I'll stand by the rest of what I said. It's still not relevant whether he was a hero or a fuckup, and this is still no reason to vote for him over Obama (or vice-versa).

No ONE reason usually sways people. BUT when weighed as a net positive or negative, McCain like it not, has the greater experience in that area. Period. If we are going to start parsing, a 47 year old guy whos claim to fame is community outreach and a slim 2 year senatorial record, who surfed to victory in a one man campaign ( keyes was substituted for a candidate that was taken out of the race by a divorce mess) is more qualified in any way shape or form even simply based on life experience to lead , manage etc. I have to tell you is that is such a stretch I don't quite know what to say.
Kennedy had 7 years in the house and 6 years as a senator, been in a war, he went to see Khrushchev in Vienna shortly after his election, know what he said when he got back? ( we already KNOW what happened, Khrushchev took him for an inexperienced weakling, and in effect he was to an extent) anyway, he, Kennedy admitted he was put threw a ringer and had been out pointed ......That should tell you , the same thing it tells me and any open who wants to rationally debate it, sans evidence of absolute idiocy and mismanagement someone whom has been a position of high responsibility and has, even if only peripherally dealt with issues of magnitude is always more enviable than an unknown.
