McCain’s role model- Theodore Roosevelt

From NYTimes.com: McCain’s Conservative Model? Roosevelt (Theodore, That Is)

“I count myself as a conservative Republican, yet I view it to a large degree in the Theodore Roosevelt mold,” Mr. McCain said, referring to Roosevelt’s reputation for reform, environmentalism and tough foreign policy.

I wonder if John McCain and old Teddy talked political policy while serving together during the Spanish American War.

Do you have to go that far back to find a Republican that supported reform, environmentalism, and tough foreign policy?
