“I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.” ...playing Devil's Advocate here - sure, if that had been McCain's only accomplishment to date, they Weaselly Clark was correct. But, contrary to what Obama's attack dogs are trying to say, that's not all McCain has accomplished.

I think that, unlike other former presidential contenders, McCain is not making his military service stand front and center. I could be wrong on this, please feel free to correct me - but what I've heard out of McCain is more policy-driven than "I fought in Vietnam, you know."

And frankly, the more I look at McCain, the more I like. Dunno if he's running to the center as a part of the election, but I'm hearing more and more good things (fiscal responsibilty, no socialized medicine, etc) come out of his mouth.

I don't like some of the bills he's authored in the Senate, though. I'm not sure if I should believe what I see now, or what his record has been.

Re. McCain’s “fiscal responsibility.” He has already admitted that the economy is not his strong suit. The fact that he now has Carly Fiorina (former CEO of both Lucent and HP) as his chief economic advisor proves this.

Look up Penny Pritzger - Obama was raised — that is how and why he wrote his book -— raised from a pup at Harvard, by Prizger and the Olinsky suck ups.
