I think Bush and Dean are both divisive, because both are products of a polarized nominating procedure that attracts only the most hard-core members of each party. Instead of getting one candidate everyone can agree on, we get two candidates who each satisfy half the country, while angering the other half. I thought John McCain would have been the most unifying president to emerge from 2000. Independents and Democrats held him in high regard, but he wasn't far enough to the right for the GOP base. By the same token, Bill Bradley could have erased memories of the Clinton Wars, but he didn't have the support of the Democratic establishment.

What's an example of issues on which McCain is more unifying?

You've got to be kidding.
John McCain's primary campaign is probably best known for making inflamatory statements that insulted and alienated the religious right and others in the republican base.
McCain was a divider.
