That presumes that his memory lapses and anger management problems were not caused by those five years of brutal treatment. Not all damage is as visible as a withered arm or broken bones.
I respect and honor Sen. McCain for his service to country and for keeping faith with his fellow POWs. That being said, I don't regard him as particularly stable nor do I trust his recent conversion to "conservatism" after years of his demonstrated liberalism.
It is almost certain that I shall vote for him regardless of my reservations. To follow any other course would do inescapable harm by aiding the democrat victory. I am caught between the devil and the deep blue sea and shall make my final decision when I see his Vice Presidential choice.

When McLame has barely 50% of the Conservative vote, and in the election, about at least 25% will simply not vote for him, that makes his chances of winning very slim. He can pander to the moderates and Indies all he wants. It will do him very little good.
Real Conservatives simply do not trust him or believe him. Especially his outright lies that he claims to be a Conservative in all of his speeches, in spite of his Liberal record and repeated abuse of the Conservative base.
