This isn't a thread about Obama. This is a thread about McCain. Now, does anyone have anything worthwhile to add? There's a whole other section for bashing Obama.

Amen. I was just thinking the same thing.
The title is as clear as it can be and yet only one honest answer was offered: Earmarks.
Combatting Earmarks is admirable, and it is reflected to some degree in McCain's record. On the flipside, McCain has openly stated that his method of combatting earmarks is to VETO, VETO, VETO!!!
This strikes me as an incredibly obtuse and destructive way to deal with the issue. We have political gridlock in Washington now. To announce that you're going to veto every bill that has State infrastructure spending, etc... on it, only exacerbates what America already hates about Washington.
McCain hasn't offered a constructive solution for earmarks... he's announced that he's engage in a tit for tat pissing-match with them.
