The fact that he doesn't quite grasp the situation in Iraq or the rest of the middle east is scary especially when you factor in his geriatric senior moments that seem to strike daily.
And then we have Roe vs. Wade.
I think he's an awful candidate, even if he has done a lot in the past to work across the aisle.

If anything, McCain's POW status made him stand pretty solely against the R party and W's position on torture - so that mostly negates your conclusion

As for Iraq, do you really think come next Jan., Obama will whisk the troops home in a month? I suggest that will never happen and it will take years of a staggered withdrawal. Again, I want them home now, but realize that cannot happen without huge consequences. Have we learned nothing from the past?
