there’s another thread on this somewhere, i’m not that scandalized by mccain’s comments, to tell you the truth -- i think the question asked him was an appropriate question but asked inappropriately, and his response seems to be in jest. although the “you’re drafted” comment is sorta strange -- i’m not sure what he meant by that.

as someone who finds mccain’s politics almost uniformly objectionable, i have to admit that out of the republican camp he’s probably among the candidates i like most. at least you do get the impression he says what he means, and isn’t providing the same market-tested pap candidates on both sides are doling out.

i guess he’s sorta like ron paul that way. among the dems, joe biden and dennis kucinich are my favorites for similar reasons. (although kucinich’s politics are about as unrealistic as mccain’s are unpalatable.) anyway, unfortunately, that’s probably why none of these guys will win. edwards, clinton, obama and all the other republican guys have a very bland, polished package and for some reason that seems to have become a prerequisite to getting taken seriously.
