Why not? All candidates should be held to the SAME standard, and a higher one at that. If you're applying for a job as the most powerful person on the planet then I think it's more than reasonable that it becomes less a personality contest and more a capability contest. If all candidates are held to the same, higher standard and it turns out that McCain is the best person - great! But at least the decision has been made on the quality and caliber of the candidates.
