With all the negative publicity the Senator is getting hit with right now we need a thread that at least starts out positive. John McCain is the best candidate for president. He is experienced, wise and mature. He has the judgement we need and the temperment to rise above the storm and provide the calming steady hand our nation needs. Now I have started please join in and at least help balance out any negative posts with more positive

I really have nothing positive to say about him except that he used to be a hottie when he was a young man.

I don't think he is the best candidate, but I have to say that I rather like McCain, because he's been a moderate - and despite his recent moves, I still think he will remain a moderate. In my opinion, his recent moves to the Right have been attempts to shore up his base (personally I think that base is probably as secure as it can be now (depending upon what comes out of the Bailout talks however) and he SHOULD be looking towards the Center). I remain convinced however that IF becomes President whe will mostly be a Centerist President.

I REALLY do not trust Palin (I just don't trust the Religious Right) but I think that (barring something happening to McCain) she will be largely relegated to a "do nothing" role in a McCain administration - just as she's been cloistered away now. The fact is, McCain is no friend to the Religious Right and he never will be. Palin's presence on the ticket is his way of getting their support for his bid for the White House - and in my opinion, that's ALL it is. If he becomes President, she'll do a lot of nothing (at least that's my guess).

Senator McCain really knows how to jump out there and put it all on the line.

YES I AGREE!!! GO MCCAIN!!

He is absolutely the best choice. I just don't know if the American people will follow the election close enough to make an informed decision! But you are correct, he is the best choice!

This election is about anything except people being informed.

"All chips in"

McCain does not suffer from any deficiencies in Id, Ego or Superego.

This post is so ironically funny that I thought that it was a sarcastic write up by an Obama supporter . . .

And hey, I don't know if you've heard, but McCain was a POW and a Maverick. (Although I preferred James Garner as Maverick)

I do know he has provided me with images of him with Ike, Teddy R, MacArthur and of course General P. Perhaps at this point in time with all the issues we have it is time for a military coup to get us right.
