Age and experience > youth and ambition
When it comes to helping to run a whole country, I would rather put my money on age and experience. So what if McCaine is old? His VP can/will take over if he has a heart attack or starts to get dimentia.

Obama's running mate...who will it be? Hillary? Great....So when he gets assassinated, we STILL have to deal with a shitty pesident. No idea who McCaine's running mate will be either yet, but I would be willing to bet it won't be a woman.
As for the POW question....Well...Our military has ALWAYS been proud of the fact that we leave no one behind. Dead or alive. We bring them all home. McCaine KNOWS this from EXPERIENCE. Obama doesn't. In fact, I really am not sure that Obomer is in touch with our military and their needs at all. Yes, he just now went to Iraq to do a guided tour. Of course, he didn't get to see the really fun places where there's actually shooting going on.

So he gets to see the nice things. Bullshit IMO. He is not in touch with our military's needs. I think that he will reduce our military size and make the country weaker in a time when we need a larger military.
