In the vehement dislike of some Republicans for John McCain, I think they lose perspective on who he is. You may not disagree with McCain as a politician but he is an American hero.
This video shows why John McCain is the definition of an American hero. While I do not support him, nobody can ever take away the sacrifice he has made for this country.
I too agree with the others that McCain is not the man for me in this race but he certainly is an american hero, and a good man. I respect his service to this country.
The one thing that bothers me about Romney, and about the race more generally, is the clear darth of candidates with military experience. This could well be the first race in memory where neither candidate has military or war experience of any kind (in 84′ Reagan had war experience as CIC) and that’s a real shame. The Texas Air National Guard may not be much, but it’s better then nothing. So John McCain is a real treasure in that regard and has probably earned his status as my second choice because of it.
