we stood for Democracy in Poland, Germany, and Czechoslovakia

jaketapper: So if President Obama called u and asked your advice what would u tell him?

SenJohnMcCain: speak up for these young Iranians who deserve a free and fair election.

SenJohnMcCain: again, same old argument by the left during the Cold War – we’ve seen this movie before.

jaketapper: so bottom line, u think a stronger rhetorical show of support from PresObama — would that include a call for new election?

SenJohnMcCain: Absolutely!! Funny, how history repeats itself…

If this is indeed a repeat of the Prague Spring, McCain expects Iran to be free sometime circa 2031.
