I like him. I think he is rational and articulate and patient and empathetic.
I also think he will herald in a new era of slightly reduced US political arrogance, and increased willingness to discuss, and increased willingness to try to genuinely understand and incorporate conflicting viewpoints on the international stage.

Scipio told the Carthaginians to get rid of all of their heffalumps after the third Punic war
But seriously, McCain was fairly reasonable as the Republican mind set goes, despite his Beach Boy "Bomb bomb Iran" antics; more or less telling the hard right to fuck off when his "conservative credentials" were called into question
but then he selects a right-wing religious red neck as Pallin as his running mate, extreme failure

I feel compelled to mention, pasted from a previous thang..;
Obama is extremely dangerous for numerous reasons. He wants 'national service'. He wants MORE troops in Aghanistan. His chief political advisor is Zbigniew Brzezinski. Who's son advises McCain. He still won't supply his original birth certificate. He's received FOUR times the amount of corporate contribution than any other candidate. A large portion from Goldman Sachs. His record while in the senate proves he did NOTHING. His ties with Bill Ayers, Saul Alinsky and Raila Odinga.
Plus his proposal for the new 'carbon tax' which will cripple the US economy..more so.
Also, it's more than likely that he was born in Kenya, which represents a 'constitutional crisis'.

I am sorry,
but where does this, "Also, it's more than likely that he was born in Kenya, which represents a 'constitutional crisis'." come from? Why is he more than likely born in Kenya?
also, i'm still a little confused that it seems to matter an awful lot if a US politician fought in a war that the yanks lost or at least didn't win much, all i ever hear is war vet this war vet that, or maybe it's about saving animals and i'm missing the point.

I don't get the military service thing
I appreciate people feel better if the person giving the orders has some insight into service life, but why doesn't this reach to other walks of life? Why is a candidate not talked down on education for not having been a teacher, or their healthcare ideas rubbished for not having worked in a hospital? Is the military really the single most important thing?

Having willingly done, or been forced/pressured into doing, a dangerous job for a few years doesn't make you smarter or a stronger leader. In fact, I'd argue potentially quite the opposite.

Commander in Chief
The President of the United States also carries that title and responsibility. As someone who has been fired at (and shackled by UN rule of engagement), led troops in combat and had to endure the crucible of the military, it means quite a bit to me.
However, it goes beyond simply 'character.' It drills down into the true patriotism of the candidate. Having felt called to serve my Nation since I was a little guy, I served this Nation, in, I feel (as do many others) the most intimate way possible: I offered to expose myself to possible death in order to protect and serve this Nation.
I am incredibly proud of my Service to this Nation. And when I see a man who has Served, been under fire AND emerged with the respect and admiration of his fellow soldiers/sailors/airmen and Marines, I know a great deal more about him, strictly by that similar shared experience.
THAT is what is important about McCain having served our Nation. Well, I say "Our" when in actuality I mean "My" because most of you dont live in this country.
Cheers.

He was a pretty bad pilot, crashed several times
he graduated near the bottom of his class at Annapolis (and if his father and grandfather weren't both admirals he would have been booted out for cause,) he was not a good officer in the Navy - known as a "hot-head troublemaker." He went on an unauthorized mission over Hanoi and was shot down. So he got lucky by being pulled out of the wreck and not drowned and became a POW. He soon was telling important details about his ship, his mission, etc. without even being tortured - his nickname was "Songbird." Because he was the son and grandson of famous admirals he was treated better than other POWs at the time. Other POWs who were there with him have said he is not qualified to be president just because he was a POW.
What about the legion voters and observers who don't consider his skin colour a factor?
Genuine question, I'm not just being a bitch. I really, honestly, truly don't care what colour he is. At all. (Although I *do* think it's about time that someone other than the rich, white, racist demographic you mention gets a shot, so in that sense I'm perfectly happy that he's so close.)
